From Inside-Out to Outside-In: Aligning teams around what matters

Event: Fast Flow Conference NL 2025
Date: [March, 2025]

This talk introduces User Needs Mapping as a practical approach to shift thinking to an outside-in perspective — aligning teams around real user needs, fostering ownership, and reducing organizational complexity.

Through actionable examples and real-world stories, audiences learn how to uncover what truly matters to users and build structures that deliver value more effectively.
