Jawwy: How a Saudi Digital Venture is Rewriting the Telecom RulebookCapgemini
As Saudi millennials are so digital-savvy, they expect a completely new kind of experience that is very different from what today’s telecom operators can provide. They expect an experience that is real time, on-demand, online, DIY and social. This is very much on par with the experience offered by the likes of Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon – seamless, intuitive and very simple.
The answer to this was Jawwy, an independent digital venture from Saudi Telecom Company (STC). The entire customer care model at Jawwy is digitized from end-to-end, featuring self-help, online, social and peer-to-peer support via crowdsourcing. Jawwy are building a new digital mobile operator model with the organizational DNA and agility of an internet player by going Greenfield.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Basedon the statisticsgivenbythe government,the numbersof 2.5G and 3G/4G mobile

cooperationwithbusinessclientsandprovisionof customizedserviceswouldbe ourmain
focus.It iswelcome forrestaurants,officesorindividualstoplace anorder onour platform.
Market positioning
We positionourselvesasa specialistof same-daydelivery. Traditional couriers suchasS.F.
Express,MorningExpressclaimthattheycan provide the same daydomesticservice if the
orderis placedinthe morning. The service,however,isrestrictedto the commercial area
and couldnotpromise todeliver atspecified time. Moreover,the cost isprohibitivelyhigh
for normal usersto requestthe courierstodeliverthe parcelswithintwohours.Thus,the
marketislackinga providerwithflexible orderingtime and placesof delivery atthis
moment.
The service thatwe provide tocustomers isdifferentfromthe vehicles-bookingcompanies
such as Gogovanand Uber.They merely connectregisteredvehicleswithcustomers to
provide point-to-pointtransportationservices. We,incontrast,connectsevenmillions
citizenstoprovide door-to-doordelivery. The logisticsnetworkwouldbe massive underthis
design.Also, ourtargetcouriersare all the citizenswhowantto earnextramoneyby

Hong Kongcitizens are busyand deliveryefficiency isof paramountimportance.Ourunique
