User Insights Cloud Launch: Centou and the Insight Dictionary
In a groundbreaking initiative,
alma, a Tokyo-based company, has officially launched
Centou, Japan's first-ever Insight Management Cloud. This platform is designed to make understanding user insights enjoyable and collaborative. A significant highlight of this launch is the publication of the
Insight Dictionary, a meticulously curated collection of case studies that illustrate how various businesses leverage user insights for growth.
Understanding the Insight Dictionary
The
Insight Dictionary serves as a comprehensive compilation of user insight-driven business growth stories from both domestic and international markets. It dives deep into the question: "What kind of user insights were addressed, and how was growth achieved?" By analyzing a variety of services and products, this resource aims to clarify the often abstract and vague concept of user insights through relatable narratives.
For instance, the dictionary explores intriguing case studies, such as:
- - Why the 'Stories' feature on Instagram disappears after 24 hours?
- - What draws numerous women and celebrities to the ramen restaurant 'Ichiran'?
- - Lessons from a failure due to intense competition fixation?
Each of these examples presents a unique story of user insights that can help teams better understand how these insights translate into successful business strategies.

Centou is not just a repository of information; it is an innovative platform that helps businesses manage customer insights acquired from various sources such as user interviews and customer support. With Centou, companies utilizing the platform have reported remarkable results, such as reducing unused feature development leading to a monthly cost reduction of

Key Features of Centou
