What you will be able to do

  • Spot a poorly met need, by watching what people do rather than what they say.
  • Put a clear promise into words, who for, what need, what changes.
  • Build a minimal prototype, and write down a bet that reality can settle.
  • Draw a precise lesson from a disappointing test, and adjust.
  • Lift the barriers to adoption, then scale up something new.

Who it is for

For anyone who has spotted an unmet need and wants to turn an idea into a practical solution. The method works whatever your job: at a front desk, in a workshop, at a patient's bedside, behind a screen, on a building site or at the head of a team. The module follows a new service launched by a neighbourhood laundry, but the exercises and the exam put you in many other situations.
