• To understand a theory of creativity.
• Synthesis is the act of making sense of what
  weve seen and heard during the observations.
  Synthesis takes us from inspiration to ideas,
  from stories to strategic directions. By
  aggregating, editing and condensing what weve
  learned, synthesis enables us to establish a new
  perspective and identify opportunities for
  innovation.
• Brainstorming with rules like Defer Judgment and
  Build on the Ideas of Others is a proven
• method for coming up with unexpected innovations.
  Brainstorming makes us think expansively and
  without constraints. The practice of generating
  truly impractical solutions often sparks ideas
  that are relevant and reasonable. It may require
  generating 100 ideas (many of which are mediocre)
  in order to come up with three truly
  inspirational solutions.
• Prototyping is a method for making solutions
  tangible in a rapid and low-investment way. Its
  a proven technique for quickly learning how to
  design an offering right and for accelerating the
  process of rolling out solutions to the world.
  Prototyping is about building to think,
  acknowledging that the process of making ideas
  real and tangible helps us to refine and iterate
  the ideas very quickly. Creating many different
  prototypes that highlight different aspects of
  your product or service not only enables people
  to give honest feedback, but also prevents the
  team from getting
• attached to an idea prematurely.
• Feedback is critical to the design process. It
  brings the constituents directly back into the
  design process. Feedback inspires further
  iterations to make solutions more compelling for
  constituents.

ROUGH, RAPID, RIGHT Prototypes are not
precious. They should be built as quickly and
cheaply as possible.
BUILD TO THINK Prototypes are disposable tools
used throughout the concept development process,
both to validate ideas and to help generate more
ideas. Prototypes are a powerful form of
communication and force us to think in realistic
terms about how someone would interact with the
concept.
ANSWERING QUESTIONS It is essential to know what
question a prototype is being used to answer, for
example about desirability, usefulness,
usability, viability, or feasibility.
