Customer Obsessed Design for Product Management
Customer Obsessed Design
About the Program
Why do people love their Dyson vacuums more than their Dustbusters? How did Salesforce quadruple average contract value for key clients while dramatically improving customer satisfaction? How did Airbnb advance from an inflatable bed in the founder’s apartment in 2007 to a $100B valuation in 2020, during a pandemic? In Customer Obsessed Design for Product Management, the people who make stories like these possible will show you exactly how they do it.
It’s more than just paying attention to your customers. It is an obsession with understanding your customers’ needs.
Using the tools of customer-centric design, ethnography and storytelling, you will learn how to conduct successful customer and user interviews, extract important customer insights from those interviews, share those insights with key stakeholders in your company, and galvanize action around those insights. You will learn how transformative customer experiences are created.
