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

the transfer of management of state activities through
contracts and leases, and the contraction out of activities
previously conducted by the state
Britain’s Margaret Thatcher, leader of privatization
movement
Airports, garbage, postal services frequent examples

• Trend all over the world
• China is allowing state-run enterprises to
diversify ownership
• Usually the buyers have financial success

private entities
Activities previously conducted by the state may be
contracted out
Governments may lease state-owned plants to private
entities
Governments may combine a joint venture with a
management contract with a private group to run a
previously government-operated business
18. Government versus private
In the past two decades, many governmental social
services have been privatized by contracting out to
private corporations.
This has happened in many human service fields.
The push for privatization is accompanied by a push
for downsizing government and transferring
governmental functions to for-profit enterprises

fiscal, monetary and political
policies are whose predictable
and not suddenly change

or radical policy changes

international company regional headquarters,
business services, transportation, and tourist center of
the Middle East.
Then civil war broke out in Lebanon. Offices, banks,
stores, transportation, communications, and hospitals
were destroyed. Almost all of the previous
commercial activities ended.
22. Benefit of stability
• More investor due to safety and security
• More tourists because they think it’s safer to make
holiday in political stable country
• Citizens feel safe
• Tax system would be consist with the minor change
• Changes of governance will be smoother and
respected by all the parties

change can have a significant impact on business. If

24. Political instability impact on business

even greater impact on business
and it may make them reluctant
to invest in new capital or enter in
new markets. It may even inspire
relocation of activities to a more stable and predictable
area as business owners hate risk.
25. Can political stability hurt economic growth?
