Understanding Innovator Biases in Product Perception PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 46-slide Psychology of Product Adoption PowerPoint presentation, presents the concept of the "Innovator's Curse," highlighting the inherent biases that innovators face regarding their own products. It outlines 3 key aspects: Self-Selection, Clash in Perspectives, and Curse of Knowledge.

Self-Selection emphasizes that innovators and early adopters often hold a skewed perception of their innovations. They are likely to believe strongly in the value of their creations, which can lead to a disconnect with the broader market. The slide raises an important question: Are these positive perceptions shared by the wider audience? This is crucial for innovators to consider, as their self-selected group may not represent the views of potential customers.

The second point, Clash in Perspectives, addresses the differing viewpoints between innovators and their target customers. Innovators may have a unique understanding of their product, shaped by their experiences and expectations. However, the current state of potential customers may differ significantly, leading to misaligned perceptions. The mention of the Endowment Effect serves as a reminder that innovators often have a personal stake in their products, which can cloud their judgment.

Lastly, the Curse of Knowledge suggests that once individuals acquire information about a product, it becomes challenging for them to revert to their previous state of ignorance. This can hinder their ability to empathize with customers who have not yet experienced the product. Understanding these biases is essential for innovators to effectively communicate their product's value and align it with customer needs. Overall, the slide underscores the importance of recognizing these biases in order to enhance product adoption strategies.



This slide is part of the Psychology of Product Adoption PowerPoint presentation.

Designed by a firm of ex-consultants from McKinsey, E&Y, and Bearing Point, this presentation discusses the Psychology of Product Adoption. It covers important concepts like Prospect Theory, Innovator's Curse, and Endowment Effect.
