A future press release can help focus the team on the desired outcome
• What is your product called? • What’s specifically launching on this (imaginary) day? • Who is your product for? • What user pain are you targeting? • Why, in your own voice, did you make this product? • What will the customer’s perspective be? • What makes this product extraordinary? • How would your favorite customer describe the experience of the product?
• State of the problem & customer definition • Overview of solution & customer definition • Details of the solution • Why we did this, in our own voice • Why customers love it, in their voice • How customers get started using it
• This is a structure format, not an open-ended creative writing exercise
• Write in accessible language, no acronyms • Incorporate quotes from real people, including
yourself • Keep it to one page or shorter • Positive in tone, not "finally we fixed..." or "now this
doesn't suck" • Avoids competitive comparisons, but emphasize
differentiators • Think sketching - a balance between compelling and
throwaway

Ideation
“Ideation is the mode of the design process in which you concentrate on idea generation. Mentally it represents a process of “going wide” in terms of concepts and outcomes. Ideation provides both the fuel and also the source material for building prototypes and getting innovative solutions into the hands of your users.”

Customer Experience
Design Thinking
Ideation Principles
Build on each others’ ideas. It’s easy to kill an idea, so especially in the early stages, systematically follow up ideas with, “yes, and” instead of shooting them down with “no, but” comments.
Customer Experience
Design Thinking
Ideation Principles
Generate lots of ideas. At this point quantity over quality, so really let loose. Time to grab a pile of sticky notes or your favorite note-taking app. The best way to have a great idea is to have many ideas.
Customer Experience
Design Thinking
Ideation Principles
Write headlines. Being able to describe an idea in less than six words helps you clarify it. Imagine your favorite media outlet or magazine covers your great idea: What would you want to read?
Customer Experience
Design Thinking
Ideation Principles
Illustrate. Pictures are usually louder than words and harder to misinterpret.
Customer Experience
Design Thinking
Ideation Principles
Think big. Invite bold, intrepid ideas–yes, this is the “10x” part–not incremental solutions.“Just beyond crazy is fabulous!”
Customer Experience
Design Thinking
Ideation Principles
Defer Judgement. Don’t judge ideas in the midst of brainstorming (remember Rule #1) but let them grow so you can build on them and iterate.
