6-time ProductCamp award winner David Eckoff returns with all new material and a brand new session, to help you change how you think and change your results.
This session tackles one of the biggest problems we all face in product development. When it comes to thinking about your products and customers, you might not be connected to reality. Simply put, our brains have evolved over millions of years to unconsciously look for shortcuts to help us make decisions. That has upside: we’re able to deal with information overload and make split-second decisions. But these hardwired shortcuts can distort how we think about our world, leading to decisions that seem right at the time but turn out to be spectacularly wrong. This creates big problems for product teams.
In this all new session, you’ll learn a practical set of actions you can follow right now to outsmart cognitive biases in product development.
► Discover why smart, experienced people build products that people don’t buy and use.
► Understand the hidden cognitive biases that are hardwired in our brains.
► Discover powerful techniques to overcome these cognitive biases.
► Learn simple but non-obvious hacks you’ll love.
You’ll experience a fast-moving hands-on program led by a product guy who has done it himself – and is dedicated to teaching you. For product managers, product marketers and startup founders in companies of all sizes.
