“If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.”
Product Innovation: Unleashing the Magic of Design Thinking
Creating successful products isn't solely about having great ideas; it's about understanding the problem thoroughly—essentially, falling in love with the problem five times. As a product innovator, I have learned to embrace genuine customer challenges, guiding teams to explore these issues deeply to ensure we are addressing the right ones. I utilize the '5 Whys Technique' as my framework, but I prefer the phrase, "Fall in love with the problem five times," to emphasize the importance of deep engagement in product design.
Empowering Product Trios: From Discovery to Success
I empower product design teams to actively engage with challenges, conduct continuous user interviews, uncover valuable insights, and pursue bold experiments. By providing customized templates, processes, and tools, I help keep teams focused and motivated, reducing the risk of burnout. Great teams don't just create good products; when empowered, design teams develop highly successful products.
