The Project
Becton Dickinson (BD) needed to determine which segment within their new and existing pharma clientele would be best to target for their newly developed med-tech services. My team of 1st-year MBA students and I partnered with BD’s sales team to research and validate BD’s initial proposals via design-driven user synthesis. I was responsible for leading our team’s efforts with design methodologies, from user-centered interviews framework to research synthesis to designing our final poster detailing our work.
