Join us on Monday, September 26 at 6pm to meet the China-based business strategist, thought leader, and author of the book "From Customer to User", Jacob Johansen, sharing his highly inspiring and thought-provoking keynote speech on how companies can better reach their transformative goals by applying a new user-centric and consequent outside-in perspective.
Many transformation journeys start from an inside-out perspective - the needs of the company and the organization drive the change. But an inside-out perspective works like crawling into a tunnel; the deeper you get, the narrower your outlook on the world and the opportunities - the more dominant the inside-out perspective, the more limited the view.
Jacob Johansen believes companies must adopt a new perspective and explore opportunities and transformation in business from an outside-in perspective.
He will introduce a new perspective enabling businesses to:
- innovate products and services that fulfill the market's needs instead of the convenience of a production line or an organization
- create the suitable condition for transformation
- minimize uncertainty from strategizing and decision-making
- direct technology to support business growth instead of having technology force-led the company.
