About the talk
New research introduced here will challenge the calcified assumptions about how we approach our understanding of customers. We must understand our customers as people with real behaviors, emotions, motivations, and goals; consequently, we must also recognize that our customer research has to have a common business objective and a coordinated and complementary sets of methods across the whole organization. Take back practical solutions to:
Understand the person, not the “shopper” or the “user” through market segmentation, surveys, interviews, transactional data mining and field research
Work as a group to break down silos and create a research council across the whole organization
Foster a culture of customer empathy, humility, and cooperation to put the customer first
Leverage customer research to build a more empathic and engaged experience for your customers
