Reflection - Learning Launch 

 Challenge 

 I am the Director of an Agro - based company in Kolkata , India . Kolkata is situated in West   Bengal , in India which is the hub for manufacturing rice . The by - product of rice is rice - husk and   I have an idea to prepare nano - cellulose out of the rice - husk in order to act as a cheaper and   steadier alternative to plastic as a raw material . Plastic is particularly being used in packaging   and hence in order to use nano - cellulose for preparing the package of products , it is really   essential to check for its viability and response . 

 Nano - Cellulose even though widely used in China is a relatively newer concept in India . It   would definitely be a challenge to establish it as a substitute for plastic and to verify the   consumer response for the same . 

 Selection 

 I have chosen the “ Learning Launch ” tool of Design Thinking for the purpose of the evaluation   of my challenge . Learning Launch essentially refers to the application of an idea or a concept   in an actual marketplace for a smaller sample of people to check for its effectiveness and get   the feedback from the target audience . I found this tool of Design Thinking to be pretty   attractive as it helps us to get a real - life feedback for the idea before hand and is in alignment   with the mantra of-“Fail early to Succeed for the rest of your life . ” 

 Application 

 I have applied Learning Launch , by initially getting a set of samples that could be used as a   package out of Nano - Cellulose . Additionally , these samples were then presented to the   potential consumers , which were the brands which were the brands that could utilise nano- cellulose as the package of their products . I decided to target smaller brands as it would be   easier to get them to adopt Nano - Cellulose as a packaging alternative to plastic . Moreover ,   since these small brands are not very quality - conscious about the packaging , they can easily   adopt it . Hence , the samples were provided to these brand owners and they used it for   packaging their products and for supplying them in order to evaluate the quality , strength and   resistance of the packaging . 

 Insights 

 The Learning Launch tool proved to be quite beneficial for us as it helped us to look at various   aspects of our idea which we had not evaluated until the idea had been launched to be tested   by the potential customers . For example , the customers were not very satisfied with the   resistance of the Nano - Cellulose Packaging , which is something that we learnt through the   Learning Launch Tool , and we shall work on improving the resistance by adding certain   chemicals . 

 Approach 

 The next time , when I would implement the Learning Launch Tool , I would like to implement   it in the initial phases of Idea / Product Development itself as it would help me in making the   necessary modifications in the Idea / Product simultaneously . This time , I chose to implement   the Learning Launch tool after completely developing the product and hence it would be a bit   more challenging to make modifications in it .
