Get to know your users !  Objective of the exercise !  To understand who uses the site and why !  To understand what would motivate users

to use our offering !  Uses !  A good understanding of the potential

motivations !   Online surveys

!   Collect more data !   Review of existing market research

!   Leverage existing knowledge within the organisation

Customer Driven Development

!  Understanding what customers want to evolving product around it

!  When you see an reaction from you customers, keep digging – your onto something good.

Learning

!  Continuous Improvement

!  Single and Double loop !  What to build next?

Learning as “the detection and correction of error” where an error is a mismatch between what was intended and what was produced.

Single Loop Learning

Results (What We Get)

Action Strategies (What We Do)

Our Approach (Why We Do)

Double loop learning

- requires changing the values and revisit what governs theory-in-use

change view of what we are doing

Single Vs. Double Loop Learning

Our Approach (Why We Do)

Learning

!  Don’t waste your failures

!  Its not the FAILURE that we should celebrate but the LEARNING that ensues
