I rest my case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uso esta figura já há uns anos para exemplificar o arranque de um caso de desenvolvimento de um mapa da estratégia, durante as acções de formação. A figura descreve os principais actores e a motivação para entrarem na peça e o enredo que as vai ligar (engraçado escrever actores, peça e enredo... quando penso cada vez mais na experiência e Gilmore e Pine “The Experience Economy: Work Is Theater & Every Business a Stage”):

"he works « with a lot of motorsport athletes to try to build awareness for Specialized in other non bike related magazines and at events like Moto GP etc« . I wouldn’t have thought about this aspect spontaneously, but it’s interesting to notice indeed. I had other events in mind like stage races, interviews or trade shows."

"But being a product manager not only requires creating and launching products targetting specific consumer groups. "

"The manager also has to ensure a valuable service to every single customer in particular by selecting points of sale."

"That’s what the French distributor of the Swiss brand BMC (Bicycle Manifacturing Company) explains to B2BIKE : « we seek retailers that focus on high-end products, that have strong technical competence and a valuable sales surface that can present several products. Financial strength of the retailer is also essential."

"BMC bring commercial and technical support (a dedicated catalog, POP, wingflags, stickers etc.)« . This support is very important for the retailer, whose success depends on the attractivity of the store and on the ability to respond to customer’s needs."

"« Some days it means I get paid to sit at my computer and talk on the phone about production issues and model details, some days it’s sitting through extensive meetings, some days it’s meeting with dealers, other days it’s research travel to check out market segments or specific events« . And being a product manager seems to be a 24/7 job, because what stands out is that they are always on the look-out for ideas : « I take tons of pictures when I’m out and about to articulate ideas to my colleagues«"

Tenho de actualizar a imagem para incluir um factor com importância crescente e que não é referido no texto... desenvolver uma presença na internet. Não para empurrar mais publicidade mas para criar mais oportunidades de desenvolver uma relação entre actores da cadeia da procura e a marca, para apostar na co-criação, na co-produção, para conversar sobre o futuro.

É impressionante a quantidade de informação que um cliente tem sobre a experiência de uso e que ninguém parece conseguir captar bem, como neste excelente exemplo da Polisport.
