I completely re-evaluated the role of innovation in business growth: before reading this book I have to admit I thought it only entailed product new features and technologies enhancements, while now I see it has everything to do with meeting customer needs and uncovering a business USP, which automatically translates in sales! Could not recommend it more!

Unlike most business innovation books I read over the last years (and even decades) when reading How to create innovation you immediately understand the authors have been there, innovating and transforming some of the world's most amazing brands. Great work!

Not only this book offers the most comprehensive innovation and business change overview but it really helps you take the next step, driving you step by step from theory to practice (also with super useful background notes and driving questions)

I really enjoyed the whole book, but mostly the culture chapter, mainly because I always failed to acknowledge its major role in favouring or inhibiting business growth. Loved the graphics that helped connect all the dots in a visually appealing (and way easier) way.

We’been willing to innovate our business for some years now, but then we always got stuck before we even started, because basically we had no idea where to start…This book helped us do just that: find the right starting point with guiding questions and an incredibly comprehensive innovation overview.

Why we use it

The Empathy Map model is a valuable tool for businesses to gain insights into their customers’ needs, desires, and behaviors. It helps to create products, services, and experiences that are more effective and user-friendly, leading to increased engagement, satisfaction, and loyalty. It encourages collaboration and empathy within the organization, leading to new ideas and insights that might not have emerged otherwise. It is widely used in product development, marketing, and customer experience design to create more customer-centric solutions.

How It Works

The Empathy Map model works by analyzing the customer’s behavior, thoughts, feelings, and other key factors. The model consists of a visual representation of the customer’s experience, including what they see, hear, think, feel, say, and do. By analyzing these factors, businesses can gain a deeper understanding of their customers’ needs and tailor their products or services to better meet those needs. The seven sections of the Empathy Map lead you through a series of questions to ensure you consider your customers more deeply than we usually do.
The process involves collaboration with stakeholders, including designers, marketers, and customer service representatives, to ensure that everyone is aligned around the customer’s needs and focused on delivering a high-quality experience. The insights gained through the empathy mapping process can lead to new ideas and insights that can inform product development, marketing, and customer experience design.

What is the goal of the model?

Empathy Map model’s goal is to gain customer insights and foster empathy within organizations to create effective and user-friendly solutions.
