  12.  
  13. Intel
    • Green Homeowners as Lead Adopters
  14. What People Say They Do and What They Do Are Different
  15. The Business Case for User-Driven Innovation
    • Unprecedented specialization and segmentation , multiplied many times over by domestic and international cultural diversity.
  16. The Value of the Use Case
    • Entrepreneurs can neither assume that they are socially or culturally close to users nor that they can keep up with consumer trends themselves – unless they seek user-centered insights.
  17. Increased Competition
    • Increased competition from emerging economies
    • Companies can no longer rely on the advantages of being the first to introduce new technologies to the market.
  18. Democratization of Knowledge
    • The democratization of knowledge , driven by the internet and information technology in general
    • Armed with lots of information and the ability to buy from companies all over the globe, consumers no longer consider the price/quality trade-off as the sole driver of choice.
  19. Democratization of Knowledge
    • Instead, consumers increasingly consider how a company and its products match their own personal values, behaviors and needs.
    • To get at this, successful companies must include users in the innovation process .
  20. Just to Stay Solvent
    • As Squires and Byrne put it: “…companies have to manufacture the right commodities and deliver them in the right way to the right consumers at least four out of ten times every year – just to stay solvent” (Squires and Byrne 2002:xiv).
    • Traditional R&D departments and entrepreneurs with their own views on “what people want” can no longer keep up with the reality of rapidly evolving needs and desires.
  21. THE ASSIGNMENT
    • 1) Conduct some sort of “inductive observation”,
    • 2) analyze your notes, then
    • 3) expand those notes into a brief report about what you found.
    • DESCRIPTION
      • Rather than looking into a completely innovative idea (service or product), the goal is to 1) observe something that already works; 2) observe it in great detail; then 3) begin to understand it in such detail that you can 4) make concrete suggestions about improving it. 
    • In Other Words
      • Rather than looking for how consumers COULD use a NEW service/product, the goal is to observe how consumers DO use a EXISTING service/product with the intention of looking for opportunities to improve or “add value” to that experience.
    • Steps
      • 1. Find a routine, taken-for-granted task/service/product,
      • 2. “Hang out” and “thickly describe” it in a notebook, 
      • 3. In a one page pitch , suggest some sort of innovation that will add value. DUE: Friday October 16 th by midnight. Submit by attached MS Word Document to theanthroguys @ gmail.com .
      • The best observations will be published on our blog and presented in class on October 21 st .
