Define the problem and the user
Establish who needs the idea, what they do now and what would make an alternative useful. Examine costs, competing options and assumptions that need testing.
HOW WE HELP
You have an idea.
Work out what it needs to become.
An idea might become a business, an application, a management tool or a better way to do a recurring task. Creation Train works through the intended user, the practical requirements and the commercial assumptions, then develops something that can be examined and tested.
This may sound familiar.
- You need to know whether a venture is feasible before committing further resources.
- A recurring task would benefit from an application or a better workflow.
- You have a product concept but the user journey and requirements are still unclear.
THE WORK
Design the product or system
Map the workflow, information, decisions and outputs. Decide where software, AI assistance or a simpler working process is appropriate.
Build and test a first version
Create a prototype, application, website or structured tool. Review it against real tasks and identify what is still required for launch and ongoing use.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Agreed outputs.
The engagement defines which of these are needed, their scope and how they will be reviewed.
- Feasibility assessment or business plan
- Product brief and workflow maps
- Prototype, application or website
- Knowledge and document-production systems
- Implementation and maintenance plan
Relevant experience.
Mortifact and RovaRisk are current product-development examples. Both start with complicated practical work and organize it around the information, decisions and records a person needs. They remain in development.
