How Might We? From Design Challenges to Business Innovation
Authors: Dominik Siemon, Felix Becker, Susanne Robra-Bissantz
Issue: 2018, Vol. 4
Abstract
The successful application of innovation methods for multidisciplinary and decentralized team work is a decisive success factor for organizations. One approach that pursues this goal is Design Thinking, where the "How Might We" method is often used to create a Design Challenge, which serves the development of an initial problem for Design Thinking, User-centered Design or even Design Science Research. In this article we present a digital implementation of this method and an evaluation in a laboratory experiment with a total of 40 participants in terms of effectiveness, usefulness, user-friendliness and intention for further use. Our results show that the digital implementation achieves significantly better results in all areas than a comparable analogue implementation. The decisive criteria for the stronger evaluation of the prototype are a reduced workload due to the implemented algorithm, a better integration of all participants in the process and an almost halved process duration.
Keywords: design thinking, how might we, natural language processing, collaboration.
