Night Shift Serie: Meet Virginia One of Choco's core values is to be 1% better every day. Our team members often work night shifts alongside our suppliers to truly understand their needs and improve our product. This week, we spotlight Virginia Stefanello, our Product Design Lead for Choco AI. No detail escapes her sharp eye, and she’s always asking the right questions to imagine the best flow and build the perfect product with our engineers. Here’s Virginia on the ground with the Goosemoor Foodservice Ltd team, learning firsthand about their operations. Her dedication to understanding every nuance ensures that Choco AI meets the needs of distributors and suppliers in all markets we serve. "What I love most is stepping away from Figma and seeing my designs in action. This is the most rewarding experience for a designer. Working alongside the Goosemoor team during night shifts and becoming a picker myself was incredibly motivating and inspiring. Their dedication and growth highlight our huge opportunity to optimize the supply chain together." We are thankful for the hospitality and the learning opportunity provided by the Goosemoor team. Their impressive business and warm welcome truly inspire us to keep pushing the boundaries. Stay tuned for more stories from our night shift series! #ChocoAI #TeamChoco #1PercentBetterEveryDay #FoodTech #NightShift #ProductDesign #SupplierSuccess #userresearch

"Innovation isn't just about new features; it's about reimagining experiences and solving problems in ways that delight and surprise users." #productmanager #product #thoughtfortheday #productmanagement Lets read Sarah’s success story. Once upon a time in a bustling city, there was a small cafe called "Bean & Brew" known for its cozy atmosphere and excellent coffee. The cafe was managed by Sarah, a passionate product manager with a knack for reimagining customer experiences. One day, Sarah noticed that many customers struggled with finding seating during busy hours, leading to frustration and longer wait times. Determined to solve this problem creatively, she brainstormed innovative solutions. Instead of simply adding more tables or expanding the cafe space, Sarah decided to reimagine the entire seating experience. She introduced a unique concept called "Coffee Nooks"—cozy corners equipped with comfortable seating, personal lamps, and small shelves stocked with books. These nooks were strategically placed throughout the cafe, offering customers a private and inviting space to enjoy their coffee and unwind. To further surprise and delight customers, Sarah collaborated with local artists to decorate the walls with vibrant murals and installed a community bulletin board where guests could share recommendations and stories. The response was overwhelming—customers loved the new Coffee Nooks and the vibrant atmosphere of the cafe. Word spread quickly, attracting more patrons seeking not just great coffee but a unique and memorable experience. Sarah's innovative approach to solving a common problem transformed Bean & Brew into a beloved local hotspot. So what did we learn? True innovation isn't just about adding new features; it's about reimagining the entire customer journey to create moments that delight and surprise, leaving a lasting impression on those who experience it. Post #1 : If you were in Sarah's place instead, what would you have done to solve the problem? #ProductDevelopment #Innovation #UserExperience

Had a delightful time at Soch Cafe yesterday. Met with fantastic individuals from the product community. Yesterday's topic was around 'User Personas', hosted by Sarrah Moiz Here are the key takeaways from the session: -Designing products with specific personas in mind ensures a user-centric approach. - It facilitates effective communication between product managers, designers, developers, and other stakeholders. - Personas help in avoiding assumptions about the user base by providing a clear and documented representation of real users and reduces the risk of building products based on stereotypes or generalizations. - Personas should be dynamic and adaptable, reflecting changes in the user base over time. Regularly revisit and update personas based on new insights and evolving user needs. - Personas are valuable in creating user journey maps, illustrating the user's experience and helps identify pain points and opportunities for improvement in the user experience. Such an insightful discussion! 🌟 Product Soch #SochCafe

Great article put together by Anna Wolfe regarding the technologies being used (and not being used) to address the key issues restaurateurs are facing to keep their businesses thriving. Besides the usual questions in the article around how to use AI and robotics, the main points to success revolve around labor (training/retaining) and customer acquisition, retention and loyalty. That last part, customer acquisition, retention and loyalty is what I do for a living. At Adentro, I help people identify every customer coming into your location(s), identify their personal attributes/habits and help you target your messaging to get the best return on your marketing spend. Please reach out to me if you need to discuss. #hospitalitytechnology #loyalty #loyaltyprograms #loyaltymarketing #roas #onlinemarketing #customerexperiences #customermarketing

