Why do we approach consumers differently than friends?
WIDE REACH
We are trained to think that
in order to reach the most
number of people, we need
to hear from a lot of people.
DATA OVERLOAD
With so much existing
information at our fingertips,
it’s easy to assume the
answer’s already in there.
OLD NEWS
We often think that once
we’ve been at it long enough,
there’s nothing new to know.

QUANTITATIVE
Broad identification of what,
via patterns and trends.
Good for informing where to
start and confirming and
refuting hypotheses.
QUALITATIVE
Deep understanding of why,
via problems, values and needs.
Good for inspiring new
solutions and identifying
“white space” opportunities.

Context helps explain
the inconsistencies
between what people
think, say, and do
Understanding the influence of
different circumstances, like time
of day, uncovers different needs
