SUMMARY:How NPR Builds Audience Loyalty: Outcome-Focused Design
DESCRIPTION:In this talk you will learn how to:\n \nIdentify which behavioral outcomes support your organization’s mission\n \nCraft experiences that help you accomplish your behavioral outcome goals\n \nHelp your team appreciate how customer actions align with daily customer journeys\n \nPlan a product strategy to deliver habit-worthy experiences on current and future platforms\n \nWhen an organization is customer-focused instead of product-focused\, it can both understand what customers really want and craft new\, innovative experiences to serve them well.\n \nScott Stroud from NPR believes that we succeed in creating a strong portfolio of helpful\, habit-forming products when we understand our customer’s daily journey and behavior to design experiences that align to their daily lives. This is what Scott calls outcome-focused design\, a human-centered and mission-centered approach to building and maintaining trusted customer relationships for the long haul.\n \nBy focusing on designing for customer outcomes we gain insight into which tools and platforms are likely to offer the right experience at the right moment for your customer.

SUMMARY:Brainfood Speaker Series Featuring Pincho Factory
DESCRIPTION:(Speakers) Otto Othman and Nedal Ahmad\nOtto Othman and Nedal Ahmad are the co-founders of Pincho Factory\, an award winning and unique concept inspired by street food—Burgers + Kebabs elevated to a modern day experience here in Miami.\nOtto Othman is an Interactive Creative Director\, Serial Entrepreneur and CMO of Pincho Factory. With 15 years of interactive design experience and fluent in 4 languages\, Otto has led multi disciplinary interactive teams on award winning campaigns for clients such as FIAT\, Coca Cola\, Chrysler and Sprint. Otto is the Co-founder of the award winning burgers and kebabs fast casual chain Pincho Factory in Miami. Leveraging its culture\, social media and technology\, Pincho Factory has won the hearts of many guests and has been successful at creating a very loyal following/cult in South Florida.\nHaving spent his childhood in the kitchen with the women in his family\, Nedal Ahmad grew up with not only a passion to cook\, but also to create. Chicago-born and Hialeah-raised\, Ahmad worked in the restaurant business most of his young adult life and honed his talents for cooking from a very young age.\nAt a family barbecue in 2010\, while making his family-famous burgers and taking turns with his cousin Otto Othman – who was grilling up some of his mother’s equally-famous meat and vegetable skewers\, the duo cooked up more than just delicious food. Looking to make changes in their careers\, Ahmad and Othman decided that these simple elements – burgers and kebabs – would make the perfect springboard for a successful fast casual chain. The dream was hatched: to open their own restaurant\, serving delicious burgers and skewers of undeniable quality\, made with the freshest ingredients.\nWith $6.27 left in his bank account and his friends and family by his side\, Ahmad’s journey led to what is now one of South Florida’s most homegrown fast casual success stories. On the heels of its win of the 2015 Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival Amstel Light People’s Choice Award\, Pincho Factory is rapidly expanding its South Florida presence.\nAfter winning the 2015 Food Network Burger bash\, Pincho Factory has grown into 9 locations with 4 more in the works. The brand has ambitious goals to reach 500 locations nationwide in the future.\nTwitter: @PinchoFactory\n(Moderator) TBA\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________\nBrainfood is a monthly\, hands-on discussion with local entrepreneurs who share the secrets of their success. These monthly gatherings will help Miami startups and entrepreneurs understand the opportunities and challenges of launching and growing a business. Every participant will leave with a wealth of new ideas and key\, practical advice to advancing one’s own entrepreneurial career.

SUMMARY:Brainfood Speaker Series Featuring Pincho Factory
DESCRIPTION:(Speakers) Otto Othman and Nedal Ahmad\nOtto Othman and Nedal Ahmad are the co-founders of Pincho Factory\, an award winning and unique concept inspired by street food—Burgers + Kebabs elevated to a modern day experience here in Miami.\nOtto Othman is an Interactive Creative Director\, Serial Entrepreneur and CMO of Pincho Factory. With 15 years of interactive design experience and fluent in 4 languages\, Otto has led multi disciplinary interactive teams on award winning campaigns for clients such as FIAT\, Coca Cola\, Chrysler and Sprint. Otto is the Co-founder of the award winning burgers and kebabs fast casual chain Pincho Factory in Miami. Leveraging its culture\, social media and technology\, Pincho Factory has won the hearts of many guests and has been successful at creating a very loyal following/cult in South Florida.\nHaving spent his childhood in the kitchen with the women in his family\, Nedal Ahmad grew up with not only a passion to cook\, but also to create. Chicago-born and Hialeah-raised\, Ahmad worked in the restaurant business most of his young adult life and honed his talents for cooking from a very young age.\nAt a family barbecue in 2010\, while making his family-famous burgers and taking turns with his cousin Otto Othman – who was grilling up some of his mother’s equally-famous meat and vegetable skewers\, the duo cooked up more than just delicious food. Looking to make changes in their careers\, Ahmad and Othman decided that these simple elements – burgers and kebabs – would make the perfect springboard for a successful fast casual chain. The dream was hatched: to open their own restaurant\, serving delicious burgers and skewers of undeniable quality\, made with the freshest ingredients.\nWith $6.27 left in his bank account and his friends and family by his side\, Ahmad’s journey led to what is now one of South Florida’s most homegrown fast casual success stories. On the heels of its win of the 2015 Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival Amstel Light People’s Choice Award\, Pincho Factory is rapidly expanding its South Florida presence.\nAfter winning the 2015 Food Network Burger bash\, Pincho Factory has grown into 9 locations with 4 more in the works. The brand has ambitious goals to reach 500 locations nationwide in the future.\nTwitter: @PinchoFactory\n(Moderator) TBA\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________\nBrainfood is a monthly\, hands-on discussion with local entrepreneurs who share the secrets of their success.
