In today’s market, entrepreneurs attempt to create customer-friendly start-ups without actually meeting their customers .

There are many roads entrepreneurs can take to start a new business. To many, the ‘lean startup approach’ is appealing for its cost-effective methods. In comparison “design thinking” is where the entrepreneur(s) go out and talk to their potential customers in order to conceive and create a successful product in a user-centred way.

Creating a Customer-Centric Business Venture

In today’s market, entrepreneurs attempt to to create customer-friendly start-ups without actually meeting their customers . Instead they are on quantitative data, analyzing their competitors, tinkering with spreadsheets, and use number-based thinking before and during their new venture. There are many roads entrepreneurs can take to start a new business. To many, the ‘lean startup approach’ is appealing for its cost-effective methods. In comparison “design thinking” is where the entrepreneur(s) go out and talk to their potential customers in order to conceive and create a successful product in a user-centred way. This frequently does take extra time and increases start-up costs.

However, it is the third option combining the two methods that is recommended. Together, you will be able to effectively serve your customers’ needs by creating a systematic, low-risk plan to introduce your company (and product) in the face of uncertain success.


All startups begin with a series of questions, it's up to you to find the answer for them. Who’s your target customer? What makes your product or service attractive to these customers? Where does your customer live and/or work? Who are your competitors? etc..The Lean Startup Method can help you identify the answers to these questions. Meanwhile, Design Thinking gives you the methodology to “prove” the answers you have are indeed correct, as well as obtaining core insights that you may not have even thought of!

In summary, research is still king-- you need to research your market and your business as well as understand your competitors. But before you start setting up your product/service, you still need to reach out to your potential customer to verify that your research is correct. Simple; makes sense right? Yet many new entrepreneurs are skipping this step, so sure that their research is correct and/or not wanting to invest the extra time/money to be sure-- although in the long run it is well worth the extra step. Feedback from your intended target demographic is vital to business success!

Music Education is important to begin at a young age


 
Each year The Asian Youth Orchestra offers young, talented musicians from across Asia the opportunity for advanced study, performance and international concert tours with celebrated artists and conductors. And every year we recruit some of the most talented, and hard working, pre-professional performers. The Asian Youth Orchestra was designed for just this reason, to celebrate the excellence of local, young musicians and encourage new generations of talented individuals-- brought to life by Richard Pontzious with the help of Ben and A. Jess Shenson as well as Sally Aw and Yehudi Menuhin. They dreamed of offering opportunities for Asia’s brightest young musicians for advanced study and performance in an international environment after Richard Pontzious saw the extreme need during his time in Taiwan, Japan and China in 1967.

Our passion for music runs high, especially when it comes to inspiring our local youth, and why we firmly believe that Music Education is important to begin at a young age. The benefits go far beyond what you may think! Whether your child is born to be a performer or would prefer to stay out of the spotlight, learning how to play an instrument is extremely beneficial.

Here’s a few of the reasons music education important, especially for children:


Learning how to play an instrument is a very mentally stimulating activity that can improve your child's concentration levels, as well as the ability to make logical decisions, and enhance memory. Children who study music also tend to have larger vocabularies, advanced reading skills and are better able to work together as a team. Teamwork is very important as your musical skill progresses! Daily music practice cultivates patience and discipline, as your child learns to set and follow schedules, meet deadlines, and is consistently practicing for better results. These traits can assist our youth in becoming successful later in life-- whether pursuing a musical career or not.

Another, often desired, trait that children pick up during music lessons is patience and discipline-- which in turn helps them to maintain and improve the ability to stay calm and composed in social settings. Musical training is also associated with an increased in imagination and creativity. Creative individuals utilize their creativity in every part of their lives, whether it’s their job or a recreational activity.

The Asian Youth Orchestra Summer Festival will be held in Hong Kong from 20 July to 8 August 2019. The Asia Tour Performance Schedule will immediately follow from 9 August to 1 September 2019.

Facebook: People over 55 are the Fastest-growing Demographic



PRDA,, Asia’s leading social media agency, is ready to provide your company with the digital transformation it needs! Contact us today to learn more.

Facebook celebrated its 15th birthday this year, and this popular social media platform is starting to show its age. People over 55 are now the fastest-growing demographic using -and joining- Facebook, as teens and young adults ditch Mark Zuckerberg’s social network in favor of Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. According to a UK report, only 2.2 million 12- to 17-year-olds and 4.5 million 18- to 24-year-olds will regularly use Facebook in 2048-- this is a decrease of 700,000 from 2017. The largest growth this year is found in the older population, with 500,000 new over-55s expected to join Facebook. This will result in over 6.4 million 55 to 65-year-olds, or older, regular Facebook users this year! Literally the biggest demographic except for 16- to 34-year-olds.
