ResearchQuick introduction to our business research on the Modern Enterprise and

solutions development in Portals, Search, and Integration

• Icebreaker - Flare vs. Focus Mindset Practice the vocabulary for the focus group in “And” and “But” Statements.

• Review: Personas & Goals We’ll define a few different personas and try to focus on one of the three

potential areas where technology can help - Public Information, Client / Case

Information, Operational Information

• Define the Persona, Goals, & WantsWe’ll give our “Persona” a name and define their needs at work.

• Define the Experience & Emotional Arc We want the Persona to go through an experience and an emotional arc, how

can we do that?

Ice Breaker - Flare vs. Focus

Use “but” to constrain ideas to reality.

Use “and” to grow and flare to big ideas

Review: Personas & Goals

• Personas have a Name

We want the “Persona” to be someone we can

empathize with.

• Personas have a History

They are like real people with a believable

background. Someone that we can identify with.

• Personas have Goals

This could be “to enjoy work,” “save time,” or

“make money.”
