Case Study: project for IB-Group
IB-Group: Scholarships, course registration and certificates for all universities and colleges in The Netherlands. Financial service provider for students of all ages.
Research question:How can we motivate students to arrange all their affairs with us online? We have an extensive online presence, but need to be available through all channels. However we want students to contact us primarily online. What is the best strategy to do this and what new service concepts can we deliver?
Example: People’s House co-creation workshop
Holistic approach:How do young students manage their personal finance, and deal with IB-Group?
Interviews with 25 first year students at their homes.
Asking them about recent and actual customer journeys
Two problematic attitudes that IB-Group needs to anticipate on:
1. “I'll see what happens”
2. “I need complete certainty”

Workshop with managers from various departments to generate ideas for new services, based on insights from research

Teenagers do not snap to full independence the moment they turn 18. Parents are often advising and patching up.
