What is Your Value Proposition?
Targeted Customers
The process of clinical trials is a significant part of the overall investment necessary to develop a medical device (or drug) (FDA, 2014). In other words, the act of performing clinical trials does not directly regenerate revenue nor profit as it is a procedural task within a medical device development program. However, the idea I propose will tackle (i.e., will offer an innovative solution) the high rate of nonadherence or noncompliance within the clinical trial participants (Alsumidaie, 2017). Also, it will provide a method to monitor compliance for patients undergoing a prescribed therapy treatment. In particular, the product/service will focus on the "pulsed electromagnetic field" (Hetch, 2020) (PEMF) therapies, which is one of the main markets my company serves.
This product/service solution will target two main customer categories:
Value Creation
The proposed product/service will create value to the identified customer categories through the following elements:
Value Proposition Statement
Reflecting on the targeted customers and the elements of value, the following is the initial "value proposition statement" (Shewan, 2018) for the proposed product/service: Empower your patients to live productively, pain-free.

RE: Week 3 DiscussionCOLLAPSE
Hi all,
Hope you are all having a great week. Please see the following week 3 DQ post.
For Whom Am I Creating Value?
The market segment in which I am targeting is small businesses in Ontario that operate within the retail and service industries whose revenue is typically less than $6 million dollars a year (ASQ, 1). Importantly, segmenting a market is critical to focus resources, increase customer retention, lower cost of acquisition, and improve the chances of selling to customers (OpenView, 2). Ultimately, value is created whenever a customer agrees to pay for a product or service but it’s important to understand that utility diminishes over time (Frakt, 3). As a result, continuous improvement will be needed to relentlessly drive value for the customer.
Who are your most important customers and where is the customer experiencing the product or service (in person, online)
The most important customers are those that fit within the strategic direction of the company, its defined market segment and who finds value in our service. Furthermore, the purpose of a business should be to create and retain these customers over the long-term whereby you have the greatest potential to maximize profitability (Sherman, 4).
In addition, since my service is about enabling data analytics for small business, customers are mostly going to be experiencing this online. Specifically, leveraging advanced analytic technology is mostly completed through cloud services. However, I do believe in the importance of meeting with customers directly, understanding their pain and incorporating them directly in the solution (Chick, 5).
What value do you deliver to the customer? Which customer needs are you satisfying?
I believe the value that we can deliver is enabling the client to obtain customer and market insights so that they can drive value for their own customers and create a competitive market advantage. Additionally, one of the most important things for a business to do is to not only create an offensive strategy but to also mitigate risk by establishing an economic moat (Gallant, 6). Data analytics provides the intelligence necessary for customers to make agile, forward leaning decisions instead of always chasing their tail.
Which one of your customer’s problems are you helping to solve?
The main problems that I am helping to solve is to remove the barrier to entry for accessing cost effective data analytics services and to empower my customers with the business intelligence needed for them to win. As I look at the anticipated services, there is room for improvement to ensure the offerings are deep, intelligent, complete, empowering and elegant (Kawasaki, 7). Increasing the product pipeline to meet these key characteristics will help to maintain stickiness to my brand over the long term.
