Fact: Women buy (products made by men)

Over 10,000 working hours and more than 1500 women
worldwide were involved in a unique research study, which analyzed
female tech-preferences and how to best embrace these insights within
product development.

This masterclass will present the results of a 3-year design research program called "female interaction" co-financed by the Danish Governments program for user-driven innovation
- a cross disciplinary project bringing together scientists, designers
and innovation experts from 3 leading tech companies: Bang &
Olufsen, GN Netcom and Danfoss.

In this Webinar, you'll learn:
  • Womenomics Trends Data: Female business insights and the innovation potential overseen in the (tech) industry
  • Made by Men, Bought by Women: How does a female's approach to technology differ from a male's?
  • Female Interaction Principles for Making the Female Tech Approach Operational: Go beyond pink
  • 4 Female Tech User Profiles: Ways to avoid stereotypic gendered thinking and tools to enhance user focus
  • Case study Illustrating Potential for User-experience Innovation: How to
    redesign a specific tech-product (a mobile headset from Jabra) based on
    insights from female values and a female approach to technology
  • Female
    Innovation Strategy Outline: How to meet the preferences of the female
    users and consumers through innovative research & design process
Presenter: Klaus Schroeder, Design-Director & Partner, Head of Female Interaction Research
