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
Storytelling is an incredibly valuable tool to share data and information. To get the most impact from stories there are a number of key ingredients. These are based on science and human nature. Using these elements in a story you can deliver information impactfully, ensure action and drive change.

Production of organic products and products without GMO for consumption in the domestic market and for exports to
China and the EU, incl.
▪ Meat products such as beef, lamb, pork,
horsemeat and other meats
▪ Halal products, such as beef, mutton,
horsemeat, and other meats
▪ Dairy products, such as cow, horse, and camel milk
▪ Oilseeds and oils-and-fats products
▪ Grain and fodder crops
▪ Fruit and vegetables
In 2015, Kazakhstan adopted a law on production of
organic products that is fully in line with the globally
adopted organic market regulation. Within the existing
technical regulations system, there is a separate area of
certification for organic production (in 2015)
"The existence of significant land and other
natural resources, as well as the existence of
a traditional culture of land cultivation without
the extensive use of synthetic fertilizers and
pesticides creates a huge opportunity for the
development of [the organic and non-GMO]
segment of the market"
