Global Rush Hour Seminar
When is the world in rush?
- New global consumer research gives ideas for digital services
Today at 6 pm Finnish time, the world is experiencing a rush hour. The same happened yesterday and it will happen again tomorrow, and the day after. The moment when most of the world's citizens are on the move at the same time is between 6-7 pm Finnish time (GMT +2).
The global rush hour and other observations that drive the development of digital services were outlined in the Mirror project coordinated by Dimes Association. The project used ConsuNaut, a global consumer research method, for uncovering global similarities as well as differences in people’s lives.
