Future Products UNDERSTAND > CREATE > DELIVER To understand a theory of creativity. Synthesis is the act of making sense of what we’ve seen and heard during the observations. Synthesis takes us from inspiration to ideas, from stories to strategic directions. By aggregating, editing and condensing what we’ve learned, synthesis enables us to establish a new perspective and identify opportunities for innovation. Brainstorming with rules like Defer Judgment and Build on the Ideas of Others is a proven method for coming up with unexpected innovations. Brainstorming makes us think expansively and without constraints. The practice of generating truly impractical solutions often sparks ideas that are relevant and reasonable. It may require generating 100 ideas (many of which are mediocre) in order to come up with three truly inspirational solutions. Prototyping is a method for making solutions tangible in a rapid and low-investment way. It’s a proven technique for quickly learning how to design an offering right and for accelerating the process of rolling out solutions to the world. Prototyping is about building to think, acknowledging that the process of making ideas real and tangible helps us to refine and iterate the ideas very quickly. Creating many different prototypes that highlight different aspects of your product or service not only enables people to give honest feedback, but also prevents the team from getting attached to an idea prematurely. Feedback is critical to the design process. It brings the constituents directly back into the design process. Feedback inspires further iterations to make solutions more compelling for constituents.

Future Products UNDERSTAND > CREATE > DELIVER (3) Learning objectives: - To create a range of prototypes. Task: Rank these prototypes in the level of ‘finished-ness’

Future Products UNDERSTAND > CREATE > DELIVER To create a range of prototypes. BUILD TO THINK: Prototypes are disposable tools used throughout the concept development process, both to validate ideas and to help generate more ideas. Prototypes are a powerful form of communication and force us to think in realistic terms about how someone would interact with the concept. ROUGH, RAPID, RIGHT: Prototypes are not precious. They should be built as quickly and cheaply as possible. ANSWERING QUESTIONS: It is essential to know what question a prototype is being used to answer, for example about desirability, usefulness, usability, viability, or feasibility.
