Ideate to come up with questions that explore different strategies for meeting this need.
The point here is to use divergent thinking to explore the widest range of potential strategies before converging a specific strategy to develop in detail.
- How might we design the product so that it catches one's eye and is easy to remember?
- How might we make the product as easy to use as possible?
- How might we make the product aesthetically pleasing?
- How might we market the product to make it easier for those like Susan who aren't strictly monitoring sustainability news to find it?
- How might we create a reminder system (blaring lights, noise)?
