As human beings we have limited brain power, and so our brains encode the everyday
things we do into habits, so we can free up space to learn new things.

When you change the way you look at
things, the things you look at change

Ideation Techniques
Definition:
An empathy map is a collaborative visualization
used to articulate what we know about a
particular type of user.
It externalizes knowledge about users in order
to:
1) create a shared understanding of user needs.
2) aids in decision making.
Ideation through research
Definition:
A customer journey map is a
visualization of the process that a
person goes through in order to
accomplish a goal tied to a specific
business or product. Its used for
understanding and addressing
customer needs and pain points.
Ideation through research
Definition: An experience map is a
visualization of an entire end-to-
experience that a generic person
goes through in order to
a goal.
This experience is agnostic of a
specific business or product. Its
used for understanding a general
human behavior (as opposed to a
customer journey map, which is
more specific and focused on
to a specific business).
Ideation through research
Definition: A service blueprint visualizes the
relationships between different service
components  people, props (physical or
digital evidence), and processes  that are
directly tied to touchpoints in a specific
customer journey.
Blueprinting is an ideal approach to
that are omnichannel, involve multiple
touchpoints, or require a crossfunctional effort
(that is, coordination of multiple departments).
