Description
Organisations struggle to make the best decisions as they have a host of deeply-held assumptions about their customers.
This naturally leads to:
Multiple moments throughout the customer journey where the organisation doesn’t meet the customer’s goals
Disagreement amongst stakeholders about what the customer actually wants
Awkwardness around prioritising what matters the most to the customer
This course will teach you how to go about creating that insight and how to put it into practice.
Avoiding the persona trap
Don’t make the mistake creating hypothetical personas. They don’t provide permission for change, as they’re simply made up. Without the depth of trusted insight, your stakeholders can and will ignore you.
Conducting research properly can be a time consuming exercise, but a rewarding one. But this is only a quarter of the story. Simply executing your research and issuing profiles will most likely lead to business as usual.
You need to concentrate on changing hearts and minds and know how to mitigate against the numerous risks. This course has been specifically created to address the effectiveness of developing and implementing profiles.
