BEHAVIOR & INSIGHT
Humans are not (completely) rational actors.
BEHAVIOR & INSIGHT
Behavioral Determinants
HeuristicsEither learned or hard-coded ‘rules of thumb’.
Previous ExperienceTacit knowledge gained through practical experience.
Emotional AffectThe valence, responsiveness to stimuli, and motivational intensity.
ContextThe environmental and situational conditions.
BEHAVIOR & INSIGHT
Behavioral Modeling
A strategic framework for identifying behavioral commonality across customer segments.
IN PRACTICE
Modeling Objectives
1 Model common behavioral patterns for a given condition (shopping).2 Map behavioral determinants and customer touchpoints against the model.3 Identify gaps in the customer experience.
IN PRACTICE
The Current Model
IN PRACTICE
Behavioral ModelShopping
IN PRACTICE
Components
PatternsIdentifiable regularity in customer behavior.
ThresholdsThe point at which a small change in conditions transitions aperson to another stage or model in the shopping/hunting lifecycle.
ContextsThe environmental and situational conditions (including social structures).
TouchpointsPoints of interaction with the company/brand.
RolesPatterns of behavior across the model.
IN PRACTICE
Key Learnings
1 Shopping is not a linear process.2 Design experiences that support our customer’s behaviors.3 Segmentation alone provides a one dimensional view of
customers.4 We should recognize that there are different roles throughout the
process.
IN PRACTICE
Paradigm Shift
The customer does not live for your company, your company lives for the customer.
IN PRACTICE
