Digital Bank, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, Behavioral Science Consultant, Daniel Caceres Apolaya “Gauri is a very experienced and methodical mentor on the field of Designing a Strategy and having her as IDEO U coach was a great support. I’m currently managing a HR technological change in one of the biggest banks of Peru and she offered me not only great advice but also past insights on similar projects that she faced with valuable resources. I enjoyed our three 1 to 1 sessions because I could co-create solutions with her in a safety space getting honest feedback. Moreover our discussions were a reminder to put the user in the center of the change.”

Seeing gives a better understanding.
Virtual Community Conversations @IDEO U Coaching on Prototyping
why prototype?
Radical exploration about what the idea might look like, feel like what it might be?
It is done to validate our assumptions about the consumer’s needs by expressing our ideas to others(team/consumers) to get feedback to improve it.
we can prototype anything be it conversation or a product or a service or an experience and the better is with the prop.Rachel practicing prototyping in 3 minutes with a prop. for “How might we improve commuter experience for urban cyclists in china?” and showcasing the same in a Virtual Session. Great Job Rachel !!! 🙂
Prototypes can be lLEGO toy models, 3D prints, sketches, thermocol/clay based models, dialogues, digital-media, experiences. Prototypes are ‘conversion of empathy driven creativity powered iteration enabled solution-possibilities into chalked out designs’.
