WHY THIS TALK ?

ON DIFFERENTIATION
MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE CUSTOMER.
A differentiator has to make sense.
It has to simplify a decision by offering choice based on our
experiences, in a frame of reference that matters to us.

ON DIFFERENTIATION
‚OPEN‘ GIVES NO CLUE ABOUT THE PRODUCT.
A differentiator should not ad to the confusion.

ON DIFFERENTIATION
‚OPEN‘ IS NO VALUE PROPOSITION OR QUALITY STATEMENT.
Why would an IT manager decide for or against ‚open‘ when
he evaluates potential solutions for a specific challenge?

DO YOU KNOW YOUR TARGET GROUP ?
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR MY TARGET, I NEED TO SHIFT MY PERSPECTIVE.
When we even fail to always find the right
present for our loved ones, how can we
assume, we always know what a target group
wants, a bunch of strangers outlined by
statistics?

WHAT IS A BENEFIT THAT MATTERS ?
Hey,
it’s open,
you can access it’s
source code and
customize it!
This does not look like
Windows, I don‘t like that.
? (*call IT if we need to buy
locks*)
And how does this help me? Cases? Specs? Experience? I have no time and skill for coding! Proprietary gear? Cost?

I WANT TO EMPHASIZE
MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS A SOLUTION,
don‘t introduce differentiators
that do not matter to customers.
CHARGE YOUR PRODUCT WITH TANGIBLE BENEFITS FOR THE PEOPLE,
don‘t be didactic about your product.
