Unlocking Innovation: The Edge Framework Explained
In this episode of Talking Insights, we welcome Sandro Kaulartz, Ajay Bangia, April Jeffries, and Karin O’Neill to explore the EDGE Framework, a methodology that focuses on identifying high-growth opportunities by examining extreme behaviors and divergences from the norm. The conversation delves into the integration of AI with qualitative research to uncover insights about user behavior at the margins, and how organizations can leverage these insights for innovation and growth. The panel discusses practical steps for applying the Edge Framework in various industries, emphasizing the importance of understanding user needs and behaviors to drive successful product development and marketing strategies.
