Now that you and your team can generate many creative ideas, what do you do with them? How can you choose?31

Creativity: less about creating new ideas, more about focusing on a few

“I think my love of idea generation has become an escape hatch… new ideas appear more attractive. And so I quickly jump to something new”

Would you prefer…?

a) A team that generates 100 ideas with 10 of them being greatb) A team that generates 10 ideas with 2 of them being great

New ideas are incomplete; “ugly ducklings” before becoming beautiful swans… they need protection32

“It then took me 5,127 prototypes to develop the final machine, each failed prototype

informing the next one”

“I'd seen an industrial sawmill, which uses something called a cyclonic separator to remove dust from the air. I thought the same principle of

separation might work on a vacuum cleaner. I rigged up a quick prototype, and it did.

I became obsessed. It took five years of doing nothing but making and testing prototypes. My wife supported us by teaching art. She was

wonderful. But most other people thought I was mad.”

Address causes, not symptomsApply technology appropriately

Reveal new ways of thinking about problemsInvolve a wide variety of stakeholders

Concept variation

Build models and prototypes of new ideas35

Why prototype?

• Manage uncertainty• Make assumptions explicit

• Learn a specific feature or property

• Evaluate in realistic conditions• Gather feedback and support for change

• Communicate decisions and intentions

• Open the ideation process• Safety and ergonomics

• Test desirability, viability, and feasibility
