Avoid Zoom’s mistake! Understand your customers’ expectations

Zoom has been my go-to online meeting tool for years because it’s easier to use than competitors. So I was surprised recently when they screwed up so many privacy and security issues. It reminded me of some of the case studies I wrote about in my book, Why We Fail. My theory: our standards for privacy and security increased significantly in the past several years, particularly due to companies such as Apple who made it a strategic issue, and Zoom missed this shift. It looks like they’re moving swiftly to remedy the situation, but hopefully they don’t throw out the baby (usability) with the bathwater (dirty privacy practices). My video explains more.
