LPG GAS CYLINDER ONLINE METERING EXPERIMENTATION - LEARNING LAUNCH 

 CHALLENGE : 

 I currently reside in Nigeria , and the most common energy means for cooking in the country is using   either wood / coal , kerosene stove and Liquefied Petroleum Gas- LPG . To improve the use of green   energy rather the use of fossil fuel such as wood , coal , and kerosene , I and my team then decided to   explore the use of IOT metered LPG cylinders in rural communities where this non - green energy   cooking methods are most dominant . The CHALLENGE with the people using LPG is the high cost   involved in buying the LPG when compared to how much the fossil fuel are gotten . So , my team and I   came up with idea of introducing a pay as you use system of consumption in these communities ; the   members of these community live on daily wages when compared to the cities . We realized this   technology are already in use in Kenya and Tanzania , but we were not so sure how it will be embraced   in Nigeria . We decided to get a prototype of about 10 ( ten ) units , and we decided to deploy for some   handful of community dwellers for few weeks . 

 SELECTION : 

 As a team , we decided to use the learning launch tool . We believe this will help us fine tun the design ,   make it simple , yet effective technology that our target customers can easily navigate through and   use . Working with some few community dwellers and mind you we have already gone through several   redesign thinking activities to come up with a customized go - to - market prototype for Nigeria .   These   pre activity knowledge has helped us to select the learning launch tool for our challenge and working   with these prototypes will help us experiment the idea with a small group of community residents . 

 APPLICATION : 

 Our first launch , we focused on guiding the consumers on downloading a mobile application that runs   on a smartphone , which enable them place orders / buy LPG and monitor remaining gas level / quantity   in the cylinder . This process helped us understand our market , many residents liked the idea behind   the technology , however , most of them did not own a smartphone and they had limited or no internet   services due to their rural geographical locations . Most dwellers phone runs on Symbian operating   system and the telco signal for 3 G was weak . It guided to rather go with an USSD- code transmitting   approach rather than the 3 G dependent application approach . 

 INSIGHT : 

 By applying the learning tool , we designed and tested our solutions . Through the learning process we   got to improve our mobile application to meet user ’s expectation and available infrastructure . My   team and I used the results of this process to re - strategize our marketing campaign . Moving forward   our business will focus on human centered design to improve our product and services . 

 APPROACH : 

 The learning launch is the appropriate tool for our business . We need as a team to review the insight   gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs as this is   the most effective and ideal way of approaching and implementing solutions . Future launch designs   should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full   roll out
