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

your passion early and

12. he complicated world of mortgage lending is
Toften synonymous with paperwork piles and
sluggish processes. Borrowers must navigate a
complex web of regulations and requirements, gather

at a time!
Pages of Progress
Karthik Kumar's journey unfolds against the backdrop
of a diverse Indian upbringing, marked by the rhythm of
relocating to different cities during his formative years.
From elementary to high school, each transition kindled
an evolving perspective. His academic path led him to
Delhi University, where he earned a degree in Business
and Commerce. However, this was merely the prologue
to the remarkable story he was about to script.
In the wake of academia, Karthik's path took a decisive
turn. "Becoming a Chartered Accountant under the aegis of
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India marked my
entry into the world of finance," he reflects. Yet, his
intrigue didn't confine itself to numbers and ledgers. A
fascination with technology began to bloom, laying the
foundation for a transformative professional odyssey.
Stepping into the early chapters of his career, Karthik's
narrative unfolded against the backdrop of the ERP
sector. He remembers, "Technology's enchantment was
undeniable, propelling me to immerse myself in the ERP
domain." The unpredictable currents of the ERP market
soon guided him towards a different arena—the
banking sector.
With the dawn of a new era for the Business Processing
Outsourcing industry in India, Karthik's journey
intersected with Standard Chartered Bank. "Joining this
esteemed institution was fortuitous, aligning with my ever-
growing affinity for the world of finance and services," he
recalls. A three-year tenure there enriched his
experience and primed him for the next phase of his
evolution.
In the year 2004, a new chapter opened as Citi's
operations center in India welcomed Karthik to its
ranks. "This juncture marked a pivotal juncture," he
reminisces, "I found myself at the heart of the mortgage
space, steering a team that contributed to the sector's
evolution." Fate had more in store, as the captive unit
transitioned to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS),
initiating a new chapter of growth and opportunities.
13. Transcending borders, Karthik's story took him
to the United States. Armed with a potent blend
of domain expertise and reverence for
technology, he embarked on reshaping TCS's
trajectory, propelling them to the forefront of
the mortgage industry. "Embracing change was
paramount," he states, "and it was a journey
fuelled by innovation and adaptation.”
For nearly two decades, Karthik's voyage was
intertwined with TCS, a chapter laden with
experiences that would shape his future. Then,
in 2022, an exciting new endeavor beckoned.
"Joining LendArch's leadership was a natural
progression," he reveals with enthusiasm. As EVP
and COO, he envisions steering this niche
provider in the Retail Mortgage domain towards
groundbreaking solutions that empower both
lenders and borrowers.
In the Trenches
One constant thing in corporate life is that it is
full of challenges. Leaders face these challenges
every day and in every way.
The goal is to
revolutionize the
mortgage lending
landscape," he asserts,
"ushering the industry
into the modern era.
14. Throughout the various phases of transitioning
between roles in corporate life as Karthik moved from
ERP to Banking, then to BPO, Technology and Fintech,
he faced some specific challenges that have helped him
develop into the leader he is today, including the
following:
Ÿ Figuring out how to build relationships while
navigating an ever-changing economic landscape.
Ÿ Appreciating the significance of taking an audience-
centered approach to presentations.
Ÿ Gaining domain knowledge so he could lead by
example.
Ÿ Embracing continually evolving technologies and
continuous learning to understand the best ways to
leverage those technologies in my industry.
Karthik says, "Fortunately, I did not face any of these
challenges alone. I was lucky to have amazing mentors
throughout my career who gave me advice when I
encountered a challenge and helped me figure out the best
way to lead through each one." He credits his mentors,
Tripti, Arun, Sandip and Krithi, for their instrumental
roles in helping Karthik get to the heights he has
reached today.
Rewritten the Mortgage Industry's Rulebook
Karthik's career has been marked by his leadership in
driving various business optimization endeavors, a
spectrum encompassing Six Sigma initiatives to
intricate, multi-tiered technological transformations.
Unlike some peers in the mortgage sector who fixate on
monetary outcomes, Karthik's focus revolves around
the tangible value his initiatives inject into workflows,
processes, technological landscapes and financial
statements.
His affinity for technology, evident from the inception
of his professional journey, has been a driving force. As
he assumes his role at LendArch, his innovation takes
center stage in addressing outdated financial
methodologies and procedures. He is confronting head-
on a mortgage workflow entrenched in the excessive
use of electronically stored yet underutilized
documents. "The goal is to revolutionize the mortgage
lending landscape," he asserts, "ushering the industry into
the modern era." The aim is to expedite the path to new
homes or refined financial agreements for
homeowners, bypassing needless expenses, paperwork
bottlenecks and unwarranted delays.
From Spark to Blaze
Karthik has found four methodologies that are
essential for contributing to new growth opportunities:
Ÿ Microservices: This is critical in strategic digital
transformation for allowing financial institutions to
change specific parts of an application without
worrying about how that change or update will
affect the entire app. Also, a microservice
architecture allows for easy scaling, so all
companies can add on as they grow and evolve.
Ÿ Embracing an API economy: APIs are essential for
integrating software platforms and their data to
create customized solutions for growing businesses.
Ÿ Eliminating sticky contracts: Clients need
flexibility! Not tying clients to sticky contracts that
lack exit and scalability choices is an essential
methodology for growth.
Ÿ Prioritizing data over documents: When it comes to
originating mortgage loans, it's time to prioritize
data, not documents. This is a critical methodology
that will help financial institutions grow their
mortgage departments in record time.
The excitement stems
from the prospect of
catalyzing change that
will resonate for years
to come.

