DESCRIPTION
In the world of innovation, where the aim is to develop what is new, it is not easy to explore the customer’s needs and wishes. The major problem we face with something new is that the customer can not easily express what he really wishes or would like. For that, it is necessary to introduce a new type of tools more suitable to understand the client in depth.
In this self-learning module, the participants will learn why traditional tools for market research show their limitations when it comes to innovations. The will also know some of the latest tools that are most appropriate for the dialogue with customers in innovative and creative environments. Finally, they will know how to combine tools to achieve the main objective: to find out new opportunities that cannot be showed by the client in traditional interviews.
