The living avatar

Enabling the living avatar

Diving deep into human, technological, and sociological factors across our customer base provides a foundation for establishing the following:

  • An organizational-wide understanding of the nuanced set of consumers who make up the addressable market and active customers
  • A shared reference for understanding where to prioritize adapting product, services, and communications to most effectively and efficiently serve customers
  • A model for focusing research and information gathering toward providing the most effective product, service, and communications insights beyond what is covered by best practices
  • Ultimately, the foundation for developing a centralized avatar model where:
    • Each organizational unit can contribute customer data that will impact consumer understanding
    • Variable facets across human, technological, and sociological factors may be quickly and subtly related, compared, and shifted to bring nuance and dimension to our understanding of the customer.
    • We can move beyond the persona and towards a nuanced, "living avatar" that is regularly updated with the latest customer insights

Now, let's look at the detailed facets of:

  • Human factors
  • Technological factors
  • Sociological factors
