Persona

A customer persona is a deep description exemplifying a specific customer profile. The idea is to specify customer characteristics, needs, wants and frustrations, a day-in-the-life, etc. At MTI², we don’t just teach you the logic behind personas – we let you immerse in them! We do so through a hands-on approach to training that guides you on how to apply insights from customer interviews or observations to your own personas. And it doesn’t stop there – we work with you to leverage personas for actual projects to help you directly apply your newfound knowledge and have a direct impact on your organization!
