  • Outcome-Driven: Connect problem framing to measurable business outcomes.

Caveats Slide 72

  • Avoid skipping stakeholder input during the framing process.
  • Clarify that framing should remain flexible for refinement and continuous improvement.
  • Address potential resistance to prioritizing problems in a professional setting.
  • Highlight the risks of misaligned problem definitions when designing AI projects.
  • An example of framing a clear, actionable problem.
  • A well-framed problem example shows how to define user challenges, motivations, and obstacles to align team efforts.

Key Talking Points Slide 73

  • Persona-Based Framing: Use personas to ground the problem in real-world scenarios and focus the outcome.
  • Clarity in Challenges: Define the “why” behind user difficulties for a comprehensive approach.
  • Root Cause Identification: Highlight underlying issues like lack of awareness or adherence during the design process.
  • Emotion Connection: Capture user frustrations to humanize the problem.
  • Alignment Focus: Link the problem to broader team goals and outcomes for design excellence.

Caveats Slide 73

  • Avoid assuming the example fits all scenarios and adapt as needed.
  • Clarify that personas require validation for accurate framing of project goals.
  • Address potential overemphasis on emotional aspects without data support for artificial intelligence.
  • Highlight the importance of solving root causes, not symptoms in your efforts.
  • Using prompts to explore personas' challenges and goals with artificial intelligence.
  • Strategic prompts help teams uncover key pain points, outcomes, and barriers faced by personas to drive effective solutions.

Key Talking Points Slide 74

  • Identify Pain Points: Use prompts to explore persona challenges deeply and resolve issues.
  • Define Outcomes: Focus on goals the persona is striving to achieve through strategic actions.
  • Uncover Barriers: Highlight obstacles preventing success and formulate insights.
  • Empathy Focus: Understand how personas feel about their problems to create a human connection.
  • Iterative Exploration: Use prompts to refine understanding continuously.

Caveats Slide 74

  • Avoid generic prompts that lack persona-specific context for unique and specific solutions.
  • Clarify the role of prompts in guiding discussions, not dictating outcomes for a transparent project.
  • Address potential biases in persona-driven assumptions.
  • Highlight the need for team alignment when using prompts for a unified product and design process.
  • Define a problem worth solving for impactful outcomes in a professional format.
  • This activity encourages teams to document a clear, validated problem statement based on persona pains, gains, and jobs-to-be-done.

Key Talking Points Slide 75

  • Activity Goal: Document the top problems for user and buyer personas for the product
  • Problem Worth Solving: Focus on challenges tied to meaningful outcomes in an artificial intelligence project and rollout.
  • Collaborative Framework: Use whiteboarding tools to capture ideas and facilitate understanding.
  • Persona Connection: Link problems to the target personas' needs for focus and clarity on project design.
  • Outcome Alignment: Articulate a problem that supports measurable results with realistic design.

Caveats Slide 75

  • Avoid framing problems without supporting evidence for a data driven process.
  • Clarify that problem statements should be concise and actionable for easy problem solving.
  • Address potential misalignment in team perspectives and promote communication.
  • Highlight the importance of revisiting and refining problem statements as needed.
  • Moving from problem identification to solution exploration through thoughtful design.
  • Transitioning from understanding the problem to exploring solutions requires structured approaches to ensure alignment with user needs.

Key Talking Points Slide 76

  • Problem Clarity: Start with a well-defined, validated problem.
  • Exploration Frameworks: Use frameworks to ideate structured solutions for artificial intelligence systems.
  • Iterative Testing: Test hypotheses to refine potential solutions early and often in the design process.
  • Stakeholder Alignment: Ensure team buy-in before advancing the design to the next level.
  • Outcome Orientation: Keep solutions focused on delivering user value during product rollout.

Caveats Slide 76

  • Avoid jumping to solutions without full problem validation during AI based designs.
  • Clarify that initial solutions may require multiple iterations for optimal results.
  • Address potential misalignment in team solution priorities through consistent communication.
  • Highlight that solutions must be feasible and measurable during designs.
