Notes on slide 1

Welcome, today we’ll talk about ideation for designing effective website. We’ll show you how we think to be more effective during brainstorm sessions.

Question: What’s the most used functionality of the internet?

The back-button...

It’s not strange that it’s the most used functionality, check this...

This is really helpful.

Who can read this? Fact: Did you know that 8% of the male population has color-blindness?

Where to press? As soon you see stickers on a machine, beware! Serious usability issues to come ;-)

Not towel? Turn button on the right... In our own Concept7 building (seriously, in the toilet for handicapped people...).

Frustration

At Concept7 we want tackle these issues, so more people will reach the finish. Conversion is our goal.

We do this for...

What’s our secret? Understand them, act upon that and they’ll love you.

MBTI as a framework for knowing your customers. Competitive, Spontaneous, Methodical and Humanistic personality traits. Beware, it’s a just a starting point, not a goal.

MBTI principles on Amazon.com. This is how they manage the reach conversion rates up to 15%.

Your goal for today. Now it’s your turn.

How to do this, generate as many ideas as possible. Why? Because an idea costs nearly nothing. Chances are bigger for finding the best ideas and make others think.

Visual cues are better understandable, they are stickier and easier to find back. When we say you have to sketch your ideas, most people say, ‘I can’t draw...’, ‘I’m not so artistic...’ or ‘I’m not a visual kind of person’...

Can you draw a square?

Can you draw a circle?

Can you draw an arrow?

Can you draw a triangle?

Then you can draw this. A sketch of YouTube’s player. Did you know Google paid more than a billion dollars for aquiring YouTube?

Share your ideas early and often so others will be inspired as well. If I say brainstorming, what is it that you think about first?

You have to think outside the box if you want to be creative, don’t you?

How about we asked you to come up with an idea for a new succesful company within 20 minutes. Very difficult isn’t it?

What do Lego, Haagen-Dazs and Spiderman have in common?

They all have the same business-idea. ‘Make a children-product interesting for adults.

Fifteen more products with the same philosophy. Is this outside the box thinking?

We think not... It’s inside the box, they all took something that children love and turned into an adult product.

This is your framework for today, MBTI. Competitive, Spontaneous, Methodical and Humanistic personality traits will all be served durning our brainstorm session.

First we come up with as many ideas as possible, diverge. We’re only critical on quantity here. In a later stadium we will be concerned about the quality of ideas (converge). We’ll pick the right ideas for the concept then.

The jury decides on which concept is the most simple, fun and took most advantage from the MBTI principles.

Brainstorm rules, bad ideas don’t exist, focus on the challenge, keep the momentum going, show and tell.
