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 […]
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 […]
In Stockholms stad we are starting an Idea Hub. It’s a tool for employees. It works as a hub supports the organization during the idea process, to help get means to projects, to pin point obstacles for innovation and to spread good ideas through the organization. The Idea Hub is yet a project and not […]
The financial fund business often generates idea listening to their lead users. Lead users are professional investors that understand the need of diversifying the risks hence the expected return. The higher the expected return, the higher the risk. Financial institutions usually diversify their products (i.e. funds) according to risk (and as a consequence the expected […]
When looking at Idea/Concept refinement, there is an overall flow that could be described as this: information -> comprehension-> pattern recognition -> simplification -> evaluation (but a loop, as the evaluation lead to new information) This loop will occur both during the problem definition phase, as well as the solution definition phase, but seeing as […]
Once an idea has been generated, the idea needs to be molded before it is assessed and implemented. Idea refinement can be carried out in many different ways. For this module, I found the article by Sukhov (2016) particularly beneficial. By breaking the idea into different elements, the innovators can refine each of the elements […]
The idea refinement stage of ideation is a process of further developing and refining the idea generated so that it can easily be understood and be ready for the next step. The idea refinement process might involve people with different knowledge and competence which; on one hand, this can be seen as helpful; as the […]
Idea refinement iterations will lead to an innovative and implemented solution if indeed the design problem is initially understood. This is reflected in the article by Dorst et al. (2001) who investigated the creativity & design quality for a new litter disposal service on new model Dutch trains. They state “the more time a subject […]
