    1. Execution of the ideas can be managed in whichever way makes more sense

  4. Sixers will have a short segment to review progress on active initiatives

Defining Ideas

As ideas proceed through the process, we will need to defined the initiative in more detail, taking into consideration the benefits, risks, and commercial impacts of adopting the idea.

A Lean Canvas is a 1-page business plan template created by Ash Maurya that helps you deconstruct your idea into its key assumptions. It replaces elaborate business plans with a single page business model.

Executing Ideas

are an intense 5-day process where user-centered teams tackle design problems. Working with expert insights, teams ideate, prototype and test solutions on selected users. Google’s design sprint is the framework to map out challenges, explore solutions, pick the best ones, create a prototype and test it.
