Here's what we've been up to recently
We’re driving new product development insights for a leading manufacturer of kitchen appliances using a long term multi market community of 10,000 foodies
The Big Question:How can we ensure the success of a new ‘design led’ breakfast set (that’s a kettle and toaster combo to you and me)?
The Approach: Iteration here was key. We started by screening 10 concepts monadically to whittle it down to 3, and ran a forum alongside it to understand reactions to innovative but unusual use of materials. More concept testing surveys and forums ranked the new ideas and helped to suggest improvements. Later on, a TURF analysis defined the ultimate colour combinations for maximum reach.
The Impact: 3 happy groups of stakeholders! Innovation engineers took 10 ideas down to 3, the product development team refined it and then the marketing team chose a fitting logo. Finished product due to be launched in September 2017
And one more thing...This client has no insight team. Vision Critical are the research lynch pin; working directly with stakeholder groups to show them how insight can help their department. Creative delivery and internal PR events bring the community to life. Recently, we've featured stat bombs attached to community branded cup cakes, and learning to make dim sum with customers.
How we are helping a global telecoms brand ‘test and learn’ throughout proposition trials to improve their offer with a community of technological early adopters.
The Big Question: To what extent is a new insurance bundle and its elements fit for purpose?
The Approach: An agile community approach allowed our client to test multiple elements of the proposition iteratively, learning and adapting at each stage. On this particular occasion we combined usage and attitudes surveys, remote UX testing, tracking surveys and forums to capture feedback on the ongoing usage trial which lasted 4 weeks.
The Impact: The proposition was simplified by dropping an unpopular element of the bundle, allowing the client to mitigate the cost of launching something that wouldn’t resonate in the market. Furthermore, through an in depth understanding of perceived strengths, we were able to guide the proposition messaging.
And one more thing…With three Vision Critical communities and a fourth on the way, this client is embedding agile insight into all areas of their business
