Problems
How & where to find problems of users, clients,…
Observe how people create 

workarounds to fix (small) frustra8ons,
or temporary solu8ons,…


It could indicate there is a bigger 

problem to solve!
example: airport context, not losing things.
“people take pics of their own car, 

in large parkings to help them retrieve their car
a7er 2 weeks.”
example: airport context, not losing things.
“The shoes of this girl make a sound at every
step to help her parents not lose her in the
crowd.”
example: airport context, not losing things.
“Do you no?ce how people are struggling with
the same black suitcases? How to fix this?”
Look around you, every day you can easily spot 

+10 problems that need a beTer solu;on.
People discuss ‘problems’ on specialized Q/A plaZorms.
Browse to find similar pains that beg for a solu8on.
example: “How to + Invoicing” 

on quora.com
example: 

“/r/invoicing” on Reddit.com
Track what people search for via

Keyword monitor services

e.g. hTp://keywordtool.io
Filter on ‘Youtube’. Many use

this plaQorm to find video guides

on how to solve specific problems.
Browse ‘guides’ websites on how to

fix & repair products.
e.g. instructables.com e.g. ifixit.com

Your Assets
Explore how you could re-use your exis8ng assets,

but in a different context.
3 op;ons 

How your own assets of your company
can lead to new ideas & revenue streams:
Sharing Alt Use Create
The most obvious, but least exci;ng way:
Make some of your own resources/assets

available to others + ask for rent or other reward.
example: construc@on industry
Via plaForms like anyquip.com companies can

rent out their assets that are idle or unused.
Sharing Alt Use Create
Find an alterna;ve use:
Let others access your assets for a different purpose.
example: Logis@cs & Pharma
Leverage the global distribu?on network of
Coca-Cola to distribute live-saving medicine to

the most rural areas. Coca-cola is everywhere!
Sharing Alt Use Create
example: Logis@cs
The US Postal office has equipped some of their
trucks with cameras & sensors to monitor noise
levels, pavement,… to offer to the local city.
example: Smart city
Some ci?es re-use their ‘trash cans’ to monitor
crowd density by integra?on of wifi sensors to
track smartphones nearby.
Most difficult op;on:
Use your exis8ng assets (+ new assets) to create something

new that could be valorized.
Sharing Alt Use Create
example: Byproducts from Cereal
An easy starter is to focus on “waste” that your
assets already create. An addi?onal process step
could make your “waste” valuable to others.
Trends
Spot changes in consumer behaviour & society in general

that could impact your industry.
It’s not your goal to predict the future.
Just use Trends & Forecasts to ask beTer “what if” ques;ons:
Time
example: “What if consumers only trust companies that 

are fully transparent about their supply chain?”
Example tool (basic insights)
trends.google.com/trends/explore
Example: Rising interest for “parental leave” in Germany

History
You don’t need to re-invent everything. Old ideas, in a new
context can trigger new opportuni8es!
Old ideas? 

Ask yourself, why didn’t it work at that 8me?

What can we do be`er today?
1967 2017
Browse old (failed) patents on patents.google.com 

Some8mes a patent is not the right solu8on yet, 

but indicates there is at least a relevant problem to solve.
1994
Hands-free pet carrier
NYC Subway Bans Dogs

Unless They Fit into a Bag.2016
S?ll no decent solu?on yet…
1948 Tucker Sedan
Way ahead of compe??on, 1948 Tucker
Sedan has incorporated seat belts, disc
brakes & fuel injec?on. 50 cars were
produced and it was considered a failed
product. 10 years later it became common
prac?ce.
Bar codes

Invented in 1948, but they only became
popular in the late six?es. What inven?ons of
10y ago could be commercialized today?
Tech
People can start dreaming when they see the poten8al of

new tech, but try to look beyond buzzwords.
Spoang new tech is easy…
But how to translate this info into new ideas?
MIT Tech Review Wired Tech Vimeo Tech
Example: start from this technology “Face Recogni;on”
The most obvious ideas would be: 

Security; log into computer with my face; photo tagging; …
But, try to start by wri;ng down all new ‘features’

this tech could offer today/tomorrow. Be very specific!
- Detect disgust
- Count # of people in a room
- Check if someone lies?
- Track ?redness?
- Spot siblings
- Transi?on of emo?ons
- Aerac?veness
- Medical condi?ons
- …
Once you have a list, it’s easier to generate new ideas.

