Define: Framing the Problem

Learn how to analyze and synthesize research data, uncovering patterns, themes, and insights that highlight user needs and opportunities. From these insights, you’ll craft clear and compelling problem statements that guide your design efforts. Finally, you’ll translate those statements into focused design challenges that inspire innovative, user-centered solutions.

Learn essential techniques for synthesizing qualitative and quantitative data collected during the Empathize phase. Discover how to identify patterns, recognize user needs, and extract key insights that drive design decisions.

Develop skills for translating problem statements into actionable design challenges. Learn to create well-scoped challenges that balance real-world constraints with open-ended opportunities for innovation.

Develop the essential skill of crafting precise, actionable problem statements - a cornerstone of the Define phase in Design Thinking.
