“Everybody has great ideas…Ideas are easy! Don’t get too hung up on your BIG idea, be ready to throw it into the bin….and start again.” These were the famous words of Adam Lawrence, one of the co-authors of This is Service Design Doing book. Even though in this section we will be generating ideas for our problem, the real proof will be in making these ideas tangible and testing them later. Many people in business get obsessed with ideas. But they never test them first and that’s how many products and services fail. Let’s start with learning how to come up with ideas!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Let’s try and be bold and go for wild ideas! Sometimes what may seem ridiculous may be actually brilliant! Don’t judge your thinking, just do it without worrying about what others will think. This method is called a mash up – combining concepts from different aspects of life and broadening your ideas’ reach.<\/h4>\n

Let’s think about various categories<\/u> in our lives in which we engage with a variety of services and products. Are there any ideas from these categories that may relate to the problem:<\/h4>\n
