The Empathy-Driven Business Model redefines strategy, technology, and innovation by putting empathy at the center of all operations. Developed by Crombie, this approach merges human understanding with cutting-edge technology to provide sustainable and impactful solutions for all stakeholders: customers, employees, partners, and society at large.
Beyond Traditional Models
The empathy-driven companies overcome the limitations of traditional models such as data-driven or customer-driven approaches, which often focus solely on specific metrics or narrow audiences. Instead, this model adopts a broader perspective, balancing emotional intelligence with technological solutions to construct more adaptable, people-centric businesses.

The Empathy-Driven Circle: methodology in action
The Empathy-Driven Circle is a process designed to integrate empathy into every stage of business development:
- Deep research and discovery: Identifies user pain points and emotional triggers to create solutions that resonate both functionally and emotionally.
- Strategic Business Design: Aligns solutions with long-term business goals to ensure scalability and sustainability.
- Technology Implementation: Takes a cloud-agnostic approach to solutions and technologies, selecting the best tools for each specific need.
- Continuous feedback and customization: Ensures solutions evolve through continuous cycles of evaluation and improvement.
Cloud and Technology Agnostic
This model avoids rigid vendor lock-in by being cloud and technology-agnostic. This allows organizations to
- Choose the most appropriate technologies for their needs.
- Adapt to new tools and frameworks.
- Focus on solving concrete problems rather than conforming to predefined offerings.
