The Pitfalls of Customer-Led Innovation
Relying on customer input to guide innovation is not all it's cracked up to be.
We had a panel discussion a couple of days ago as part of the launch event for my new book, Innovation X, that looked at the topic of how doing customer research can lead you astray when doing innovation. It was a lively panel, including Don Norman, Eric Ryan (co-founder of Method Home), Jon Pitmann (VP at Autodesk), and Quentin Hardy (National Editor, Forbes) moderating, in addition to myself.
I gave a brief presentation to talk about the book and some common traps that companies fall into when using customer research to guide innovation. Here's a Slideshare version of it with some extra annotation to make it easier to follow without the voiceover.
