Digital disruption opens up a new range of communication, product and service opportunities for (health insurance) companies. The health activation trend makes the patient manage his health more actively and in turn creates new (prevention) opportunities for health insurance companies.

This document discusses how behavioral science can help improve sales programs and employee engagement. It notes that 85% of employees are disengaged, costing employers 35% of employee salaries. Behavioral science helps understand how and why our brains can be fooled. It discusses designing programs that tap into multiple behavioral drives, create a sense of progress and autonomy. Specific concepts covered include the four drive model of motivation, the progress principle, self-determination theory, framing effects, use of achievement words, emotional contagion through stories, and power of visualization. The document recommends learning about behavioral science and conducting an audit of incentive programs to identify ways to better incorporate these behavioral insights.
Team Wins Championships (Product Design Meetup #Antwerp)Little Miss Robot
We believe the world needs better designed products and services. Too often, design is just an afterthought, a visual layer added in the end. We founded the Product Design Meetup to bring together digital product people who deeply care about including design throughout the entire development cycle. Join our meetups to learn, share and discuss how designers shape meaningful products that people actually want to use.
This is the full slidedeck of our Smartees Seminar on ‘the Chief Consumer Officer’, hosted in Ghent on 24 April 2014. The presentation elaborates on how you can structurally collaborate with your consumers and how to bring all internal stakeholders on board and activate them to take relevant action. All of this illustrated with client cases of ATAG and the Belgian Football Association (KBVB).
The document discusses the potential for a startup studio model in Hong Kong. It outlines some of the challenges startups face in Hong Kong, such as lack of funding and support. It then provides an overview of what startup studios are, how they operate, and their benefits. Some key points are that startup studios build companies in a sustainable, repeatable way and provide resources like funding, teams, and networks. The document argues Hong Kong could support startup studios and lists 9 factors to consider, such as available founders and funding, focus areas, and exit strategies. It envisions studios helping address startup needs in Hong Kong.
I am a professional creative who spends quite a bit of time talking
about, and selling my creative work. This workshop summarises all of the little
tips and truths I’ve picked up from my talented colleagues over the years.
It was inspired by the fact there are so many courses about craft for designers,
writers and creatives of all disciplines, but very little in the way of practical tips
about showing and selling your own work.
This workshop is my attempt to correct this.

In search of the perfect customer journey - ManchesterRachel Aldighieri
This document summarizes a conference on mapping the customer journey in a multi-channel world. It discusses 3 key learnings: 1) examine customer journeys from the customer's perspective, 2) build journeys around emotional needs, and 3) ensure accountability for customer experience. It also notes that customer behavior has changed and journeys must reflect complex, multi-channel behavior. Successful companies bust silos, measure what matters, consider their people, and lead with their brand and customer.
The document discusses moving from a focus on touchpoints and consumer centricity to being more human-centered and rooted in understanding consumer needs and brand purpose. It advocates thinking again about how to deeply embed a new consumer-centric vision throughout the organization to guide strategy, product development, and actions. Consumer stories and needs would become key performance indicators, driving customer satisfaction and loyalty more than touchpoint satisfaction alone.

The document discusses the Join2Grow initiative launched by Fortis Bank to engage with entrepreneurs. It provides background on the platform and goals, which were to create an online community for European entrepreneurs and better understand their needs.

Next steps discussed include enhancing the platform and learning from the experience to apply to future projects.
The document provides 6 ways for businesses to compete in the new digital landscape of 2015. It recommends: 1) Just showing up online is no longer enough, businesses must commit fully to digital marketing. 2) Marketers need to learn new technologies to keep up with changing marketing trends. 3) Paid advertising channels like social media ads deserve attention to promote content and reach goals. 4) Digital experiences should be humanized by putting a personal voice and stories. 5) Telling the company's story across different online channels can engage customers. 6) Tactics should be integrated to optimize the customer's digital journey through a company's online presence.

