Immersive experiences with not for profits or disadvantaged groups are a powerful way to build empathy, underpin adaptive leadership or support diversity and inclusion programs..
Empathy
Building empathy is the heart of what we do.
We believe in the Human Centred Design approach, where we step into the shoes of our stakeholders, putting aside our own values, beliefs and assumptions to deliver something that is truly of value to them. We use techniques such as persona’s, empathy maps, interviews, day in the life of, and immersing ourselves in their world.
Empathy is also the foundation of our Walk-a-While programs, where the goal is to build greater understanding of people, communities and stakeholders who are different from ourselves.
Our Size9 Empathy Toolkit is a practical and powerful set of tools we can use if clients need to address common empathy gaps, which can lead to silo thinking, lack of alignment or trust, group think, failed change initiatives and to promote a more diverse and inclusive culture.
