Study Notes

Innovation Process

The process involves creating job stories, which are similar to user stories, to understand customer needs and wants.
The goal is to think outward about external forces that inspire transformation in the future and clarify customer needs.

Job Stories

Job stories are defined as single sentences that describe a customer's motivation and desired outcome in a specific situation.
The framework for job stories is: "When I ____, I want to ____ so that I can ____."
Examples of job stories include:
- When traveling with family, I want to ensure we have everything we need so that we don't have to buy things when we get there.
- When traveling internationally, I want to feel like I have enough so that I can feel like a local and not a tourist.

Ideation Process

The ideation process involves priming the audience, inspiring imagination, and connecting ideas to create solutions.
The process includes activities such as "Heroes and Villains" exercise to get creative juices flowing.
The goal is to invent solutions that make customers feel like superheroes.

Inspiration Invasion

The goal is to encourage breakthrough innovation by riffing on existing ideas and applying them to the problem.

Futurecast

The goal is to capture ideas and encourage participants to highlight the most compelling insights.

Meet the Customer

The goal is to use the discovery process and conclusions as a point of inspiration for the attendees.
Participants should report out in a way that illuminates the needs and opportunities of the customer.
