In this session, Michael Giotis will present a proven framework for understanding what people truly need. Products and services designed for needs and not just wants are more resilient to changing markets and consumer tastes.
After presenting evidence to support the existence of Fundamental Human Needs, we will:
• Examine market examples as a group
• Apply the approach in pairs to practice creating market resilient products and services that the world really needs.
