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

As a business owner, I understand the importance of having a strong online presence and leveraging various digital platforms to reach and engage with your target audience. One often overlooked yet highly valuable asset in this regard is the humble Yahoo account. While many may perceive Yahoo as a relic of the past, the truth is that these accounts still hold immense potential for businesses of all sizes.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

7. Benefits of Action Research Based
Culture Change
It facilitates the learning and change through engagement,
research and discovery, collaboration and doing;
It aligns and integrates the technology, culture, structure and
people in the organization;
It reduces the rivalry between technical and functional people;
It eliminates the knowledge – doing gap
It builds and extends the organization’s capacity, strengthens
distributive leadership, and increases the knowledge, skill and
adaptability of the people.
Editor's Notes
Work today is changing rapidly. Every day is fraught with new issues and challenges. Every day is different requiring frequent adjustments and changes – one step forward, three steps back.
Revenues are flat, costs are increasing, jobs are enlarging, and people are frustrated and tired. Energy and inspiration are waning. New technologies offer great hope for increased efficiency and productivity but they are complex and require considerable time, resources and effort to learn and implement, especially while people are simultaneously trying to keep up with the daily work.
At the same time new technologies create a new playing field that go beyond the past practice and experience of their users. The promise of innovation and new technologies to do things faster and better, to save money and increase productivity are not as meaningful to many employees today because they tend to undermine and in many cases even negate the importance of past practices and skills and experience. Moreover, they are often contrary to the culture and past expectations of the organization. So culture change is like trying to build a new performance engine while swimming against a fast moving current in a work stream embedded with obstacles and even sharks, and without a safe platform of support to secure the engine or even a flotation device to tread water and catch your breath. So how can we implement culture change in organizations more effectively under these conditions?
Action Research is the approach that I’ve used for the past 20 years to engage leaders and users in a comprehensive, motivating, enlightening process to learn, test, and integrate the new ideas and technologies in the organization while building a culture of innovation. Next Slide Please.
Every organization is different. Therefore, strategies for implementing new technologies and culture change are hard to prescribe in advance of actually engaging key stakeholders and doing the research to identify the differences in culture, structure, and experience of the people, and to learn how those differences can be aligned and integrated with the new idea or technology. While the change process may be different for each institution, five phases have been recognized as important to successful change including the need to: discover new ideas, engage key stakeholders, utilize different methods in the process, enable and support those stakeholders with tools and resources, and embed the AR methodology together with the new technology in the organization’s culture.
What differentiates the Action Research approach is that it prepares the organization for change through engaging key stakeholders in an action research and learning process while at the same time effecting the desired change, building capacity and strengthening the organization for the future. The action research and learning process is based on the premise that successful culture change occurs when people are engaged in research discovering new ideas and creating new meaning. Engagement in using a variety of different methods is the key to creating new meaning and changing culture. Converging methods from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences are required to create meaning around new technologies. Methods from the humanities, including storytelling and interviewing help to create meaning. Methods from the sciences including experiments, surveys, and modeling create evidence and validate meaning. Methods from the social sciences and network theory embed the meaning of people and new technology into the culture of the organization. Next Slide Please.
Action research includes four converging research methods:
Appreciative Inquiry is a method of research to understand the history and culture of the organization and the experience of the people;
Semiotics is a method for creating common meaning among the members of the organization across personal, cultural, educational, hierarchical, functional and disciplinary boundaries;
Scientific method is a systematic process for establishing proof of concept and creating evidence through formulating hypotheses, gathering data, analyzing data, and designing and testing theories and models; and
Actor Network method is a method for establishing relationships, creating networks, building social capital, and coordinating action to achieve results.
Technological innovation is different in every organization because of differences in people skills and motivation, process and technology differences, and differences in culture. While the change process may be different for each organization, five phases have been recognized as important to successful innovation and change, including the need to engage people in a process of social inquiry to analyze the fit between the new technology and the organization; to construct a grounded theory of action based on the analysis, and to enact and embed the grounded theory of action in the culture. These five phases are summarized in the action research and mixed methods model. Action research includes four converging research methods: Engage, Analyze, Interpret and Construct, Enact, and Embed. Next Slide Please.
Key stakeholders must be engaged and motivated to successfully implement new technologies and create culture change. Action Research has proven to be a powerful enabler of strategic planning and change at all levels of the organization for employees, managers and supervisors, executives and vice presidents. Next Slide Please.
Some of the strategic benefits of the Action Research approach to culture change are:
It facilitates the learning and change through engagement, research and discovery, collaboration and doing;
It aligns and integrates the technology, culture, structure and people in the organization;
It reduces the rivalry between technical and functional people;
It eliminates the knowledge – doing gap
It builds and extends the organization’s capacity, strengthens distributive leadership, and increases the knowledge, skill and adaptability of the people.