17. From Idea to Institution
LendArch's agenda is simple; redefining digital
mortgages. Built on a vast base of domain expertise in
the mortgage and technology industries, LendArch
aspires to positively disrupt how home loans are
originated. The technology being built behind the
curtain will fundamentally change the loan fulfillment
process for borrowers and lenders alike. Lenders will
see noticeable improvements in their metrics, while
borrowers will migrate from a cumbersome and
document-heavy encounter to a one-click, intuitive
experience.
The current marketplace is flooded with great products
and services that are either the latest in technology OR
the best in product offerings; it is rare to see the "Or"
become "And." The foundation pillar of LendArch is to
be the most current AND the best mortgage lending
technology.
Decoding the Digital Puzzle
There's no question that technology is an essential part
of one's everyday existence. As Bill Gates said, "The
advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that
you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life."
Microservice architecture has only been leveraged at a
shallow level–the best is yet to come. LendArch is ready
to launch a first-of-its-kind Digital Fulfillment System™
called Nebuloan, which will revolutionize how
mortgages are processed and quickly fit into the
lending process to the point that it's part of everyday
life.
Mortgages 2.0
The next change in this industry would be finding a
vaccine for the documentation plague. Every year,
lenders waste millions of hours and dollars extracting
information from documents and converting them into
tangible and actionable data. LendArch is spearheading
a digitally native transformation for the mortgage
industry that will solve the document crisis lenders
face.
What are your goals in the upcoming future?
With unwavering determination, Karthik's mission
stands crystal clear; to streamline the convoluted
mortgage lending process and eradicate the ceaseless
labyrinth of documentation that has long plagued the
industry.
His fervor lies in being an integral cog in the intricate
machinery of digital transformation, poised to reshape
the landscape for borrowers and lenders alike. "The
excitement stems from the prospect of catalyzing change
that will resonate for years to come," he affirms, an
architect of progress poised to leave an indelible mark.
Bequeathing Wisdom
Karthik's extensive journey has bestowed upon him a
treasure trove of valuable insights. These pearls of
wisdom hold immense significance for aspiring business
leaders, encapsulating his accumulated wisdom:
Ÿ Be a specialist rather than a generalist; find your
passion early and follow it through.
Ÿ Don't hesitate to try; failure is the best teacher.
Ÿ Find the right leaders to be your mentors; they will
add value to your experience and provide lifelong
lessons.
Be a specialist rather
than a generalist; find
your passion early and
follow it through.
19. What You Need to Know
According to the reports by the New York Fed's Center
for Microeconomic Data, the largest form of household
debt, mortgage, grew only by $121 million after 2022.
This was because of the deadly pandemic and homeowners
who refinanced their properties in 2020-21 received several
benefits from their decisions.
The mortgage refinancing boom is a phenomenon that has
been sweeping the housing market in recent years. With
historically low-interest rates and changing economic
conditions, homeowners across the United States are taking
advantage of opportunities to refinance their mortgages. In
this article, we will delve into the elements driving this boom,
supported by statistics and real-life examples.
Record Low-interest Rates
One of the primary drivers of the mortgage refinancing
boom is the historically low-interest rates that have
prevailed in the U.S. mortgage market. As per the
statistics in September 2021, mortgage rates were near all-
time lows. However, checking the current rates is important for
the most accurate information.
Statistics: According to Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed
mortgage rate was at 2.78% in July 2021, down significantly
from the 3.75% average in July 2019.
Lower interest rates translate into reduced monthly mortgage
payments, which can free up valuable cash for homeowners.
Additionally, the lower rates can also significantly reduce the
overall interest paid over the life of the loan. As a result,
homeowners are flocking to refinance their mortgages to take
advantage of these favorable terms.
Home Equity Growth
Another element contributing to the refinancing boom is the
rapid increase in home values. As home prices rise,
homeowners often find themselves with more equity in their
homes, making it easier to refinance their mortgages and
potentially access better terms.
Statistics: According to the National Association of Realtors,
the median existing-home price increased by 22.9% year-over-
year in June 2021.
This surge in equity release has implications for homeowners'
financial portfolios, as it can diversify their investments and
provide funds for various purposes, such as funding education,
starting a business, or preparing for retirement.

