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 Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Hello. We are SocialCanvas, and we are a not-for-profit art curator and aggregate marketplace. We are here today to talk about how we sell exceptional art by exceptional artists.
Now let us tell you about the <click> artist, Heather. Heather has been <click>passionate about art for as long as she can remember. While at university, pursuing her Art History degree, she fell due to a previously undiscovered heart condition and suffered traumatic brain injury. She still is an extremely talented artist, but now is unable to market and sell her artwork. For many of us, getting work to an art fair or selling online would be a <click>challenge. For her, it is near <click>impossible.That hasn’t stopped Heather from continuing to create amazing pieces of art. And she’ll probably never stop, as is the calling of any great artist. There should be nothing keeping this artwork from being sold, but Heather needs <click>help. And we plan to provide it.<click>SocialCanvas is not just a not-for-profit art curator--it’s an art curator for outsider art.

You may be asking yourself “how many people are there out there like Heather?”<click>Across the US, there are hundreds of not-for-profit organizations and studios that help people with disabilities just like Heather to create art.
And what happens with their artwork? Some get sold at events. Most sit in storage because the organizations can't devote a lot of time to selling. These organizations create real social value with the help of grants and donations, but not economic value. We here at SocialCanvas use our expertise to help bring this art to market. We infuse money back into these organizations, helping them be sustainable too.

There are three main steps in our value chain:<click>sourcing, <click>curation,<click>and sellingI’ll hand it off to Ali to go into detail.
TRANSITION TO ALI:Of organizations that we’ve reached out to, <click> 7 are currently in discussions to provide us with artwork<click> This represents 350 artists <click>, whom generate over 1,000 total pieces a month. This represents about <click> 140 sellable pieces of art a month.We are constantly in discussions with new studios to add as partners in our cause.
The ones that we’ve talked to; love us and are more than happy to work with us. It’s a low risk agreement for them; we will use drop shipping so they will always have the artwork at their location; we’ll give them a broader audience and hence extra income.
Curation is an essential value proposition for our business. <click>Although there are many sellable pieces of artwork created by individuals with disabilities, just like with any art <click>—there is a lot created that simply would not sell. Our value proposition is that we hand-select the exceptional art to offer so our customer can save time and effort. We will be hiring curators to pick out the best art possible. They will earn money and serve their community. They will also set the price range of the art based on comparables, quality and style. <click>Our first curator, Catherine, is an artist and designer who has already <click>curated a few dozen pieces.{Blouse department store example if people ask}
We plan on having a dual-channel go-to-market strategy, with an extremely targeted approach.<click>On one side, we will conduct an online awareness strategy of <click> partnering with disability-aware websites, <click> pushing our story through targeted blogs (such as disability and art-related blogs) and <click> engaging with interested parties through social media. This is a push strategy designed to drive traffic to our website and generate e-commerce sales.<click>On the other side, we’ll have an offline strategy. This will include <click> selling through a sales force to a targeted list of small business who have indicated they are interested in disability-issues, as well as selling at <click> art fairs and <click> silent auctions.
TRANSITION TO ZACHAnd where are we now?We’ve implemented a pilot approach working with <click> small businesses. We have one part-time salesperson, who has seen tremendous success. Using a targeted list of “disability-aware companies,” we have seen a 6% conversion rate from cold-calls to sales. <click>We’ve also begun to develop our social media presence, but it is currently in it’s infancy.
Each SocialCanvas piece of art will include a plaque stating what the art is and who it supports. This helps increase the value of the artwork for those who purchase and wish to signal their community involvement; and, for businesses, their corporate responsibility.This also brings awareness to any individuals who see this artwork. It encourages them to visit our website and potentially purchase some themselves.Dagan Comment: Everyone ok with removing “continue their craft” from the plaque?
These two focused strategies are what will allow us to access the <click> socially-conscious mainstream consumer.
Through our learnings in our first phase of selling, we plan on moving more towards and online marketing effort. This is where we feel we will be able to achieve scale. We will have had 6 months of experience in the market before we make our shift.

ALI TO JUMP IN HERE:<click>Our art will have a large range, from $150-$1,500. This range is set from the curator through their knowledge of the market and quality of the art. It will also allow us to reach low-end and high-end consumers.<click> Half goes to the organizations that they then share with the artists. <click>Of the half that goes to social canvas, we provide commissions to the salespeople and curators, leaving a 27.5% margin to cover fixed costs.
It will take a few months for us to establish our selling patterns. We’re asking you to help us fill this gap until we can build traction and scale. <click> We foresee break even point at about 135 units/per month and feel we can reach that point in mid-December.The model conservatively assumes no online sales. Any success in that market will help us reach break-even sooner.
Zach, our Chief Marketing Officer, has experience in media planning and activation rounded out with expertise in social media. In addition, he works as a creative arts instructor.Courtney, our Chief Financial Officer , brings a wealth of financial knowledge from her years as a financial analyst.Sam, our VP of Sales founded a successful wine eCommerce business, Dagan, our Chief Operation Officer, has a wealth of experience in the strategy space from his years at Chrysler. To bring together this awesome talent, we need an excellent leader and for that we have me. In addition to being an amateur artist & photographer myself, I’ve managed teams at technology startups and consulted non-profits in the disability arts space. Furthermore, our four other co-founders, Courtney, Dagan, Sam, and Zach will continue to moonlight on this venture as they all have an affinity towards art, entrepreneurship, and helping those less fortunateI’d also like to add that 3 of our team have led or are leading the Philanthropy Club here and have done project with Local Optima, a pro-bono consulting team for non-profits.Furthermore, our four other co-founders, Courtney, Dagan, Sam, and Zach will continue to moonlight on this venture as they all have an affinity towards art, entrepreneurship, and helping those less fortunate
Over the next 6 months we will require seed capital of $120k for initial startup costs including incorporation, legal support, further website development and initial salaries. We plan on incorporating as a non-profit primarily to establish credibility, but also to signal our social values and to access grants and foundation money.
TRANSITION TO ZACHWith your help, you will not just be investing in a successful business. You are investing in helping individuals get their life’s work to market. You will be directly impacting the quality of their lives by helping provide sustainable income for themselves and their studios and validating that their talents mean something to the rest of the world. So please, we ask you to help people like Heather.But if you don’t want to do it for Heather, do it for Benji. Or Kathy, or Jean, or Alex or any of the countless artists with disabilities who we want to bring to market.Thank you.
We’ve divided our competitors into 3 broad categories; online art galleries, brick & mortar galleries and studios/galleries which work with artists with disabilities. Our major differentiators are the fact that we work with artists with disabilities, have a broad reach that is comparable to most online galleries AND provide dedicated curating and sales services.
