INNOVATION
Design Thinking
People• Will people like it?• Will this creation improve
people’s life?• What makes sense to
people and for people?
Technology• Can we make it?• Is it feasible to produce?• What is functionally
possible within the foreseeable future?
Business• Can it be economically
viable?• Does it make business
sense?• What is likely to become
part of a sustainable business model?
