Get Your Seat at the Strategy Table By making it easy for your Customers to: - Do business with you! - Achieve their goals!

What is “Outside Innovation?”

Customers drive the design of your business processes, products, services, and business models.

I want to get a great deal and get my rebate promptly, with no hassles! Staples Easy Rebate ®

Customers roll up their sleeves to co-design their products and your business.

Customers attract other customers and partners to build a vital customer-centric ecosystem around your products and services.

Use Customer Insight & Co-Design to Achieve:

Design to Meet Customers’ Outcomes Customers’ Streamlined Scenarios Your Company’s Streamlined Processes Moment of Truth Moment of Truth Desired Outcomes

Moments of Truth = Business Opportunities

A real “Moment of Truth” is a showstopper

It keeps a prospect or customer from reaching their desired outcome

It’s when they can’t get things done “their way”

Goal: understand customers’ contexts, outcomes and key moments of truth

Ask them to quantify metrics around moments of truth (elapsed time, conditions of satisfaction, specific parameters)