WHO ARE YOUR COMPETITORS?
“Oh, we don’t have any competitors. No one really
does what we do.”
I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard
otherwise smart executives give this answer. Nor
can I think of a company or situation where it’s
actually true.
The really dangerous thing about that statement is
that it leads to ignorance, which can lead to being
blindsided. If you truly think you haven’t any
competition, you won’t watch the market. You won’t
see the disruption coming. And you won’t be able to
react to problems or capitalize on the opportunities
that competitive shifts can create.
When it comes to your competition, the answer isn’t
to put your head in the sand. It’s to actively and
regularly study that competition. And not just who
you think is the competition, but who your market
thinks is your competition.
So, how do you do that? How do you learn about
your competition and decide which part of that
knowledge you should (and shouldn’t) care about?
That’s what we tackle in this issue of Pragmatic
Marketer, thanks to the help of some great
contributors, a real-life case study and, as always,
a slew of tips and best practices you can put to
work immediately.
Happy reading,

It outlines 8 key lessons learned: 1) Starting with little forces sustainability over funding; 2) Founder focus is essential; 3) Doing quality work passionately builds reputation; 4) Accounting, legal, and finances cannot be ignored; 5) Family and advisors provide support; 6) Vision and attitude enable growth; 7) Culture is defined by early hires; 8) Self-care is important for founders. The document advocates learning from starting small, risky projects to truly understand entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship has exploded across the globe in recent years, but intrapreneurship is largely ignored. Intraprenuers are the men and women creating new products and experimenting with new business models within large corporations. Unlike entrepreneurship, they do this with the backing of their corporation and their full salary, decreasing their risk exposure to zero. It's fun, it's impactful, and it's a great stepping stone to venturing out on your own. Learn how to get started in intraprenuership by getting a copy of our new free book.

This keynote was an inspirational talk for in-company lawyers to motivate them in thinking along with the digital health "intrapreneurs" within their company.

User experience must always be seen in the bigger context of customer experience or it’s entirely possible that our work will be wasted even when that work is brilliant.

No referral to your company, your touchpoints
A recent McKinsey survey,1for example, indicates customer satisfaction with health insurance is 73 percent more likely when journeys work well than when only touchpoints do.
It means paying attention to the complete, end-to-end experience customers have with a company from their perspective. Too many companies focus on individual interaction touchpoints devoted to billing, onboarding, service calls, and the like. In contrast, a customer journey spans a progression of touchpoints, has a clearly defined beginning and end define by something one wants to get done.
Moments are the the specific steps consumers take while buying or using a product or service. Not all moments are equally important as some moments more strongly affect the overall consumer experience. Often they differ from the assumptions a company have. For example, on behalf of KLM we conduct a study to understand the key consumer needs related to transferring and helped them to develop winning concepts. We collected hundreds of actual transferring stories from frequent travelers. It struck us that many of the observations did not take place in the airport but on the aircraft before they landed in the airport where they had to transfer. We learned that travelers are insecure even on board whether they will get their connecting flight. So KLM had to think how to extend their current transfer touch points. It is not only about signage and wayfinding in the airport. Transfer starts in the plane.
Based on our own research, it appears consumers only have 5 brands they really love and would make compromises for. It shows that we are in the middle of a Copernican management revolution, with increasingly more leaders understanding that consumers rather than brands are at the center, just like the Polish astronomer Nicolas Copernicus defended the idea that the sun is the center of our universe rather than the earth.
People buy products and services to get jobs done. While products & services go away, the jobs-to-be-done never go way.
Business and innovation should focus on the jobs-to-be-done as they will lead to brand growth; products & services won’t.
The more jobs a product can help a customer get done, the more valuable that product is as a product platform in that space.
The key to brand growth is understanding, from a consumer perspective, what the entire job is and making that the focal point of value creation by:
Determining the job-to-be-done:
Understand what a consumer is trying to accomplish instead of what he is currently doing
Encompass the entire job by splitting it in the main jobs to be done and related jobs to be done
Write a job statement consisting of an action verb, the object of the action and a clarification context
Creating a job mapping by defining the executing steps (the most central tasks), and the pre- & post-execution steps
Determining need states by listing the desired outcome(s) per step
Determining opportunities by mapping needs that are poorly satisfied but important or by linking needs to a new technology or need
Ecosystems: Customers want more than insurance from their carriers
In the countries surveyed, insurance customers are open to having their insurers provide services beyond insurance. In major markets, interest in ecosystem services has grown since 2016.
In automotive, the services that customers are most interested in include roadside assistance; rewards for safe driving; sensors that alert them when their unoccupied car is damaged and that help them locate it when it’s stolen; discounts at repair shops; and safe-driving alerts.
For their homes, customers want emergency repair services, remote monitoring, alerts about intrusion and damage, and automatic shutdowns of appliances during fires and floods.
In health, customers are looking for wellness exams, disease screening and online diagnostics; expert guidance during treatment and recovery; digital access to medical records and protection against their unauthorized use; and help finding doctors and scheduling appointments.
Life insurance customers would like the same sorts of services as health insurance customers: expert guidance during treatment; checkups, preventative tests and diagnostics; digital access to records; and help finding medical providers. In addition, they want support for senior citizens.
Ecosystem services are just starting, especially in developed markets. In most of the countries surveyed, only a small minority of insurance customers use three or more ecosystem services; in Japan, just 2% do. In many countries, usage rates are highest in auto and health.

