Michele Zwillinger presented a case study on how laddering research was used to help Infiniti prioritize new product features. Researchers used laddering interviews to link consumers' perceptions of potential features to underlying core values. Features were then evaluated based on how well they supported Infiniti's brand pillars and priorities. This research helped Infiniti develop its product adoption plan and identify features to include in new vehicles, such as the popular Around View Monitor. The laddering approach provided a framework to understand consumer values and guide important product decisions.
