Reflection – Learning Launch 

 Challenge 

 My organization deals with the production of plantain flour . Plantain flour is a staple food , where   plantain fruits are dried , grinded into flour and taken as meal . This flour can be used to replace a lot of   meals for people with certain ailments and generally anyone interested in having a change of diet . The   challenge is finding a way to get the plantain flour packs to the market , not just getting it to the market   only but having a high demand from customers . Aside running advertisement , a lot still felt out of place .   Majorly , my objective is to capitalize on the health sector by providing plantain flour for people who due   to their ailment ( diabetes , hemorrhoids , low immune system and many more ) . This project will require   the company ’s resources with a maximum schedule of 2 months to uncover what we need to know   about our potential customers and our product . 

 Tool Selection 

 Naturally what comes to mind is to understand who my customers are and how my product brings   something different and effective to them . My team and I had to engage ourselves with a few customers   applying the Learning Launch tool to understand generally what our customers true need in other to   work hand in hand to solve this . 

 Application 

 Firstly , with the idea of having this alternative product delivered into the hands of people who fall into   the category as mentioned , my team and I only had what we know and needed more data as to why our   product is fit for distribution . We sought to find out what we do n’t know , by finding out possible places   where we can find a good number of customers to interview and test our products . As such was the   case , we came up with Health centre ’s , Hospitals , shopping malls and the local market . We decided   about 50 potential customers from different background and health conditions be interviewed and   given the product to try out . During the interviews , customers basic information like name , Age , Weight ,   Height , Body Mass Index , Contact Information were taken , we got to find out their day to day schedule ,   social life and how they maintain their health . Getting this information also came with the opportunity   of educating each and everyone of them on the benefits of plantain flour and this caught their interest . 

 This led to our second learning launch , this led to regrouping and understanding what exactly we were   dealing with . At this stage we were clear on what our audience of 50 potential customers needed . We   were able to track down the causes of each of their ailments be it natural causes or lifestyle causes ; all   this information was sorted out . 

 Insight 

 Our assumptions were identified and we went into action to test these assumptions . Basically , we   understood from our interaction that most of the potential customers had little or no idea about the   importance and usefulness of plantain , while some knew but would rather not go through the stress of   having to prepare the plantain flour for themselves . Next thing was to propose the idea of giving out the   product for trial and get results in the span of a month . On getting results from our potential customers   we took new data and compared to the initial data which we found considerable desired results and   customer satisfaction with our products . Some customers expressed concerns over some benefits which 

 were n’t achieved ( like possible weight loss ) during testing period and a few others but the team took   these concerns and will look over them with possible solutions incorporated into future launch design   processes . 

 Approach 

 The learning launch proved to be the appropriate tool , my team and I need to sit and look into the   insights gained and find possible solutions to future launch designs which should then have taken into   consideration the insights gained , what progress we were able to achieve and give a solution in order to   prepare our product for mass production and distribution .
