Customer Intelligence Assessment Workshop
Welcome to our Customer Intelligence Assessment Workshop!
In a world where data makes the difference between success and failure, understanding your customers is the ultimate superpower. Take the first step and assess your collective customer intelligence. Use six dimensions to capture your organizational wisdom.
During this remote workshop, we’ll establish your target audiences and assess your main customer group.
This workshop also uncovers potential knowledge gaps, raises your awareness of misconceptions, and lays the foundation for future benchmarking efforts.
Interesting fact: According to our analysis, without targeted customer discovery, biases and blind spots of providers of products and services are significant:
-
up to 90% of customer decision factors are unknown,
-
up to 81% of assumptions of providers cannot be validated,
-
on average, only 30% of provider assumptions can be confirmed.
Workshop Focus
We dive deep into six critical dimensions, each revealing a facet of your customer's ability to making progress in life or business:
- Jobs-to-Be-Done: The core tasks and goals your customers want to achieve.
- Pains and Gains: The emotional landscape—what keeps them up at night and what lights their fire.
- Triggering Events: Pivotal moments that nudge them toward action.
- Constraints: Limitations, hurdles, and roadblocks in their path to progress.
- Solutions “Hired”: The tools, products, or services they enlist to conquer challenges.
During a hands-on workshop, we will create your body of knowledge in a visual format.
