Talk At TedX Port Of Spain: Driving Innovation By Understanding Real People

BY ELIOT SALANDY BROWN

ReD Associates Partner Eliot Salandy Brown explores the gaps between the assumptions big businesses make about consumers and the reality of what we (real people) actually think, do, and need. 

Three cases from different industries highlight the costly errors companies make based on shallow market research rather than a rich understanding of real people. He argues that advanced research techniques derived from Applied Business Anthropology have the power to reveal truths about people’s lives, dreams, and needs that focus companies’ innovation on what really matters to real people.
