Time: 15:00-16:00 CET (09:00-10:00 EST)

Developing a new winning product is like exploring uncharted wilderness without a map. But armed with a roadmap, you can blaze a trail to success, navigate unexplored territory, and discover untapped opportunities along the way.

Just like a roadmap can help you find your way in unfamiliar land, companies need a tool to navigate the complex landscape of customer needs. Customers aren't always great at expressing what they want, so you need to figure out their latent needs.

To make a splash in the market, companies need to do more than just meet their customers' existing needs. They need to dig deeper and uncover hidden needs that customers don't even know they have.

That's where Voice of the Product (VOP) comes in handy. VOP is a powerful tool within TRIZ that can help companies identify the sweet spot for innovation. While the familiar Voice of the Customer (VOC) approach relies on gathering feedback directly from customers, VOP takes a complementary approach. By analyzing the product itself, VOP can uncover unmet customer needs that may not be readily apparent. By utilizing various analytical techniques, VOP can reveal latent needs that are ripe for innovation and help companies stay ahead of the curve.

So, join us for this webinar to learn how to build products that your customers actually want. Using examples from TRIZ-inspired portfolio of market winners, we’ll demonstrate how innovation is a science, not an art.
