How to Prototype for Your Business

All great innovations start with a key question: How can you make life easier for your users or customers?

No matter what industry you’re in, one of the best ways to approach problem solving is to start the innovation process by looking at what the user needs to have a great experience with the product or service. If you make that the top priority, it’s hard to go wrong.

This session will introduce you to the principles of human-centred design – keeping people’s needs and preferences at the focus of each phase of the product/service development cycle.

It will cover the following phases:

• Discovering the problem to solve
• Defining the specific problem
• Developing a solution
• Delivering a prototype

The workshop will be run by Ann Fomukong-Boden – Principal Electronic Engineer and Director of Kakou Technologies. Based in Chesterfield, Kakou Technologies is an R&D, product design consultancy developing innovative products that are as beautiful in function as in form. Kakou specialise in taking an idea from initial concept through to full-manufacturing, delivering products that add value and provide genuine real life benefits.
