Information is not the same as insight, so while organizations have an increasing amount of data about their audiences, they don’t always know how to make sense of it — what belongs, what’s actionable, and what will really help them meet their evolving challenges. Personas have been a well-known tool for describing audiences for some time, but they’ve usually been based on common denominators, indices and averages. As UX professionals, we understand that crafting compelling experiences begins with a deeper understanding of audiences than numbers alone will offer. This talk introduces another approach to creating personas. This approach brings research and data into an empathetic framework to produce a more human and intuitive connection and a deeper sense of consumers' wants and needs. At the same time, it can transform the design process by using empathy to promote collaboration, break down functional walls, and builds consensus.

Personas have been a tool “Here’s a simple rule for the second machine age we’re in now: as the amount of data goes up, the importance of human judgment should go down… The practical conclusion is that we should turn many of our decisions, predictions, diagnoses, and judgments— both the trivial and the consequential—over to the algorithms.” [bt] 9
