When an idea has been shaped and molded, the idea needs to be screened before it is implemented. This screening, or idea assessment, can be carried out in many ways. In some industries, these assessments are made through rigorous processes and evaluation criteria. Such evaluation processes may include criteria such as return on investment, profitability, […]

In reading about the quick and slow ways of assessing ideas, I realize how much I depend on my “gut feeling”. It was quite unsettling. When I went through and assessed the ideas in the idea generator, I certainly had my favorites and even some gag reflex when reading others. I remembered reading Chesbrough and […]
Valet av metod för urval behöver utgå från vad är man ute efter, utveckling av befintligt eller något radikalt nytt? Min erfarenhet är att när man pratar om idéutveckling i praktiken då är det framförallt de radikala idéer man är ute efter. De inkrementella idéerna utvecklas mer löpande i verksamheten ofta utan en omfattande eller […]
This module and it’s literature made me reflect on how idea assessment is commonly approached in my experience. It feels like a wonderful opportunity to think about – and maybe even assess – these processes that rarely are discussed in this in depth manner. In my (previous) experience many ideas in the day to day […]
Idea assessment is the process of screening the ideas which have passed the refinement stage for further decision making in the innovation process. Magnusson et al. (2014), in their study they explained that being the first in the market really does matter for a company working on new product development; increasing the pace of a […]
I found the assignment of assessing the ideas quite interesting and easy as the criteria were already provided. Nevertheless, we had all criteria available, I had to use my intuitive and critical thinking to be able to give a grade on each of them. This to be said, I think intuition and rational decision making […]
Idea Screening is a tool, which used to assess all the ideas being generated in an organization. There are new ideas being generated every day, both from our colleagues and from the people around us. In order, to choose the ideas which best suits us and our Company, we must screen the ideas being generated. […]
My experience in Idea refinement is reading through all the ideas submitted in the course blog on idea refinement and read the literature articles on how to refine the ideas. I have gotten many good instights into what idea refine is and what it is used for in a company. Idea refinement is a concept […]

Idea screening is an act of intuition and analyzation, both system 1 and system 2. You use your experiences at the same time as you put up criteria to screen and assess ideas. Only using criteria can probably not be done exept your intuition. My experience is that one way of screening ideas is to […]
When looking through the ideas to screen I realize I am very biased to what I believe would work for myself, thus not talking into consideration that many of the ideas target the general population and not solely academics or students. I also noticed that even though I liked an idea and it could be […]
Now we are halfway through the fourth module and it is time to start assessing ideas that have been refined from the previous module. Based on this and from your experience share your thoughts on this matter in the blog. For more information please see the instructions for the module and also the “guide” for […]
The process of setting an idea can be fun, easy and a creative experience. Refining the idea can be the opposite. That is my experience. Often when an idea is set you need a diversity of people to refine the idea. That can lead to slow down the process, because the image of the idea […]