Where could this feature become valuable?
Example: Track Tiredness (use case in the car, produc?on facility, sports, educa?on,…)
Other industries
Explore other markets. Understand how other companies 

innovate in their domain.
Start from a first idea. Put this idea in other contexts

(other industries) to generate alterna;ve ideas.
Fill empty fields
Check for your concept (or similar) in a database +

browse related items to find more inspira;on.
example: tracxn.com 

How are ‘industrial robo?cs’

used in a wide range of sectors?
Example search via crunchbase.com

What are remarkable startups in different industries

that are using ‘auc8ons’.
All different industries
Reverse innova;on
Rural areas & development na8ons have to be more

crea8ve due to the lack of resources.
Designed for rural India:

The Leveraged Freedom Chair. focus: low-
cost, long distance rough terrain,…
Later on, adapted for wealthy
consumers who need an off-road

mobility solu@on.
You start from a context with extreme limita;ons:

(developing na8ons = an interes8ng context to explore)
Try to copy some of these principles to your 

normal business context.
How to build a messaging

solu?on, without central

network or internet?

developing countries
Foldscope™ is being used by
schools and researchers all
around the world
VC & Investors
It’s their job to look ahead of what’s coming. 

Understand why they move in a certain direc8on.

Quick & Dirty (Free) reports In-Depth
Specialized services 

example below: CBinsights Mosaic & Smart Money
check other tools: ma`ermark.com/discovery/ or pitchbook.com/products/plaQorm
Science Fic;on
Get your inspira8on from sci-fi movies & novels

where they explore new ideas on how people

interact with products & services.
Step 1: Watch a movie for the story & entertainment value.
Step 2: Rewatch your movie, but pay close a`en8on to new

products & services. Omen there are remarkable but subtle

new inven8ons in the background, inspired by real research. 

Example: BLACK MIRROR (S3e1) all
interac?ons with others lead to a ‘life’-
score. Some products are only for
people with minimum life-score.
Based on: voice assistants, smart
lenses, full connected API’s, credits
score,…
Remember the Power Mags from Back to The Future in 1989?
You can buy them for 720$ now.
In 2009 Young-suk Kim designed an
all-in-one credit card
In 2016 Stratos, Coin, Plas8c, Swyp are
figh8ng to become credit card of the
future by releasing all-in-one credit card
Designers are great at imagining how future products
could look like.
There must be a reason why car manufacturers create
future concepts of the cars, right?
Extreme users
Don’t focus on average users & customers. 

Look for outliers. They will challenge your assump8ons.
People you want to focus on
while idea;ng
What would you current offer look
like if it was only used by extremes?
Example: What if smartphones were
used by people who want modern
design, but only use phones for calling?
The person who made TwiTer use #hashtag

You heard me right, it wasn’t Twi`er’s idea to use hashtags. Chris Messina and other
extreme & early users of Twi`er needed a way to group tweets by topic.
Follow your extreme user behavior
to understand their needs.
Inspira;on behind Epson’s new revolu;onary printer
Extreme users got fed up
with buying expensive
cartridges all the 8me.
Therefore, made tweaks to
their current printers
Epson came up with
“revolu8onary” printer
Random inspira;on
Have 8me and want to browse the web for possible EUREKA
moments? Here are some sources to start with.
If you’re stuck just try to free up your mind by browsing 

some of the following sources for inspira;on:
behance.net adsomheworld.com tumblr.com
stumbleupon.com producthunt.com
So what are we missing here?

 problem to solve! example: airport context, not losing things. “people take pics of their own car, 
 in large parkings to help them retrieve their car a7er 2 weeks.”
  • 5. example: airport context, not losing things. “The shoes of this girl make a sound at every step to help her parents not lose her in the crowd.” example: airport context, not losing things. “Do you no?ce how people are struggling with the same black suitcases? How to fix this?” Look around you, every day you can easily spot
