Key Takeaways:
Our needs and motivations change throughout the day, and smart products, technologies, and services should reflect those changes.
When we move from one “mode” to another, we are moving through a threshold, even if just for a moment. These thresholds are the moments tech companies need to study to better understand customer needs.
As a consumer, companies providing a service or experience through smart technology need honest feedback. This will allow them to upgrade and adapt their technology to further serve customers.
Strategists should focus on digging deeper into what drives behaviors, thoughts, trends.
