The Kano Model

The Kano Model is an insightful way of understanding, categorizing, and priotitizing 5 types of Customer Requirements (or potential features) for new products and services. (Basic, Performance, Excitement, Indifferent, and Reverse) Each category of requirements has a distinctly different influence on customer satisfaction. The model was created in the early 80’s but continues today to be an essential tool for all organizations independent of industry or size.

Here’s 7 other Videos to consider watching!

1.    • Maximize Value   - Value is a ratio of "good stuff" to "bad stuff" in a product, service, or software. Learn the qualitative and quantitative elements of the Value Equation and how to maximize New Customer Value with 6 "strategies" and over 3 dozen specific tools.

2.    • Tool Selection Matrix   - The Tool Selection Matrix is a simple (yet comprehensive) decision matrix that shows you the best Idea Generation and/or Problem-Solving Tools for a variety of common corporate technical situations that call for "Innovation or Inventive Thinking".

3.    • The Trimming Technique   - The Trimming Technique is an amazing 6-step algorithm for cost or complexity reduction. The technique targets elements of any system or process for elimination. These elements are either parts of a system or steps in a process. It can also be used for problem-solving and the identification of new unique market opportunities.

4.    • Invention, Innovation, or Improvement?   - Learn the proper definitions and differences between Invention, Innovation, and Improvement and how they are interrelated but fundamentally quite different.

5.    • 8-Step Innovation Framework   - Our 8-Step Innovation Framework shows how Systematic Innovation is NOT an oxymoron, two mutually exclusive words that just don't seem to fit together. Get introduced to our 8-Step "Innovation Framework" and see how over 3 dozen "Innovation Tools" are integrated into our Innovation Framework.

6.    • The Kano Model   - The Kano Model is an insightful way of understanding and categorizing 5 universal types of Customer Requirements (or potential features) for new products and services. Learn how each category of requirements has a distinctly different influence on customer satisfaction.

7.    • Separation Principles   - The Separation Principles are 4 brilliant Inventive Principles that deal with Physical Conflicts or Contradictions (i.e. mutually exclusive requirements) and are one of the tools from the TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving) toolbox.
