Uzzi approaches a new idea with the following questions:
- What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
- Product development is never easy.
His advice is:
- Don’t hesitate just do it.
- There’s no harm in learning from your mistakes.
The development process:
- What are the features of the product?
- Do market research.
- What features could the product have?
- Always keep the product simple and stupid.
- Idea, drawing board, moulding.
- First prototype is probably not going to be the end product, it will evolve.
- As you launch the first model you learn from it. Get customer feedback at this point.
