    Moving and learning quickly is a key skill for success of any kind, but it holds especially true in the world of technology. Where any move can be both costly and time intensive, getting into the habit of frequently running experiments is vital. However, sometimes it can be hard to break down a larger goal or strategy to the individual “tests”, and the same the other way around. How does a test contribute to the larger vision? I discuss this in today’s episode.

A flow is essentially a sequence of steps they must complete to achieve a certain outcome. Tune in to learn what these flows are, which are vital to test, and how you can easily sketch out concepts to user test them.

    In this episode of Cutting Through Tech we talk about the heart of any good product, service, or offering: customers. You want to work towards creating tailored-made products that hit the market place with confidence. Whilst it’s important to know why you’re investing in a project and what you expect to get out of it, what shape the product eventually takes on is largely determined by your target audience and their needs.

    If you have any questions at all, you can always email me on [email protected]

    In this episode of Cutting Through Tech we talk about getting clear on why building certain technical assets are important for your business. Just like any other project, you want to put a new proposal to the test, and get extremely clear on the parameters in which to implement it into your strategy. I also go through a few example business models that would have very different view points on what technology they would want to adopt or create. Even though businesses might, on the outside, have a lot in common, their models could result in very different product briefs. 

    As mentioned, my goal for you is to get a clearer picture of how technology can fit in your business. For our podcast listeners, we offer complimentary strategy sessions, which you are able to book here. They take around 15 to 30 minutes and can help you dream big, get an idea of what might be holding you back currently, and what’s possible for your business.