CXO at Creative CX: Establishing/Scaling Experimentation & Research practices to drive maximum impact
Just spotted this great example of a “band-aid” or "sticking plaster" solution to a visibility and contrast problem on the self checkout scales ⚖ 🤕 The staff member told me that the yellow tape with a drawn on arrow was stuck on the screen because nobody could see the “PRINT” CTA at the bottom right! Well there’s no surprise there looking at the visibility of the CTA button and the colour contrast issue of the green text on grey background which doesn’t pass WCAG! It’s also a funny solution because until you get to the final screen after manually finding your fruit and veg, the yellow tape and arrow makes no sense at all as its not pointing at anything in particular 😀 However I love the fact that the staff at this M&S store have got stuck in and tried to fix the problem themselves the best way they could 💪 Note that these scales are manual, not like Sainsbury’s AI powered fruit/veg finder scales with the clever camera, which I posted about a few weeks ago - although that one isn’t working anymore which is annoying! Actually many digital experiences suffer from too many “band-aid” type solutions on top of each other, where problems are not fully addressed because of a number of reasons e.g.: 1️⃣ Unintentional reasons: Where teams do not properly understand the problem they’re trying to solve as they haven’t done their user research. So they’re just guessing at the problem and also the solution! This is common with some product teams and experimentation/optimisation teams jumping to solutions too quickly, skipping the problem discovery and understanding part! 2️⃣ Teams that are too focussed on just one step of the journey and therefore miss the entire problem and miss-fire with the solution, due to their “blinkered” perspective. This can be the case with vertical Product team structures unless they counter this with regular discovery research across the entire user journey. 3️⃣ Intentional reasons: Where the underlying problem is understood but the solution is too expensive or tricky to solve right away. So a temporary "band-aid" type solution like this arrow and yellow tape is required. I assume that this is the case in this example and the problem has already been reported back and being worked on by the M&S team. As they have a strong team over there I'm sure we'll soon see a new version being A/B tested and rolled-out very soon. #customerproblems #uxresearch #ux #experimentation #ABTesting #customerexperience #accessibility #wcag2 #bandaid

CEO @ UEGroup | AI Troublemaker, Technology Vision and User Experience, Executive in Residence: Purdue University Daniels School of Business
The very predictable AI backlash and failures are beginning to come to light. Like every tech revolution, people focus on the business value and forget that there are people at the other end of the solution that are needed to make it successful. This story about the failure at McDonalds, after a two year effort, is a symptom of a much larger issue when organizations approaching AI from the point of view of how it fits into their bottom line vs. a Human-Centered approach that adds value to its customers. https://lnkd.in/gi9Ze9b8 #ai #userexperience #innovation #ux #automation

Associate Director of Technology, S&P Global | Certified Agile Leader® serving Cross Functional Teams & Organization
Happy FriYAY Everyone!!!! Excited to share insights on product development! 🌟 In the realm of product development, understanding the distinctions between a Minimal Viable Product (MVP), Minimal Marketable Feature (MMF), and Widely Important Goal (WIG) is crucial. Let's break it down using a simple analogy: Minimal Viable Product (MVP): Think of an MVP as the basic ingredients of a recipe. It's the fundamental version of your product, stripped down to its core functionalities. Just like a basic cake needs flour, eggs, and sugar, an MVP includes essential features necessary to solve the primary problem for your users. It's the starting point, the raw material from which your product evolves. Minimal Marketable Feature (MMF): Now, imagine your product as a delicious cake. MMF is akin to adding frosting, sprinkles, and decorations to make the cake visually appealing and delightful. MMF goes beyond the basic functionalities of the MVP, focusing on enhancing user experience. These features might not be essential, but they add value and make your product more marketable and appealing to a specific audience. Widely Important Goal (WIG): Picture your product journey as a grand baking competition. Your WIG is the ultimate prize you aim to win – the highest accolade in the competition. It's a strategic objective that aligns your team, akin to perfecting the recipe and presentation of your cake to impress the judges. WIGs are ambitious, long-term goals that drive the overall direction of your product, ensuring it aligns with the broader mission and vision of your organization. Understanding these concepts helps teams navigate the complexities of product development. Start with the basic recipe (MVP), add the finishing touches (MMF), and keep your eyes on the grand prize (WIG). By balancing these elements, you can create a product that not only meets user needs but also captivates the market and propels your business toward its goals. #ProductDevelopment #MVP #MMF #WIG #Innovation #Strategy #Friday Let's bake some successful products together! 🎂✨
