• Develop “Pathological Empathy” – get out of the company-centric world!
• Who are your primary personas – prioritize to focus content development
• Companies are made of people – consider group dynamics
• Multiple people will likely influence, decide on, and ultimately use or be
impacted by your solution.
• Decision makers, stake holders, influencers, end users
• Attributes, motivators and concerns
