Great points in this article. This is the first time I’m hearing about how companies are now paying attention to information and data from “extreme customers,” but it is so true that most social good orgs cater primarily to these extreme customers in the first place.
It’s important for organizations to continue to closely analyze these individuals and their needs…. That is the only way to drive meaningful impact.
Thanks, Meg. Yes, agreed that it’s important to analyze these individuals and their unique (or extreme) needs. It’s one way of driving meaningful impact, among many other ways.
Great article. It reinforces the point that many famous and successful people are blessed by some sort of disability. That disability allowed them to see the world through a different prism, giving them the inspiration for disruptive innovations. For example, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Thomas Edison all were born with dyslexia. poorpeopleblog.com
