4. A few questions about your work
Another show of hands:
• Who’s had work done that
was never used?
• Who began to work, only to
have requirements change
mid-way?
5. A few questions about your work
Again, show of hands:
Who trusts their
Product/Project
manager?
Who trusts their
Product/Project
manager?
6. Identifying the underlying problem
One of the main reasons things get out of hand is
lack of clear vision.
7. Backwards engineering
“We’re not competitor-obsessed, we’re
customer-obsessed. We start with what
customers need and we work backwards “

8. What do I want?
To convince you that taking an
interest in your customer pays
off.
Hallow me is Adi ,I’m a senior data analyst and innovation catalyst at Intuit lets bark down this big title our work and how its help our costumer needs
I been an analyst for 11 years and today at intuit my second role is an innovation catalyst
In this role I coach and perfect intuit method and best work practices for ingenuity that help intuit be the best in our field.
“vision” and not requirements.
The costumer vision goes throw many middleman (PM,Dav,QA,DevOPS)
As we move from the old world where the manager decide our tasks to the agile world where we choose the tasks and set there time frame
Start with peas and end with fleas
A little company called amazon her CEO said
And you may say hey I'm B2B not B2C, I don't see\ talk to costumers
The people around you, here / at work in the next desk, down the hall , in your floor or the next one.
Your customer are often not the end users (of the app or product)
As a data analyst, I am the customer of AI, DEV, Data Engineering
What do we see here (trees, animals, birds ) every one see thing from there passion
some will say its a forest but if we will look at the vison (my vison) it’s a animal rescue shelter
Real example -
If we’re asked to build a landing page we could built it to take a certain amount of traffic. Understanding if it’s a landing page for tickets to a Led Zeppelin reunion or Tzvika’s wedding confirmation will help us choose the right infrastructure.
I want to present you with some best practices we use at Intuit.
These principals are called Design for Delight
Let’s touch on GBGN and RE, but focus on DEEP CUSTOMER EMPATHY
GBGN : The best way to get good idea is to get a lot of ideas and throw the bad ones away.
RE : Build a cheep and quick mock up to see if that what your client need
Ask Why?
I need a landing page. Why? For a to sell tickets. Why? To because Led Zeppelin are getting back together– so you need a counter, and traffic is up to 10000 hits a second…
And To Show You
Show me what do you do after you sell the ticket
And Listening we all thought about why not to automate the process
Before we summarize, let’s open for questions
Ask yourself, who do you work with? Walk over and initiate a conversation. Leverage that to a meeting.
Most people want to talk about what they do. You can explain that you want to got onboard to improve your work together.
This is important, Frame the conversation by saying that you want to follow and listen, you are not there to solve the issues but to understand them.
Our problem is not been close to the source the customers and there needs
We pay a price with time being wasted on multiple changes ,work going down the drain and being frustrated with the process.
The solution is easy : go to your customer ,ask why ,show me how and listen.
The payoff is huge: our work is more efficient and more of it is implemented and we really help our customer.And its good to remember that’s:
