Electrolux strategic journey over the last decade
“We have returned to a consumer focus – meaning that rather than selling what we produce, we produce what sells”.
Hans Stråberg, CEO Electrolux

Consumer insight is what fuels the PMF process
What isan insight?
A focusedunderstanding of unfulfilled needs,
problems, wants or desires
Watch
Ask
Listen
![Page 9: Consumer Driven Innovation at Electrolux](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55a5c8491a28abeb308b45c9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
X-functional work is a core principle of PMF: The insight should carry through all the way to launch and beyond
Marketers to “dramatize features”. Turn
technical solutions into emotional benefits
Designers to ensure that key features are
visible and that you stand out overall
![Page 10: Consumer Driven Innovation at Electrolux](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55a5c8491a28abeb308b45c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How do you segment consumers to make it actionable to the Electrolux brand?
� One possible approach is demographic…
– Men
– Children > 7 year
– 40 – 65 yrs age
– Mid to high Income
– Larger household in
urban areas
– Interests: music, fashion,
cooking
