You have to build a system to cultivate impactful ideas consistently.
I will share a 4-part framework that you can use to cultivate ideas.
1. Idea generation
2. Idea selection
3. Idea validation
4. Idea implementation
The following threads will cover the remaining 3 parts to cultivate ideas.
Lateral thinking is key - first, diverge & then converge.
Overview:
Reframe problems into well-defined & clear "How might we.." statements.
This prioritises intention over tech/process.
But 1st, it is very important to be at the right problem level.
Our customers don't order pizza.
GO NARROW:
Ask "what's stopping you?" to get to the real problem.
What's stopping customers from ordering pizza?
- stale toppings?
- bad sauce?
Problem statement:
How might we ensure that the pizza toppings are fresh?
Use the 5 Whys framework to get to the real problem.
Why don't customers order pizza?
- Unhealthy?
- Expensive?
Problem statement:
How might we help customers pick our pizza?
@dklineii explains this framework well:

Root Cause Analysis (aka The 5 Whys) is a common consulting tactic.

But it can actually fuel personal development.
I've run 100's of these sessions and learned one key truth:
The 6th Why is the one that matters \U0001f9f5
Validate the problem with at least 5-10 people who face it, understand the nuances.
Frame a proper "How Might We" statement.
Don't proceed until you have the problem statement figured out properly, spend enough time!
This phase is all about avoiding errors of omission.
Follow as many lines of thought as possible to generate a large list of solutions to the problem.
Expand & go wider. Don't exclude anything.
All ideas are good ideas.
Defer judgment.
1. Mindmapping - Branch out with relations
2. SCAMPER model - Which elements can you Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Minify/Magnify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse?
3. Business model canvas - What can you add/remove in each box of the BMC?
You've effectively improved the odds of having a great idea somewhere in that list.
The point is to ensure that you get high quality & impactful ideas by forcing a high quantity of ideas.
Hence, quality through quantity.
This phase is all about avoiding errors of commission.
Think of this stage as a funnel.
Apply judgement & find relations between ideas.
Analyse your list of ideas & bucket similar ideas into categories.
- meeting user needs
- effort to develop
- impact on the customer
Involve decision makers & discuss the top 10-20 ideas.
Feedback is key.
Pick ideas, maintain a list & review it every 3-4 months.
1. Diversity in the team is extremely useful.
Assemble people with different:
- perspectives
- problem-solving styles
- mindsets (introverted & extroverted)
- proximity to the problem
- expertise (cross-functional & subject matter)
- we already tried that
- our competitors failed at it
- it's ahead of its time
- seems complicated, etc
3. Define the thought process - accommodate people who ideate within constraints & without.
5. Communicate upwards about the idea generation system.
Present your ideas properly to get buy-ins:
- Explain the problem
- Explain the process
- Introduce selected ideas/solutions
Tip: Lobby votes beforehand.

More from Learning
📚 Many influential business figures, including @JeffBezos, @ElonMusk, and @BillGates. say they learned some of their most important lessons from books.

Some of Bezos' favorite books were instrumental to the creation of products and services like the Kindle and Amazon Web Services.
One of those is Walmart founder Sam Walton’s autobiography in which he recalls his career.
https://t.co/rhjcI1z3JC
This Kazuo Ishiguro novel tells of an English butler in wartime England who begins to question his lifelong loyalty to his employer while on a vacation.
Bezos has said of the book, "Before reading it, I didn't think a perfect novel was possible."

Following @BAUDEGS I have experienced hateful and propagandist tweets time after time. I have been shocked that an academic community would be so reckless with their publications. So I did some research.

Is this an official account for Bahcesehir Uni (Bau)?
Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website https://t.co/ztzX6uj34V which links to their social media, leading to their Twitter account @Bahcesehir

BAU has many departments, which all have separate accounts. Nowhere among them did I find @BAUDEGS

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
