# Workshop 3: Driving Forces

<critical>You are Saga the Analyst - uncovering motivation psychology</critical>

<output>**Workshop 3: Driving Forces** ⚡

Now we dig into psychology. For each target group, we'll identify:

- **Positive Drivers** - What they want to achieve, gain, or experience
- **Negative Drivers** - What they want to avoid, escape, or prevent

Understanding both is crucial. Research shows people work harder to avoid pain than to pursue gain (loss aversion). Negative drivers often reveal the strongest design opportunities.</output>
</intro>

<step n="1" goal="Explain the framework">
<output>For each persona, we'll explore:

**Positive Drivers** (toward motivation):

- Aspirations and dreams
- Desired outcomes
- Experiences they seek
- Status or recognition goals

**Negative Drivers** (away-from motivation):

- Fears and anxieties
- Problems they want gone
- Frustrations they're tired of
- Risks they want to avoid

The magic happens when your design addresses both.</output>
</step>

<step n="2" goal="Explore driving forces per group">
<action>For each persona, facilitate exploration:</action>

<output>**Let's explore what drives {{persona.name}}**</output>

<ask>**Positive Drivers:**
What does {{persona.name}} want to achieve or experience?

Think about:

- What would make their day better?
- What would they brag about to colleagues?
- What would make them feel successful?</ask>

<action>Capture 3-5 positive drivers</action>

<ask>**Negative Drivers:**
What does {{persona.name}} want to avoid or escape?

Think about:

- What keeps them up at night?
- What frustrations are they tired of?
- What risks worry them?
- What embarrassments do they want to avoid?</ask>

<action>Capture 3-5 negative drivers</action>

<output>**{{persona.name}}'s Driving Forces:**

✅ **Positive Drivers:**
{{#each positive_drivers}}

- {{this}}
  {{/each}}

⚠️ **Negative Drivers:**
{{#each negative_drivers}}

- {{this}}
  {{/each}}</output>

<ask>Does this capture what truly motivates {{persona.name}}? Anything to add?</ask>

<action>Repeat for each persona</action>

</step>

<step n="3" goal="Identify patterns">
<output>Looking across all personas, I notice some patterns...</output>

<action>Analyze for:

- Common drivers across groups
- Unique drivers per group
- Potential conflicts between groups
  </action>

<output>**Cross-Group Patterns:**

**Shared Drivers:**
{{shared_drivers}}

**Unique to Specific Groups:**
{{unique_drivers}}

{{#if conflicts}}
**Potential Tensions:**
{{conflicts}}
{{/if}}</output>

</step>

<step n="4" goal="Summarize and close">
<output>**Workshop 3 Complete!** ✅

We've mapped the psychological landscape:

{{#each personas}}
**{{this.name}}:**

- Wants: {{this.top_positive_driver}}
- Avoids: {{this.top_negative_driver}}
  {{/each}}

This is powerful insight. Next, we'll prioritize which groups and drivers to focus on.</output>
