Case Study
Applying Consumer Framework to Developing New Business Ventures
SRIC-BI assisted the development group of a wireless telecommunications company to develop and apply a consumer framework identifying new business ventures for the company. Initially, SRIC-BI created an innovative consumer framework for use throughout the organization when developing new concepts. The framework was designed to:
- Assist in the identification of new ideas
- Be a common language about future consumers needs and behavior
- Provide evaluation criteria.
SRIC-BI then assisted in the implementation of the framework throughout the company and acted as a facilitator in the use of the framework on a number of new business venture initiatives. |
