Hands on Consumer Driven Product Optimization, 3 one-day workshops, NYC (21-23 March 2018)
The session can be attended either at MicroTek Training Facilities, 180 Maiden Lane, New York 10038 or using a virtual training room from your own office.
Hands on Consumer Driven Product Optimization, 3 one-day workshops
Day 1 is designed to take you through the key methods that we use in consumer science and explain how they work and how they are applied to consumer data. Emphasis is given to the practical decision making that is made after each analysis. Participants will apply the methods to real life data using XLSTAT routines and will be guided by the written solutions that are a unique feature of Hal MacFie Training. These solutions give you the possibility to pick up the notes after 6 months or a year and remind yourself how a technique works and then apply it to your own data. Day 2 is a Segmentation Masterclass: This will give attendees a unique perspective: understanding and experience with the three main segmentation algorithms. Practical guidance on selecting the correct algorithm for the task, selecting the optimum cluster set, testing for stability will be given. The key question with clusters is to identify any predominant characteristics of the membership and we will show a variety of approaches for this. Day 3 afternoon Concept optimisation and Product matching. Many concept trials ask multiple questions including sensory about one or more concepts. How can we examine segmentation in the response to a single concept? Which concepts do we select for further development?
