This assignment is connected to The Innovator’s DNA book. Focus on practicing select innovative discovery skills identified within the book.
Identify at least five observations (try using other senses in addition to
what you see) of a current product or service that you wish was improved or a frustrating situation that you wish had a solution which has not been created yet.
MY TOPIC: How to lower retirement age (for the USA)
Then think of three new ideas to solve this challenge using the skill of association (linking the previously unlinked).
Pick one of those ideas and then using the skill of experimentation, design and construct a prototype of a product or service (building physically, sketching or virtually) you would like to improve or you some new product or service that is needed but not yet designed.
Deliverable is giving a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation of discoveries. If you could write the speech/presentation in the form of a paper I can create the PowerPoint based on that.
