Here are a few challenges businesses face when working through technology ideation & prioritization processes:

• Limited resources: Companies have limited time, budgets, and personnel, which can reduce the program’s quality and effectiveness.  
• Similar ideas: When a business has worked with the same methods for a long time, team members may struggle to develop unique ideas.  
• Unclear goals: Starting a technology ideation & prioritization session with vague goals means less targeted brainstorming, potentially lowering the outcome’s value. 
• Minimal experience: Businesses new to the technology ideation process may need help with where to begin and how to guide sessions for the best results. 
• Staying ahead of the curve: Uncovering innovation and technology in an ecosystem that is constantly evolving at a rapid pace can challenge ideation if team members are not current. 

Our JumpStart Technology Ideation & Prioritization Approach

Over the course of our technology ideation & prioritization program, together, we’ll work through four essential phases to best evaluate, learn, and co-create plans for your future. While implementing plans will take time, this program is designed to define and deliver strategic plans, and roadmaps, and accelerate proof-of-concepts that anticipate business benefits and drawbacks.

Evaluate

Before we step forward, we evaluate where you are now. Current state assessments provide information about your technology & operations today, providing background information to assist decision-making. This step involves ethnographic research with key stakeholder interviews, participant observation, and technology assessments. These activities give us insight into how you currently work.  

Learn

After gathering information about your people, technologies, and operations, we analyze. The current state assessment presents an excellent opportunity for stakeholders to examine, level-set and align on unmet user needs and business priorities. Through our designed workshop activities, the most critical gaps and initiatives become clearer and will guide our next stage activities and how-might-we strategies. 

Model

The evaluation and learning stages ensure everyone is up to speed. With those steps completed, we start looking ahead, and our skilled technology professionals work with your team through a series of exercises to create a model. The journey development, capabilities, and concepting processes enable us to prioritize the most critical needs, co-create innovative technology solutions, and start to define the path to the future. This stage gives us a complete idea of what we need to build so we can develop and test proof-of-concept models.  

Execute

Once we have functional models, we begin planning how we implement end-to-end, from technology to operations to team. Our work during this stage may include designing the system, prioritizing use cases, working through applied technology design with UI/UX, and change management. We may work alongside your teams to implement & train while minimizing your daily business operations. 

Our JumpStart partnership goal is to co-create with you to define and deliver a clear technology direction, plan, roadmap, and fast-track POCs for your future initiatives, while solving any challenges along the way. As you progress plans into action, we are available for development and on-going support, however you need.
