FRONT END INNOVATION PROCESS
FRONT END INNOVATION PROCESS Front end product development methods have been on focus because: The costs tend to accelerate when the process continues It would be best to make the mistakes and testing as early as possible Product and service combinations demand complex networks of stakeholders in the development processes
FRONT END INNOVATION PROCESS Complex, competitive, quickly changing world needs rich enough problem space Problematic with many of the process methods because they advice to set a clear definition of the problem But the problem might be what the question really is
FRONT END INNOVATION PROCESS Iterative process through Practical inquiry Exploration Experimentation Feedback Evaluation mental processes require externalisations
FRONT END INNOVATION PROCESS Communications are in a concrete form of visual presentations, drawings and prototypes that help to communicate holistically, in concrete way and for different disciplines to understand easily Even services need to be described and communicated in a rather tangible and for all understandable way, for example, by creating scenarios and social pictures
