Steps for Serious Innovation
- Clarify Your Innovation Objective: Define what you aim to achieve by combining new nouns with existing offerings. Are you enhancing a feature, creating a hybrid product, or tapping into a new market segment?
- Identify Current Products, Services, or Events: List the specific offerings you want to innovate. Note their core attributes, strengths, and weaknesses to understand where new nouns could add value.

- Research Industry Trends and Gaps: Look for emerging trends, technologies, or consumer needs that aren’t yet addressed. This will help you find nouns that are timely and relevant.
- Brainstorm Complementary Nouns: Generate a broad list of nouns that could enhance or transform your existing offerings. Consider areas like new technologies (e.g., “AI”), experiences (e.g., “virtual reality”), or values (e.g., “sustainability”).
- Use Combination Techniques: Employ creative methods like forced connections, where you randomly pair existing nouns with new ones to see what innovative ideas emerge. Use GPT
- Create a Combination Matrix: Build a grid listing existing nouns on one axis and new nouns on the other. Explore each intersection for potential innovative concepts. Use GPT
- Mind Mapping for Associations: Visualize the relationships between current offerings and new nouns using mind maps. This can reveal hidden connections and spark ideas.
- Evaluate Potential Combinations: Assess each noun pairing for feasibility, market appeal, and alignment with your innovation goals. Prioritize combinations that offer the most value.
- Gather Feedback on Combinations: Share promising noun combinations with stakeholders or potential customers to gauge interest and gather insights.
- Refine Your Noun List: Based on feedback, refine your list by focusing on nouns that resonate most with your audience and have the highest innovation potential.
- Prototype or Conceptualize: Develop prototypes or detailed concepts of the combined offerings to further assess their viability and refine them.
- Finalize and Implement: Select the most compelling noun combinations and proceed to integrate them into your product development, service enhancement, or event planning processes.
Additional Tips:
- Legal Vetting: Check for trademarks and intellectual property rights to avoid legal complications with the new nouns.