This while customers are more informed, having all the information they want within reach. This forces brands to communicate through a variety of touchpoints while at the same time guaranteeing a consistent and relevant brand experience
Yet consumers are becoming less and less loyal, snacking their way through different brands to fulfill their rapidly changing needs.

Common language – common
Relevant x (aha = surprise & familiar) x improving something that matters
1. Aha!
An insight differs from an observation in the fact that it is not immediately visible or ‘evident’, but that it only becomes clear when you are actually confronted with it. Or, as Steve Jobs described it: “A lot of times, people don’t know what they want, until you show it to them”. A strong insight is equal to a sort of ‘Aha’ experience: a combination of surprise and something familiar. It entails a view on something which was implicit all that time. To get to these ‘Aha’ moments, you need a creative and multidiscipline approach. Chiquita, for example, ‘activated’ consumers and ‘deprived’ them from their normal behaviour, in support of the launch of their smoothies. They asked consumers with a healthy lifestyle to eat less healthily, whereas consumers with a less healthy lifestyle were sent a fruit basket, with the question to eat more healthily. By taking consumers out of their comfort zone, Chiquita learned a lot of new things about the role smoothies could play on a mental and physical level.
2. It’s me
The second basic aspect of a strong consumer insight is relevance. A strong insight automatically calls for familiarity, sometimes even to the extent that you may even learn things about yourself that you were not aware of before. Try as much as possible to get as close as possible to your target group when testing the relevance of an insight. An example is how we became friends with Facebook fans of the Johnnie Walker brand; this allowed us to develop a much deeper understanding of the lifestyle and interests of the target group.
3. Tension
Behind every strong insight lies a need to improve an existing situation. In other words: it’s not just about being relevant; consumers should also feel a need to change something to an existing situation. A good example is Pampers (P&G): by focussing on the fact that babies with a healthy and dry skin feel better altogether and play, learn and develop more easily, they touch the emotions of any parent.
4. Insight ≠ idea
An insight is the start of possibly hundreds of ideas. It is a source of inspiration for branding, communication, innovation and customer experience. Madonna is a good example. For years she was at the top of the music entertainment sector. She innovated all the time, but never stepped away from one strong insight: “I want to escape the limitations of my daily routine and enjoy the activity of fantasising about alternative identities, lives or positions”. The easier you manage to come up with different ideas that start off from your insight, the stronger your insight is.
Everyone remembers the strategic marketing mistake Coca-Cola made at the launch of ‘New Coke’. Every taste testing showed that the new Coke formula was better than the familiar Coca-Cola flavour. But the Coca-Cola marketeers did not start off from a strong insight. The taste testing was based on small quantities of the soft drink, which gave a wrong idea of the taste experience. The relevance and the tension that was experienced were low: consumers were not really looking for a new Coca-Cola flavour. In the end it was not a start for a wide range of Coca-Cola marketing ideas; it was limited to flavour only.

User experience must always be seen in the bigger context of customer experience or it’s entirely possible that our work will be wasted even when that work is brilliant.
