Page 2: Winovation credential

Every marketer faces a market truth that:- Products are increasingly

commoditized- Market is hence more & more

competitive

Brands are pushed to come up with new news quickly and product life cycle is shortened

INNOVATION WINS!

And obviously, the first and upmost important step for a proper product innovation is to generate new ideas

IDEATION COMES FIRST!

The first time to bring in all 3 different perspectives:1) Consumers’ new ideas from first

hand usage angle – a reflection of needs, actual usage experiences, common beliefs and attitudes…

2) Art & Design Professionals as the “engine” of creativity with their talents and skills in creation

3) Client Side Professionals to contribute based on their profound knowledge of the product category and also a balancing power of creativity vs. feasibility

Definition of participants:- Consumers

-A friendship pair-At least one of them is heavy and involved user of the product; the other one at least non-rejector

-Art & Design Professional-Student or part-timer or freelancer in any art and design

-At least non-rejector of the product-Client Side Professional

THE QUAD

Page 9: Winovation credential

A sharing session by the Consumers (and probably by the Art & Design Professional) on needs & wants, usage experiences, dissatisfactions & unmet needs, related knowledge, belief and attitude

Also an interactive process for Client Side Professional to understand target consumers

Achieving an alignment on key, basic understanding as the food for thoughts to carry on

THE INSIGHT

Page 10: Winovation credential

It is true that good ideas can come anytime and all in a sudden, anywhere and out of nowhere

However, with specific task force formed, we have to make sure the participants able to unleash their creativity at the specific time and place

Hence, we have developed our own approach to stimulate creativity in 5 different directions

Through proper introduction of the directions, examples sharing and probing, moderator helps the task force to start their “creative engine”

Direction 4: Perfectioning

Things are not never perfect in our world and perhaps a very common experience:

When you eat a nice dish in a restaurant – “Ah, it would just perfect if it could be more spicy…” or;

When you buy a nice coat – “Ah, it would just be perfect if it could trim a little bit on the waist line…”

A free flow of thoughts to change, add-on or disregard some details, accessories

The desire to IMPROVE & CUSTOMIZE for oneself

THE IDEATION

Direction 5: Crossing Over / Fusion

A desire to EXPERIEMENT
