Learning Launch tool 

 Challenge : 

 We are a business which needs new business ideas . Previously using the mind mapping 

 tool the team has generated numerous ideas . Now the project needs a way to test those ideas 

 and act on a few strong ones . At this point it is unclear what idea testing tool should we use , we 

 want to test ideas scientifically in order for them to be valid . 

 Selection : 

 Because the challenge requires scientific method we need to act with experiments in order 

 to know which ideas work best in the real world . The goal of these experiments is to test 

 hypothesis ( assumptions , guesses etc . ) . In order to do all of that I chose the Learning Launch 

 tool which tests key customer , execution and defensibility assumptions . 

 Application : 

 Learning Launch process : First we take an idea from the list of ideas generated in mind 

 mapping . We try to apply that idea to a specific person or group of people that has a specific 

 need hoping that the idea meets that need and that it is better than the competition in the market . 

 All of this process prioritizes the customer , execution and defensibility “ must be trues ” . Using 

 data is essential in order to determine whether key assumptions are true or not . In the data we 

 search both for confirming and disconfirming facts on our assumptions / ideas . In order to 

 achieve best results we need to use multi - functional teams ( they have various experience ) and 

 a sceptic in the team . If the assumptions are more likely to be true then we continue to a second 

 learning launch . If the assumptions are more likely to be false then we change the idea and 

 move on . That is how we test ideas . 

 Insight : 

 This approach to testing ideas really worked well for this project . Because the assumption 

 testing is based on scientific method it is reliable – we use data to confirm whether assumptions 

 are true or not . So we strongly believe in our ideas once they pass the Learning Launch tool 

 test . Another thing that helps in this project is consulting with multi - functional teams which has 

 various and different experience . This helped with conformation bias . Lastly because we know 

 which ideas are false we know when should we pivot – that saves us a lot of time and energy . 

 Approach : 

 Confirmation bias : Next time I should be aware of confirmation bias – looking for 

 information that confirms my assumption . 

 Group think : While testing the ideas in multi - functional teams we encountered an issue – 

 someone spoke up about the idea being good or bad and everyone else agreed . That is called 

 group think . In order to change this kind of behavior next time we need everyone to write their 

 judgement on the idea on paper and reveal it on the same time – this way we know that the 

 judgement is really coming from the individual and not a colleague .

EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
