About the event
This June, we brought together a panel of Product experts from some of the leading Tech For Good start-ups in the UK, including ZOE, Thriva, Greyparrot, Peanut and Ada Health!
Our esteemed panel plunged deep into the challenges associated with building products for the greater good, exploring various topics, including:
- Shifting mindsets: Discover strategies to create product traction, even when educational barriers or common mindsets pose challenges.
- Shaping behaviours: Learn how to effectively communicate the benefits of a product to customers, especially when it involves initiating behavioral changes. We will also discuss the incentives required to maintain these changes in the long-term.
- Healthy friction to commitment vs. healthy friction to value: Understand the significance of fostering a mindset shift in users and educating them on the long-term effects of a product to encourage commitment.
To catch up on all of the advice & insights shared, check out the recording of the panel discussion below:
A massive thanks to our partners Thriva who hosted the event at their fantastic office in Old Street, Shoreditch.
