Concept – Ambient Society

Concept Development

Finding your validated value proposition and service design is what concept development is all about. You have to understand the jobs to be done by prospective customers, and you need to validate them. Conceptualising around a business model, discovering potential value streams end-to-end, and iteratively validating these. Doing this, the Lean Start-up way, using Design Thinking and Business Model Generation has proven to be a successful way forward. To help you move the needle, we have a proven way of need-finding in customer validation and fast-track development forward.

Why should you do this?

Are you experiencing that your business development not to say your innovation is too slow or does not get through in your organisation? Do you perceive that you are constantly in a catch-up mode? Do you perceive that ideas are realized too slowly or are irrelevant or do not meet the expectations when delivered? If you answer yes to any of these questions, you might consider working in a different way.

Doing something that you have not done before is all about exploration, discovery, and validation. Before you make big plans, you need to know more. An idea unproven is no more than a hypothesis. This can be applied to everything you have never done before. Just because someone else has done it before does not mean that you can do it as well. The likelihood that your context is different is obvious, as you probably will say your organisation is special.

Are you serious about innovation, speed of need-finding, and customer development, you should consider talking to Ambient Society.
