Idea generation by looking at the team’s bird-in-hand resources:
Frederik Mørch Valsted:
Frederik said in his bird-in-hand excersise that he knows a fair amount about bicycles. We therefore came up with the idea of restoring and reselling old bicycles parts from bicycles that people have abanboned.
Nicolai Kjær Bomholt:
Nicolai wrote in his bird-in-hand that he before his time at the university worked as a skii-instructor and therefore knows alot about this area. We came up with the idea of a ski-boot that guides the user in improving his or her skiing technique.
Christopher Victor Holst Nielsen:
Christopher did not mention this in his bird-in-hand excersise but he enjoys cooking and in particular baking. A problem we all agreed on was that baking has become a mass produced commodity which impacts the quality of the bread and also has an impact on the environment as way too much bread is thrown out. We came up with the idea of being able to buy dough in grocery stores or bakers so you can bake the bread when needed “DoughToGo”. Furthermore, we came with the idea of a community bakery where it is possible to use industry grade ovens and get the guidance needed from bakers.
Frederik Kold Knudsen:
Frederik wrote in his bird-in-hand about his work in creating a summer school course and one of the problems he faced was finding passionate people to collaborate with. There our idea is a platform that can somehow help find the right people for the task at hand.
Idea generation by looking at changes in technology, imbalances or social change:
We tackled this exercise by first looking at relevant technology and idea generated with this in mind, afterwards we did the same with imbalances or social change.
Technology:
- Robots
- Guide Robot instead of guide dog
- Coffee delivery robot
- Search robot, find your forgotten items
- AI
Social changes:
- GDPR
- Cumbersome data gathering
- Not enough knowledge about this area
- Recycling
- Still lack of recycling in terms technology
- More sustainable technology
- More immigrants
- Better handling of immigrants, optimizing the process
Imbalances:
- Recycling
- No international recycling guidelines
- No international recycling
- Taxi
- Uber is not legal in Denmark, better and legal way to better car services
- Hospitals
- Optimizing the process in waiting areas
