If you have ever been in charge of a project to launch a new business such as product or service development, you may have thought about the question, “How can I effectively involve people in my own project?” There may be As an answer to this question, we believe that
“prototyping involving external stakeholders at an early stage” is the best, and we will explain the outline and examples in detail at this event.
I had this idea because PLAYERS, a general incorporated association that is a professional inclusive design and co-creation workshop, conducted 27 prototypes for the product “Smart Maternity Mark”, which won the Grand Prix in a project sponsored by Google. Mitomi, a researcher, started the analysis.
Through this analysis, we showed that prototyping that involves external stakeholders at an early stage, that is, prototyping with margins, is the most efficient.
