6. Three Selected Ideas
• The most practical idea: #1 & #2 (Update CV & send it to Universities at
USA to ask for a job of research fellow). This is the obvious solution to this
problem. My stakeholder has been working as research fellow for years
and she should look for a similar job now. It is an easy solution, and she
can have the support of her professional network.
• The most disruptive idea: #50 (Create a company in the collaborative
consumption market, focused on providing these services in her
neighborhood at USA). Collaborative consumption is a new trend at USA,
so the idea is not disruptive by itself, it is disruptive applied to my
stakeholder as it implies a huge change of job type for her!!
• My favorite idea: #52 (Design an on-line game to teach people how to
take care of their pets). Gamification is a new trend both in business and
learning, and I love it!
