Empathize
This step is the problem finding path to apply the process. The spotter must empathize with the crowd having the problem as in most of the cases it isn’t one’s own problems that is being solved. This helps in understanding the WHY’s WHAT’s HOW’s and WHERE’s of the problem.
Define
This is where the problem statement is defined and formulated so that solutions can be found out using various other techniques.
Ideate
Now the problem is identified, defined and a solution is to be thought of. Hence this is where a solution is proposed and ways are put forward to find the fix. At this stage it is very important not to elide the already existing solutions (if any) but rather use them to unfold a better result.
Prototype & Test
What are you waiting for? You’ve found a solution to the problem to be solved. Isn’t it time to build the solution and test it initially before making improvements, initiate production and make an impact? If your answer is YES then yeah, GO ON !!! START and Change the NOW. Here taking feedbacks and improving upon them plays a vital role
Implement
Now its time to shed some light to the world with your solution.
This process is followed by entrepreneurs these days to build a great product and now you can also follow suit and create an impact.
