How will we know if a trigger occurs?

control

What is the priority of actions?
• Which triggers take priority? Which actions?
• These make up the “business rules.”
Michael Caine as Alfred in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy
Am I just in love with Caine?
Jan 2014 Amazon submitted a patent to ship packages before they’re ordered
Google Now combines appt in calendar + details in an email + GPS address + maps
Amazon knows I watched and enjoyed 30 rock, so it (correctly) suspects I might like The Guild.
In theater it’s said the best lighting design is the one you don’t notice.
Similarly, this error message doesn’t seem so amazing, but what other error message is that specific? Suggests something to DO instead of just “wrong username”
The client was in the insurance industry, trying to create a “wow” experience
The steps we took [research – design – implementation]
Research then created a strategy
14 stakeholders
What was their goal?
A better site and landing page, something members would find useful
We invited members to our office
Wrote love letters/breakup letters
Designed their perfect experience on the site
The members started talking about “Siri for insurance!”
Anticipate their needs
Easier said than done.
Full day workshops w/client
260 actions
5 triggers per action (example: trigger = looked at tractors)
We could only track ¼ of the triggers (can’t track what they did in person or at home)
Prioritized them
Hang onto the unfeasible items
Identify the level of effort
Identify the priorities
What happens if there’s no trigger?
Build a journey: trigger means X happens. How many items appear at once? How frequently? Make it feel “human.”
