Off the Rails Episode 99: One Brochure Away from Success

Recorded November 15, 2024

(Still AI slop that needs editing for coherence - cjd)

Can you feel the tension of an impending finale?

As we approach the century mark, we review the perils of product development to the disconnect between manufacturers and end users. Shaun shares his insider perspective on how manufacturers prioritize product ideas, the role of software in AV, and the importance of customer feedback in shaping the future of technology.

We also explore the pitfalls of one-size-fits-all design guides, the frustrations of dealing with outdated solutions, and the ever-present struggle of procurement versus integration.
