Reflection – Learning Launch Tool 

 Challenge      I run an Education - Technology company with the focus of teaching Robotics to children .   Even though learning Robotics from a young age is considered as a great add - on   skillset around the world , our challenge was to figure out whether a monthly subscription   based approach ( sending one activity box per month with all the robotic components   and step by step instruction booklet ) is the right way to reach out to our customers .      Selection      We started with the brainstorming technique , and bounced off our idea with various   possible stakeholders ( parents , children , grandparents , teachers etc ) . Based on this   exercise , we made some assumptions .      As I had left my corporate career to start this venture , my opportunity cost was huge .    We picked up the Learning launch tool to test our assumptions in the real world . The   intent was to understand , early - on , weather our assumptions of going ahead with a   monthly subscription based robotics learning program was taking us in the right   direction or not .     Application      The first phase of our Learning Launch was to implement a six month subscription   based Robotics learning program through our website .    We used various marketing channels to reach out to potential customers ( Google   adwords , Social media marketing , workshops in schools and corporates ) .      The next step in our Learning launch phase was data gathering . We were ready for both   the confirming and disconfirming facts to come up . We were ready for the surprizes . We   interacted with all the children as well as the parents who subscribed to the Robotics   program , and tried to understand what they liked and the scope of improvement of the   program .       Insight      We gathered that : 

 1 . While our customers were really happy with the content and a subscription based 

 model , they wanted to achieve the end goal ( basic introduction / knowledge of   robotics ) faster . A six - month commitment was perceived to be too long . 

 2 . Learning Robotics is one of the many other things ( swimming , music , sports etc ) 

 that the children were engaged in along with their regular school academics . 

 3 . There were children who wanted to explore their interest in Robotics , but were 

 shying away from a six month long commitment . 

 4 . Once in every four - months children have assessments in schools ( exams ) and 

 parents were hesitant to place an order during the overlapping months . 

 From our learning launch experiment we learnt :   Short - term commitment = More   comfort for Children .     Hence , for our next Learning Launch we pivoted to a 3 month subscription based   Robotics learning program .   We divided our robotics learning program into two programs : 

 1 ) Junior Robotics Learning Program   ( Duration 3 months )   2 ) Senior Robotics Learning Program ( Duration 3 months ) 

 This helped in the following ways : 

 1 . Desired flexibility for   the parents / children to choose a shorter ( 3 month ) 

 program , 

 2 . To choose the appropriate level ( based on child ’s existing knowledge of 

 Robotics ) , 

 Approach      As Michael Radermacher said in Week 4 of our course :   ‘ A learning launch is not a failure so long as you learn something ’   The Learning Launch tool was a perfect mechanism for us as we had to iterate on the   business model at a fast pace .   We gained tremendous insights from our customers after applying the Learning Launch   mechanism .   The future program should continue to gather feedback and incorporate the same .
