Leverage Their Brilliance – Using Consumer Intuition to Power Your Innovation Process
Does your company ever wonder if your innovation research is truly tapping into all the potential intuitions of consumers? How do you find those truly “product brilliant” consumers whose insights and ideas can really be leveraged into product or service development?
Quester has partnered with friend and industry expert, Bob Woodard, to explore the importance of innovation research that goes beyond consumer profiling, through a mixed methodology case study. The case study explores perceptions of Health and Wellness from the point of view of the younger generation, through over 600 in-depth interviews with participants in the following age groups: 16-18,19-24 and 25-30.
A customer-driven innovation strategy is based upon understanding both the obvious and latent needs of consumers and having the confidence to take the creative leap to product development. Having good instincts is not enough. Early-stage innovations research is the foundation for a successful innovation strategy. By integrating observational methodologies such as ethnographies and focus groups with larger scale research to dive deeper into consumer insights, you will uncover the vast intuition of your consumers that you can then move down the innovation funnel.

- How the synergy of multiple methodologies can help you make the creative leap
- How you can talk to consumers who are often difficult to reach to leverage their brilliance
- How you can add value to your innovation work to give you the confidence that you are uncovering all the great ideas
