Lesson 3 – Multiple Choice Assessment, Part 2 Lesson 3 – Application Assignment Attached Files: File IHEP-Phase-1-Opportunity Discovery Canvas.pdf (94.933 KB) Lesson 3 Application: Now it’s time to get out of the building and “hit the bricks” to begin testing your ideas in the real world. In this initial phase of the Opportunity Discovery Process, the goal is to test your assumptions by interviewing a variety of potential “customers” and other stakeholders who may also have an interest in the problem you are trying to solve. Group Assignment: Review the initial assumptions you documented in the Opportunity Discovery Canvas. Identify potential “customers” and other stakeholders who may have an interest in solving the problem at hand – the people you described in box 2 of your Canvas. Using the questions in Canvas boxes 1 through 3 as your guide, each team member should interview a minimum of 5 potential customers. The interviews should be conducted face-to-face. Action Steps: Discuss the problem you intend to solve. Do they share your frustration? Did they mention other problems that may be worth solving? Evaluate whether the problem is important to them. What evidence do you have? How are they currently solving the problem? Optional: If you have a proposed solution, ask if your solution makes sense. Group Directive: As a group,review your initial assumptions and revise boxes 1 through 3 of your Opportunity Discovery Canvas based on what you have learned from these initial interviews. Note: While this assignment will focus primarily on the problem, those who already have a potential solution may complete additional boxes within the Opportunity Discovery Canvas. Back of the Canvas Analysis: Complete the Notes section on the back side of the Canvas worksheet (approximately 100). In the “Additional Analysis” section of your Notes, consider the following questions: How would you rate your customers’ level of interest in the problem or solution? (Strongly interested, somewhat interested, not interested, unclear?) Are you confident that this is a problem worth solving or do adjustments need to be made? What, if anything, surprised you the most from this interview experience? Download the attached canvas. Lesson 3 – Reflection Assignment Reflection Assignments are designed to encourage you to write reflectively about what you are learning and to explore ideas more deeply. These assignments also provide an opportunity to think about the future you want to create for yourself and how best to apply the knowledge you have gained in a way that will enable you to accomplish your goals. Lesson 3- Ideas into Action: Think big. Start small. Act fast. Entrepreneurs are action oriented and they tend to focus their time and energy on things they can change rather than things they cannot. Assignment: Reflect on the following questions: What is preventing you from taking the action steps necessary to accomplish your goals? Are the barriers external, such as lack of knowledge and resources, time and money? Or are they internal barriers such as complacency, fear or a lack of confidence? What stands out to you, feels new to you, excites you, or challenges you from this lesson? Your reflection should demonstrate evidence of in-depth reflective thinking. Your viewpoints and interpretations should be insightful and supported by with clear examples.
