In a world of Big Bang Disruption, the need for learning organisations is greater than ever. Businesses need to develop people so they are able to continuously solve new problems, rather than focussing on implementing solutions to previous problems. This presentation explores how heuristics can be used to enable this problem solving capability. It introduces a set questions which can be used to encourage creative thinking from multiple perspectives, from understanding the problems, to imagining the desired impacts and then designing potential interventions.

- 40. Background: What do you want to learn and why? Frame the Experiment: What is your Problem Statement? Write the Problem Statement from the Define worksheet here. What pain or problem is being experienced? [Customer Segment] needs a way to [describe job to be done], (because|but|surprisingly) [describe insight]. Hypothesis to Test [Specific repeatable action] will create [expected result]. Is this hypothesis falsifiable? Experiment Details Describe the experiment you plan to run and how you are going to attempt to falsify your hypothesis. Safety: How is the experiment safe to run? Describe how the experiment is safe to run. Describe how you will recover from running the experiment upon completion or if you discover it isn’t safe to run. Measures What will you measure to invalidate your hypothesis? What will you measure to indicate the experiment is safe to run? What will you measure to indicate you should amplify the experiment? Measures can be Qualitative and Quantitative. Experiment Backlog Stack ranked list of actions needed to run the experiment. Next Steps: Given what you learned, what’s next? Experiment Results and Learnings Describe what you learned from the experiment? Did you invalidate your hypothesis or does it live on? Experiment Name: Owner: Mentor: Date: V 1.0
