Business needs
Integrating business needs into human-centered design and technology ensures solutions are user-friendly, sustainable, and profitable. This approach aligns products with strategic goals, driving value and supporting growth while satisfying both users and business objectives.
Business is relevant for any product as much as people happy using it.
In my experience, understanding and incorporating business needs into every aspect of a company is crucial for staying relevant and successful. Business needs are the essential requirements and objectives that a company must fulfill to achieve its goals, such as profitability, growth, and sustainability.
