These methodologies and protocols, now the de facto standard deployed by countless leading-edge companies and practitioners, help business teams to “become” their targeted customer communities by “spending a day in their life,” thereby gaining an imaginative understanding of their unmet needs, transcending what the customers could envision on their own.
