Understanding the Empathize Phase

The Empathize phase is your entry point into the Design Thinking process. Here, you develop a deep understanding of the people for whom you want to create solutions.

​

Why is this phase important?

As an SME, you have the significant advantage of being close to your stakeholders. In the Empathize phase, you use this strength purposefully. You learn to truly understand the needs, desires, and challenges of your target group - whether they are customers, employees, or business partners.
