For a sales team to be able to credibly position themselves as the solution to a customer’s business challenges and opportunities, they must first be intimately aware of what is happening in the customer’s organisation, both internally and externally.

In this webinar Didier Koffi  Principal of Pragmaticohesion.com, examines 3 common types of reasoning:

• Deduction, also called logical deduction or, informally, “top-down” logic, is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion. 
• Induction, is reasoning in which the premises seek to supply strong evidence for (not absolute proof of) the truth of the conclusion. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument is probable, based upon the evidence given
• Abduction  is a form of logical inference which goes from an observation to a theory which accounts for the observation, ideally seeking to find the simplest and most likely explanation.

• Deductive Reasoning
• Inductive Reasoning
• Abductive Reasoning
• Requirements Validation
• System Verification
• From Evidence to Hypothesis
• From Solution System Feature to User Need
• Reasoning types across the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
• And an “Illustrative Example”

Didier explores how each of these can each be used to transform user and customer needs into appropriate products and services.
