Our original business model canvas evolved over time
We initially thought that we could
impact many different customer
segments
We entered the class interested in exploring
applications in Education, Police, Medical
Institutions, and Companies...
… and our interviews helped us narrow our focus
“This is exciting,
but I’m not sure
what budget we
have for this”
Susie Brubaker-Cole
Vice Provost of Student Affairs
Our interviews helped us narrow our focus... 6 interviews
Stanford University, Colorado
College, Teach for America
“Customized content
is important and
would need to be co-
developed with
officers”
Ben Singleton
Director of Analytics at NYPD
Our interviews helped us narrow our focus... 2 interviews
NYPD, Axon
“Doctors will only
listen to other
doctors”
Dr. Hannah Valentine
Chief Officer @ NIH
Our interviews helped us narrow our focus... 3 interviews
Stanford Medicine, NIH, Crisis
Prevention Institute
We discovered an
unmet need in
corporations: Chief
Culture / Diversity
Officers have limited
selection in current
market
This guided our focus
toward corporations
“We have a new role - the Chief
Culture Officer. Like the Chief
Diversity Officer & Chief
Learning Officer, it reports to the
CEO. I’ll send your pilot proposal
to all 3. This is something we
have to do”
Head of Diversity Strategy Programs,
Wells Fargo
...Until we landed on our target customer - large
corporations with a CDO
35 interviews
Walmart, Dropbox, Youtube,
Airbnb, MetLife, Citibank, etc.

Interviews helped us choose our target customer...
University admin and
faculty trainings not
right initial target
because of lack of
resources
Police and medical
Institutions not right
initial customer because
subject matter expertise
Then
HR lead / Training / Compliance Lead
● Existing role with set budgets
● Budgets may be “first cut” due to
lower priority than core business
ops
● No clear D&I strategy
We also got smarter on our actual buyer
Now
Chief Diversity Officer / Chief Culture Officer
● New role created in the last 5 years
● Few effective solutions to serve this new
role and new budget
● High priority, especially in tech
● Clear D&I strategy and currently paying
for trainings

California regulation
For whom are we

➣ Large corporate
companies with dedicated

➣Companies between 5-
50 employees that will be
affected by new California
state regulation for sexual
harassment training
➣ University
administration and faculty
trainings
➣ Police departments
➣ Medical institutions
Potential required
customer!
New CA regulations:
● Companies >5 employees must
provide sexual harassment and
bullying trainings
● All employees must undergo starting
Jan 1, 2020
● Must be interactive
Smaller underserved companies will
need new diversity training solutions
& won’t be able to afford in-person
workshops
Pivot averted: interviews revealed that small
startups (<20 people) not willing to pay
whereas large companies see compliance
separate from D&I
Larger companies are
approaching compliance
training separate from D&I
training
Opportunity to combine legal
compliance need with
diversity training needs
Opportunity
Smaller companies (<100) are
focused on growing fast and
using internal/free resources
More engaging D&I trainings
are not compelling to smaller
startups
Size matters

We believed that we
could produce engaging
and effective trainings in
360 video, AR, and VR
We surveyed over 30 people to test
experiences with existing trainings

“It was pretty
lame...boring...
not helpful.”
It was Impersonal & on my
computer so hard to really
get a proper perspective or
feel engaged with the
product
Teaching staff reminded us:
User≠Customer!
Our actual customers are D&I leads who are
searching for improved outcomes

We developed storyboards to test content with D&I leads
Storyboard - initial content for first module
© 2018 Praxis Labs, Inc.
We developed storyboards to test content ideas with D&I leads to confirm
content was aligned with their goals
© 2018 Praxis Labs, Inc.
We thought that D&I leads
were most interested in
what the content would be
and what topics we’d
cover
We learned that D&I leads
were interested in content
and topics, but were
especially excited about
interactive and flexible
components
What medium is the best
for interactivity and
flexibility?
● Not 360 video!
○ Thought: fast and easy to prototype
○ Reality
■ Hard to make high quality,
production value - see picture on
right for example
■ Higher need for film experience and
harder to enter as novices
■ Quote to have professional ten
minute 360 video ~$15,000

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Melina We are Praxis Labs, a company advancing Diversity & Inclusion outcomes through immersive, Virtual Reality based training experiences
  2. Melina Elise pulled our team of 4 together, as women of color the team quickly clicked through a shared passion for diversity, equity, & inclusion. At the beginning of the Lean Launchpad class, Katie Connor became our mentor. At this starting point we planned to use VR to reduce bias in schools, governments, and companies. After interviewing over 120 people including Customers, VR experts, and bias experts, and developing with our mentor, the team is now reimagining D&I training in VR to increase perspective-taking and provide a more effective and scalable solution.
  3. Melina The first 3 weeks in our journey were spent trying to understand who our customer segments are, and who would be our early adopters.
  4. Melina The team hypothesized that are customers were HR and D&I leads who are in charge of purchasing or developing trainings for their employees. We explore three customer segments which were HR and D&I leads at Public Organizations, Private Organizations, and Companies.
  5. Melina We explored public and private educational institutions, government sectors such as police departments, private hospitals, and companies across different sizes and industries.

  9. Melina Where we found really found traction is with larger sized companies who have a Chief Diversity Officer. We learned that the CDO position had been created in the past 5 years and most Fortune 1000 companies under diversity scrutiny had one, and the CDO position was growing.
  10. Melina While the team saw opportunity in the future for other customer segments, we accepted that corporate companies had the budget and excitement to buy our product and became our target customer.
  11. Melina We also realized that the specific customer who we would be selling directly to, was not who we originally thought. Depending on the size of a company Head of HR, Heads of Learning & Development, Directors of Diversity & Inclusion, Chief Diversity Officer

  17. Heather So now that we actually have a customer in mind, we focused these next few weeks on content creation
  18. Heather Past interviews showed D&I leads were concerned and invested in what our content would be. We came in with the hypothesis that all immersive media could be powerful enough to produce engaging and effective trainings
  19. Heather To understand what was out there, we surveyed over 30 people about their experiences with existing trainings. The overwhelming response was that the e-learnings were boring and people wanted more engaging material. We thought we had hit the jackpot and were excited to come to class and share our findings.
  20. Heather But then the teaching staff reminded us, your end-user is not your customer!
  21. Heather Going back to our drawing board, we decided to refocus on our actual customers: D&I leads looking for improved outcomes.
  22. Heather In response to that, we developed storyboard content to pressure test against D&I leads to make sure we were on the right path
  23. Heather We originally expected that customers would be most excited about the content and topics we chose. Instead, we learned that D&I leads are most interested in whether we can make the content more interactive and customized to their own company.
  24. Heather So in our next iteration of product development, we wanted to explore which medium could create interactive and customizable content fast. Our first hunch was that 360 video was fast and easy to prototype. This did not go as we planned; it is hard to make high quality, as you can see in the picture on the right where I wore a laptop case to film with the camera
  25. Heather Instead we need a medium that supports our value props of effectiveness and scalability. During these weeks, we interviewed over 35 technology and D&I experts to find that VR is key in achieving our vision. D&I leads need to have empathy + pt to drive training effectiveness. Research out of the lab proves that vr can build empathy and pt more than other mediums. At the same time, companies need better ways to track D&I training effectiveness and VR can offer quantifiable metrics.
