A Journey into Creative Problem Solving: Mastering Idea Maturation | Creativity Boosters Episode 12

Welcome back to Creativity Boosters! In this next installment of "The Journey of Creative Problem Solving," we advance beyond idea clarification and ideation to delve into the crucial phase of idea maturation. Building upon our previous episodes, where we navigated through the initial stages of idea clarification and the exploration of potential solutions, we now explore techniques and frameworks to develop and refine the generated ideas. We kick off by exploring an "outside-in" approach to ideation, focusing on a user-centered methodology for developing solutions that resonate with users' needs. You can expect to uncover the power of prototyping as a method to mature ideas, illustrated by Dyson's iterative process of over 5000 attempts for a specific solution and gain insights into the nuances between prototyping and Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). You will learn how to effectively select ideas for maturation, considering parameters such as desirability, feasibility, viability - and maybe loveability? Delve deeper into the importance of desirability as a crucial parameter in idea selection. Join us as we connect the dots between idea clarification, ideation the critical phase of idea maturation. Listen closely to become empowered during this phase of your Creative Problem Solving Journey and let's boost your creativity together!
