This seminar explains the impact of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
All businesses dealing with consumers and all those who advise businesses dealing with consumers are affected by the new Regulations.
The Regulations apply to contracts for both goods and services and whilst the main focus of the legislation is off-premises and distance contracts, all contracts between consumers and businesses, even those which are conducted on premises, are potentially caught. The sanctions for lack of compliance with the Regulations include claims in breach of contract and, in some cases, criminal offences, therefore awareness of the legislation is key.

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
