customer focused

How many of these

firms’ customers agree

that they deliver a

superior experience? 8%

Businesses THINK they do this

but they DON’T

stakeholder group present special

challenges to a BA

Their context is open,

fuzzy, multi-faceted

and complex

Sensemaking

20

Solution defining starts with divergent thinking.

…most of which will be wrong – and that’s ok.

It will enable learning.

But where do the insights come from?

early research with customers and inside the business’ Systems will yield loads of data.

Visualised.

Problems will be identified.

Look for insights, patterns, groupings, etc…

Waiting for Malcom Gladwell BLINK-style flashes of inspiration.

This can be uncomfortable for Bas.

this is the process that led to insights about CONTROL for Virgin.

This is the process that led to insights about ‘lifestyle choices’ for Pfizer re: the nicotine patch.

People expect more control…

Context, you can get it

Customers…

don’t always do what you think they do

don’t always do what you tell them to do

don’t always do what they think they do

don’t always do what they say they do

How is this possibly new?

David Tunnicliffe, Arnold & Bolingbroke 2008

Here’s his famous quote:

“You can't just ask customers what they

want and then try to give that to them. By

the time you get it built, they'll want

something new."

49

but what I am saying is that humans

do not understand their own needs

and motivations deeply enough to

communicate them effectively.”

“I am not saying that there is lack of

opinion, everyone has one of those,

Here’s his other quote:

50

They don’t want what

they say

51

“ ”

I gave them everything they

asked for, and they’re still

not happy

More chocolatey? Less chocolatey? Thicker? Thinner? Sweeter? Colder? Bigger? Healthier?

Not knowing what they want

asking

what lets you play with certain parameters:

54

Ask different

questions:

What is the JOB the

feature is

performing?

55

Changing context

What JOB is it doing? Does that context change?

asking

why can provide different understanding…

and can open up new possibilities

for unlocking value:

56

The customer is

situational –

Requirements can

change with context

57

When defining

‘personas’, be aware

that context might

yield more than one

persona per

individual

58

Sometimes

customers can not be

specific

think like normal

like normal people

– MORE like

INTUITIVE RATIONAL

“Does it feel right?”

“WHY THIS, and

is it doable?”

1st take what FEELS right (INTUITIVE)

Then INTERROGATE it against constraints, impact, feasibility.

ITERATE between analysis, synthesis, intuition, metrics….

“Hmmmm. what if?”

124

Your job –

3 lenses

What they want – The hard, unfamiliar one

Great value Constraints Traceability – impact, coverage

Afterwards – good Up-front – great You can save a project here

SOLUTION LENSES

126

NOTION – TREND – more channels more

complication More channels – more ways to go wrong.

Think about your email filing.

Creating taxonomically satisfying filing system isn’t the same as making your email easy to find.

All your nested folders etc… just creates more places that mail might NOT BE!

Gmail – one folder, great search

Similarly, just because you CAN make an iphone ap, a phone contact capability, live-chat customer service, interactive web site, facebook profile, Google Plus presence, Twitter contact and iPad and android microsites doesn’t mean you should….

UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED FOR THE RESULTING LOGARITHMIC INCREASE IN INTERNAL COMPLICATION