20. However, it's essential for homeowners to consider the
long-term consequences of tapping into their home
equity, as it may impact their ability to meet future
financial goals.
Cash-out Refinancing
Cash-out refinancing is a type of mortgage refinance
where homeowners borrow more than their current
loan balance and receive the difference in cash. This
approach is popular among homeowners who want to
tap into their home's equity for various financial needs.
Statistics: According to a report by Black Knight, in the
second quarter of 2021, homeowners cashed out a
total of $63.8 billion in home equity, a 42% increase
from the previous year.
The appeal of cash-out refinancing lies in its potential
to provide homeowners with immediate access to a
significant amount of cash without taking on additional
debt. However, it's essential for homeowners to weigh
the benefits against the risks, as it effectively increases
the overall loan amount and can lead to higher monthly
payments in some cases.
Government Initiatives
Government initiatives and programs have played a
significant role in fueling the mortgage refinancing
boom. The Federal Reserve's commitment to low-
interest rates and various government-backed
programs has made it more attractive and accessible
for homeowners to refinance their mortgages.
Statistics: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)
extended the Home Affordable Refinance Program
(HARP) through December 31, 2021, to help
homeowners with loans backed by Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac take advantage of low-interest rates.
Digital Mortgage Technology
The rise of digital mortgage technology has streamlined
the refinancing process, making it quicker and more
efficient for homeowners. Online platforms and
mortgage apps have simplified the application and
approval process, allowing borrowers to complete
much of the paperwork electronically. They can now
apply for refinancing, upload required document and
track the progress of their applications from the
comfort of their homes.
Statistics: A report by Ellie Mae revealed that 66% of
closed loans in 2020 used digital closing solutions, up
from 53% in 2019.
Furthermore, the availability of online mortgage
calculators and comparison tools empowers
homeowners to explore different refinancing scenarios
and make informed decisions about their loans. These
digital tools have simplified the complex world of
mortgage finance, enabling homeowners to navigate
the process more confidently and efficiently.
Debt Consolidation
Many homeowners are using mortgage refinancing as a
strategic tool for debt consolidation. By combining
high-interest debts such as credit cards and personal
loans into a lower-interest mortgage, homeowners can
reduce their overall monthly debt payments.
Statistics: According to data from Experian, in 2020, the
average American had $5,897 in credit card debt.
Refinancing can be an effective way to consolidate and
pay down such debts.
This strategy can help homeowners reduce their overall
interest expenses, improve their credit scores by
reducing high credit card balances and gain better
control over their finances. However, it's crucial for
individuals to exercise discipline and avoid
accumulating new debt after consolidating to ensure
long-term financial success.
Conclusion
The mortgage refinancing boom is a multifaceted
phenomenon driven by low-interest rates, rising home
equity, government initiatives, digital technology, and
financial strategies such as cash-out refinancing and
debt consolidation. Homeowners across the United
States are capitalizing on these elements to secure
better mortgage terms, lower their monthly payments
and achieve various financial goals. While the boom
may have evolved since my last update in September
2021, these fundamental elements continue to shape
the mortgage refinancing landscape, offering
homeowners opportunities to enhance their financial
well-being.

