Persona Power: Build Products Your Customers Love
Dive deep into customer minds. Build products that fuel product love. Boost your business plan.
Description
WHY IS THIS COURSE IMPORTANT?
Very often products and services are designed and launched into the market based on a guess who the customer is and what value the organization's product to that customer. Most often this leads to failure.
Ditch guesswork, build passion! Master personas to know your customers inside out. Map their lives, uncover desires, and spark groundbreaking product ideas. Learn storyboarding, insights tools, and innovation strategies. Build products they'll love, not just tolerate.
This Course includes the following topics:
Drafting personas with business and healthcare examples
Storyboarding techniques
Deriving customer insights
Tools for perceptual gap maps. Kano models and conjoint analysis
Picking the right feature set (feature fatigue and endowment effect)
Filling Out the 2nd (of 6) Tab of the Business Plan.

WHAT IS YOUR TEACHING STYLE?
My teaching style is a very pragmatic one. I assume you know nothing about this topic and start with the foundation and build from there. Some of these concepts could be challenging, so I sprinkle in as many examples as I can, both non-healthcare and healthcare, to ensure complete understanding of the topic.
WHY ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO TEACH THIS COURSE?
I spent 35 years in the designing and launching of medical imaging products and services. My career evolved from leading engineering teams, to becoming VP Marketing and then to president of a Healthcare IT firm. It is also based on 15 years of teaching in several University MBA Programs.
