Resumen
Descripción
Explore, introduces learners to user-centered approaches for understanding the problem space of an existing or planned innovation before designing solutions. It emphasizes the importance of exploring users’ behaviors, opinions, preferences, and contexts to uncover needs, pain points, and frustrations related to current solutions. The module presents three key exploratory research methods, with a detailed focus on user interviews as a primary tool for gathering insights, and personas and “How Might We” statements as methods for synthesizing findings into clear design challenges. Through its four lessons—from introducing the Explore phase and gathering insights to synthesizing data and defining design challenges—participants build the skills and confidence to select appropriate research methods, conduct meaningful interviews, and systematically analyze qualitative data to inform human-centered innovation.
