Idea Scoping Tools
There are six idea scoping tools geared to frame an early stage idea into a business value proposition. Each tool helps to develop a hypothesis of sorts to explore the question, “What do you think the business value proposition MIGHT be for this innovation?”
These tools are designed to be used at the ‘bench level’ by researchers, scientists and engineers with ‘napkin-stage’ ideas and future-oriented concepts.
