Innovative proposition development
May I ask…
  • Are you happy with the boldness and richness of your new concepts?
  • Are you satisfied with the time it takes before ideas become more concrete enough to test?
  • Do you have the time to facilitate all proposition development processes yourself?
“Don’t stimulate creatvity. Instead, stop suppressing it.”

Problem

Zilveren Kruis was looking to develop a new concept involving personal wellness technology, underlining its “big picture health” (totaalplaatje) strategy. Initial user research had been conducted. On this basis, I connected Zilveren Kruis with a deep tech startup.

Facilitate and support early-stage proposition development.

Challenge

The proposition and business model were to be developed practically from scratch, in international collaboration, with limited capacity, in partnership with a deep tech startup.

Approach

Initially, interface-only designs were shared with a small early user community, yielding UX insights (including users describing use cases we did not think of) and feature requests, invalidating some of our initial assumptions and informing critical hypotheses about the service.

Given the enthusiasm we encountered, we designed a second experiment, where cohorts of users shed light on the impact different versions were having on user experience and satisfaction. We also gained valuable insights on the support required and the scalability of the new proposition. Because of the multitude of possible business models, a group of MBA students was assigned to gather, structure, and classify different types of business models for the proposition, yielding a wealth of promising options.