24. TheGreen
Mortgage
Revolution
n an era marked by growing environmental
Iconsciousness and a pressing need to combat
climate change, the world is witnessing a
remarkable transformation in various sectors. One
such transformation is taking place in the realm of real
estate and homeownership through what is being
hailed as the "Green Mortgage Revolution." This
groundbreaking shift in the mortgage industry is not
only reshaping the way people buy and finance homes
but is also contributing significantly to global
sustainability efforts.
If a home buyer can show that the property for which
they are borrowing complies with specific
environmental criteria, a bank or mortgage lender will
provide them favorable terms. This might be a newly
constructed home that already has a sustainability
rating or a building that the borrower agrees to invest
in upgrading to increase its environmental efficiency. In
other terms, a green mortgage is a loan that is intended
only for green structures. In this article, we will explore
the concept of green mortgages, their benefits and
their potential to drive positive change in the housing
market and beyond.
What Are Green Mortgages?
Green mortgages are a relatively recent innovation in
the world of home financing. At their core, they are a
type of mortgage loan that incentivizes
environmentally responsible choices for homebuyers.
These choices can include purchasing energy-efficient
homes, implementing energy-saving improvements or
investing in renewable energy sources. The underlying
principle is to reward borrowers who commit to
reducing their carbon footprint and lowering their
home's energy consumption.
Key Features of Green Mortgages
Lower Interest Rates: Perhaps the most attractive
feature of green mortgages is the potential for lower
interest rates. Lenders typically offer reduced rates to
borrowers who buy or improve energy-efficient homes.
This can result in significant long-term savings for
homeowners.
Energy Efficiency Requirements: To qualify for a green
mortgage, borrowers may be required to meet certain
energy efficiency standards. These standards vary by
lender and region but often involve obtaining an energy
performance certificate (EPC) that assesses a home's
energy efficiency.
Funding for Green Home Improvements: Some green
mortgages provide additional funds for energy-efficient
home improvements. This allows borrowers to make
upgrades like installing solar panels, upgrading
insulation or replacing outdated appliances, all of which
can contribute to lower energy bills.
Environmental Benefits: Green mortgages align with
global efforts to combat climate change. By promoting
energy-efficient homes and reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, they play a vital role in mitigating
environmental impacts associated with
homeownership.
www.ciolook.com | September2023 |

26. Benefits of Green Mortgages
Cost Savings: One of the primary advantages of green
mortgages is the potential for cost savings.
Homeowners can enjoy reduced monthly utility bills
due to improved energy efficiency, and the lower
interest rates on these loans translate into significant
long-term financial benefits.
Environmental Impact: Green mortgages help reduce
carbon emissions by promoting energy-efficient homes.
As more people opt for sustainable housing, the
collective environmental impact becomes substantial,
contributing to a greener future for the planet.
Market Value Increase: Energy-efficient homes often
have higher market values. As energy costs continue to
rise, prospective buyers are increasingly drawn to
homes with low operating costs, making green homes
more desirable and potentially more profitable for
sellers.
Government Support: Many governments worldwide are
offering incentives and tax credits to encourage the
adoption of green mortgages and energy-efficient
homes. These incentives can further offset the initial
costs associated with green housing.
Health and Comfort: Green homes are often more
comfortable and healthier living environments.
Improved insulation and ventilation can result in better
indoor air quality and overall well-being for residents.
Long-term Sustainability: Green mortgages are an
integral part of building a sustainable future. By
promoting energy-efficient practices, they contribute
to long-term sustainability, aligning with global climate
goals.
Challenges and Considerations
While green mortgages offer numerous benefits, they
are not without their challenges and considerations:
Upfront Costs: Energy-efficient upgrades and green
home purchases may require higher initial investments.
However, the long-term savings and potential for
reduced interest rates often offset these costs.
Qualification Criteria: Meeting the energy efficiency
requirements to qualify for a green mortgage may limit
the pool of eligible borrowers. It's essential to
understand and plan for these criteria when
considering such a loan.
Limited Availability: Green mortgages are not yet
available everywhere, and their terms and availability
vary by region. As the demand for sustainable housing
grows, it is expected that these offerings will become
more widespread.
Education and Awareness: Many potential borrowers
may not be aware of green mortgage options or their
benefits. Raising awareness and educating consumers
about these opportunities is crucial to their widespread
adoption.
The Future of Green Mortgages
The Green Mortgage Revolution is poised to shape the
future of homeownership and contribute significantly
to global sustainability efforts. As demand for
sustainable housing grows, we can expect an expansion
of green mortgage products offered by an increasing
number of lenders. This will provide more choices for
borrowers and further incentivize energy-efficient
homeownership. Moreover, governments worldwide
are likely to continue offering incentives and tax credits
to promote green mortgages and energy-efficient
housing. These incentives will make green
homeownership even more attractive and accessible.
