SXSW 2019
Predicting the Consequences of Your New Innovation
Description:
With user-centered frameworks like design thinking, ever more intelligent user analytics and the tools to prototype, test, learn and repeat more accessible than ever, we are inundated with the means to ensure our innovations will meet their main objectives.
But what about the unintentional consequences of our innovations? What if we could predict those and use our knowledge to jump further ahead? What if we could stop our competitors benefiting from our mistakes? or avoid unintended outcomes?
I will present a framework for envisaging the second- and third-order impacts of our innovations and demonstrate through example scenarios how we can integrate our learnings to produce better products and services.
