- Conduct primary research, including interviews and surveys
- Quantitatively derive the segments; bring to life in an interactive workshop
- Throughout this phase, suggest quick wins to implement asap
Activate

- Co-create an action plan for each high-value segment
- Experiment with new segment-specific ideas
- Scale the winning pilots
- Keep score with KPIs using the Ultimate Segment Scoreboard
