主讲主题：Innovating Through Customer Insights

主讲内容：

Emotional and aspirational based issues are becoming more important for brands competing in mature categories, where technical breakthroughs are often harder to achieve. Todays’ innovative companies are those who are finding the most compelling way to connect with consumers on an emotional basis (Knight 2008).

Professor Simon Bolton will share his recent experiences of innovating through customer insights with leading global brands such as Procter and Gamble, Nokia and Braun.

His talk will explore four themes: (1) Why Insights Important; (2) What are Insights; (3) How insights are collected and (4) How Insights are Decoded.

He will conclude his talk by sharing a series of case studies that bring to life the use of customer insights to innovating in three different scenarios.
