INSIGHT.FULL™
Uncover what your customer really wants to pay for.INSIGHT.FULL™
Insights that will fuel your business growth
Want to know the starting blocks for the world's best innovations?
It's insights. An insight is a word commonly used but seldom understood. It's a human truth, be that a customer frustration, need or desire, or emerging trend that has yet to be capitalised on.
Most of us make the mistake of generating ideas without clarifying what customers think and the emotional undercurrents that drive their purchasing behaviour.
Focus groups don't work due to biases, and people suck at predicting how they will behave in the future.
The secret lies in observing and decoding how they behave to what you put in front of them and what they are thinking but not saying aloud.
YOU'LL LEARN:
• Spot critical trends that will affect your industry and market
• Uncover the emotional undercurrents that are driving your customer behaviour
• Learn the drivers to shift customers from inertia into action
• How to join the conversation your client is having in their head with the product or service you are selling
"Great presentation - clear message."
- Kylie Donovan, NSW department of training & education

Nils Vesk Speaker Showreel
Nils Vesk has been applying, teaching, and researching innovation around the world for over 15 years. The key innovation problem he solves is that organisations have too few innovations and they are too far apart. Nils’ research has identified that the major cause of this problem is that our biases get in the way of innovating. Simply put ‘what we see changes what we see’. This is human nature, except it often results in us filtering and making decisions we’re not even aware that we’ve made.Nils you helped us think and get our heads around what we needed to do as one group moving forward. It was a great experience for all and you challenged our thinking, gave us practical tools ... keep reading VicRoads
Nils' presentation was a highlight of our three day event. It created a buzz in the room which followed through into breaks and ongoing sessions. It set the scene for our information sharing, it got people talking, and it generated ideas in the audience which enhanced the outcomes of our event.
Absolutely brilliant. He put a new perspective on my thought process!
I highly recommend Nils Vesk as a speaker for your business. Nils presented to our entire agency and we received great feedback from all departments - from the creative teams to the 'suits'. He was an energetic and inspiring presenter who provided us with great ideas for how we can become more inventive. His ideation strategies would be applicable for any type of business - and I encourage any business leader who believes in the power of ideas to also get him involved in their business.
Some words to describe what Nils Vesk did for us at our CBA conference. He led us, he guided us, he facilitated, he challenged us, and most importantly he helped us innovate and become thought leaders. He was fabulous, his style is terrific his energy is contagious and we'd use him again in a heart beat.
