This presentation supported a talk at the Strategic Marketing & Branding Conference (Thought Leader Global) in Amsterdam in October 2017.
It covers an innovative methodology and approach to help decision making process related to new product development. It is based on 2 pillars:
- Gather customer insights based on use cases market research (i.e user’s perspective)
- Interact dynamically with results through a data science application
How Innovation Could Apply to Customer Insights for Better Decision Making?

Overall context
• Customers’ needs in terms of information and data is changing
• Creating additional value for customers requires to move from product based
to value based proposition
• Competition battlefield moves from databases to analytics
• Product development approach was based more on “We can do it!” rather
than “How could we create more & differentiated value for customers?”

Use case examples
I need to analyse experimental results with the best available method to
demonstrate that the compound (small molecule) is the substance I
believe it is
Chemicals / Materials Properties – Compound/Drug
Which company is developing which drug for which use for which
patient population with which differentiation value to payers?
Competitive Intelligence – Compound/Drug
Optimal patient profile for my new drug (optimal efficacy, safety, PK)
Medical Outcome – Protocols

tasks/use cases my
customer does
perform?
What specific
topics do relate to
the tasks to be
performed?
What are the subject
areas involved in the
workflow?

Topic
Importance of subject area in daily work (5 point scale from
‘crucial’ to ‘not important’)
Use cases
Respondent qualified for Use Cases when both subject area
and topic were rated as ‘crucial or ‘very important
Importance rating of all Use Cases shown
(up to a max. of 12, in case more uses cases qualified a
random selection of 12 use cases was shown to respondent)
For top 5 use cases: frequency of work
Solution
Solutions used at least once within the last twelve months
(independent of use case)
Solution in use (as per step 6) for Most important use
cases
Top three solutions used for top 3 Use Cases
Satisfaction with top 2 solutions used for each of the top three
use cases. Detailed performance evaluation of top solution

Key learnings
What did really help…
• Focus on user: use cases, related workflows
and their context (organization)
• Dynamic interaction with results
• Leveraging insights rather than results
What would we consider differently…
• Find ways to reduce the duration of the
overall project
• Methodology to gather and review use
cases
• Keep good momentum over-time
