When every product gets smarter, which durables and special features earn a place in people’s lives?

CIR Durables Earning a place in everyday life-1
We followed real people in the U.S. and U.K. as they lived with their products at home, captured their frustrations in the moment, and sat down with them one-on-one to understand why.
CIR Durables What we plugged into

Here’s what we plugged into:

  • How do consumers really define “smart,” and does it have anything to do with how advanced a product is?
  • Which features become part of everyday routines, and which ones get ignored once the novelty wears off?
  • What are people willing to hand off to technology, and what does it take for them to trust it?
  • What happens when "smart" gets it wrong, and how fast does convenience turn into a new burden?
  • What can brands in any category, from appliances to food, beverage and personal care, learn about building innovation that lasts?
