Abstract

The Dependency Structure Modelling Value Bucket (DSM-VB) tool is integrated to Radical Innovation Design (RID) methodology for exploring the front end of innovation in need seeker mode. The determination of value buckets has been automated by matrix representations of dependencies between problems or pain points, usage situations and existing solutions. Three matrices are built along the problem setting stage of a RID process. The first matrix expresses which problems occur during usage scenarios, the second how much existing solutions cover problems and the third how much existing solutions are useful in usage situations. Combining these three matrices results in a matrix of value buckets as being the combinations of important problems occurring during characteristic usage situations and for which few existing solutions are useful or efficient. This outcome allows to perform focused creativity workshops and to result in “blue ocean” innovations with high likelihood to be successful on the market.
