Generating Product Ideas

The process for helping to generate winning business ideas

Good ideas, the ones behind successful products and services, all have one thing in common: they start with someone thinking of a way to solve a problem. The book Generating Product Ideas - Actionable techniques for finding new business ideas begins by showing us how to carry out an effective analysis of people’s needs, and continues by suggesting a process which enables us not to come up with just one or two, but a whole host of good business ideas. In fact, this book can be considered a truly comprehensive resource in which to discover tips and techniques that we can easily put into practice for ourselves: a real manual, in every sense.

Obviously, to choose which problem to focus on, it is essential that you define your target audience; the advice is to choose a group of people and companies that you have something in common with: for coffee lovers it would be easier and more gratifying to serve others who love coffee, people who make it, and who sell it.
