Like most developers and creatives, our biggest business problem is in rejecting ideas and prioritising our customers requirements, so we can meet them.
We try to be market research lead and solve existing problems with technology people already are familiar with. Because in business, teaching your customers about anything, is incredibly expensive and frail. That’s something about product development you learn quite quickly
But there are lots of real existing problems out there, all crying out to be solved in a better, more productive, efficient, way. So how do you choose?
Well that problem of our own has become a problem we would like to solve for you!
But first of all, let’s look at what the business problem is and why it needs solving.
Let’s examine some core facts.
