Scrap The Manual

a podcast where we prompt “aha” moments through discussions of tech, creativity, and experimentation to address business and cultural challenges

Concepting, designing, and prototyping to solve
problems and create exceptional experiences

Summary

Technology is an exciting field, but it has its challenges too. For the everyday marketer, creator, or developer, it can often be confusing or tough to keep up with—not to mention filled with buzzwords aplenty that leave people wondering, “So, what now?” That’s why Rushali Paratey and I decided to launch Scrap the Manual. We have a range of episode types to keep things interesting, from "Challenge the Hosts", "Labs Reports", "How Do We Do This?" and more yet to be released. Topics range from The Metaverse to Automotive and Privacy, and everything in between. You can listen and subscribe on Anchor, Spotify, Apple Podcast, among others. Find transcripts on labs.monks.com.

Users input the furniture model, confirm its correct, verify that all parts are present, then begin assembly.

One of the biggest pain point for users was getting half-way through assembly and realizing they missed a crucial part and have to call customer service and stop their assembly groove. By having an onboarding process confirming everything before assembly starts, it helps address possible situations that might take the user out of the assembly process.
