The Challenge with Challenges
As we drafted our trial offering — and even before that, when we outlined our presentation — we included “challenges”: the changes we’re going to ask people to make in the screen-usage over a certain period of time.
This requires us to define the “change” we want to see. “Define” literally means to set the limit (vs describe which means lit. to write/sketch out). When you design your trail offering you start to set your niche — the limits of the space or position you’re going to take in the market: we offer this, but we’re not in the business of that.
The limits of your niche are always formed by the tension between value and cost: both for you and for your client:
- For you: what value can we provide and practically support? What value can we reliably deliver without disappointing and ruining our reputation with users?
- For the user/client: does this give me the value I want at a cost I want to pay?
In a campaign like ours, the product (value) is a type of change, and the cost is largely the cost of making that change. Right now, on our team we have different ideas about what the limits of that value/cost should be, so we need to have a defining conversation about our niche.
Especially important:
- What’s the allowable uses of screen time (just work and learning, or does it include recreation and entertainment)?
- What’s the cost of (1.) to participants who already have significant value online (loss of friends, loss of identity, loss of expression) and how will we support to lower the cost?
