This is a CLC assignment.
During Phase 1, each individual will
submit their own idea for an innovation along with a model they find useful for
evaluating its merits. Each team member is responsible for completing research
on various models. While there are several models in circulation for evaluating
innovations, such as The Lean StartUp Plan, NOMMAR, SNIFF, and the linear and
mental models of innovation, innovators should not feel constrained by any
particular model. Feel free to borrow elements from multiple models to develop
one that would work best to most effectively evaluate your own innovation.
Teams will then review all of the
submissions and choose the most promising idea to pursue. The idea should be
selected by application of one of the evaluation models submitted by team
members. You will then write a report of 1,500-2,500 words that describes the
team’s selection process and identifies the final choice. The report must
contain the following components:
- A one- or two-paragraph summary of each team member’s
idea, a description of the model used to evaluate the idea, and the
results of the evaluation. Specifically, the evaluation should identify
the merits, drawbacks, and challenges associated with the idea. - Identification of the selected idea for the project
accompanied by a description of the model used to evaluate the idea.
Include the results of the evaluation, which will serve as the
justification for the team’s selection. Preliminarily forecast the most
significant challenges that could impede the development of the selected
idea. - A project plan that summarizes the roles or tasks
assigned to each team member that must be accomplished to complete Phase 2
of the project due in Module 6. - In-text citations from at least five reputable
secondary sources. Each person on the team must contribute an article from
the research that was completed on innovation implementation/evaluation
models.
