Project Description: WSJSociety.com Update (Update 1/2/2016)
Project WSJSociety.com Update will follow the Lean Startup Process to set our focus on the needs and interests of our members. We’ll start with constructing a current Business Model Canvas for the WSJ Society to examine the role and effectiveness of WSJSociety.com as it is currently designed. From there we will start our discovery process, exploring member needs and interests, testing how WSJSociety.com might better address those interests.
Along the way, we’ll learn about tools used today to support business startups e.g.the Business Model Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas. We’ll get into the WSJSociety.com website design and ways we can use it better. That will get us into some neat technology e.g. WordPress, BuddyPress, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. To measure our progress, we’ll be talking to members and get into some Google Analytics. How’s that for some fun with technology?
If the technology is not your thing, don’t worry. As was always the case with our products at Johnson Controls, the value of technology was derived from its impact on people. We need insight into member interests to drive this project. And, you are a member right?
