Show Notes

Episode highlights …

Artificial intelligence is here and its value applies to many businesses
Productizing services is much more than putting your services online
It’s essential that you deeply understand what you deliver and what your clients get from your services before you shift them into products
Essentials for creating online courses
You don’t have to lose the magic of your services when you take them on online
Online courses often enhance your clients’ learning experience and understanding
Productization requires careful consideration and understanding of all the steps that go into what you now deliver as a service
Many online programs have to be cut into smaller slices of time and learning (you can’t deliver a live program into an online program with the same time slots)
The importance of considering and designing the client journey and experience when it comes to productized services and programs
The value of being intentional in designing your courses and programs (and often engaging a design expert)
Services that require a high level of technical knowledge will be more difficult to productize
Effective productization requires that you continue to reassess your process, “product” and client experience … and then continuously improve your online product
The reality that productization takes a great deal of time and work
You also must address the question of how people will find your online product / course
It’s important to take a 360 degree look at your entire design, offering, product, process, launch, etc. in order to get it right
The productization golden nugget – it’s ALL about the customer journey!
