Product Design & Innovation
📋 What it is
Good products solve a real user problem; innovation improves them by testing, getting feedback and iterating.
🗣️ Coach says
Design starts with the USER, not the gadget. Ask what problem people really have, build a rough version, test it, listen, improve — then repeat. Innovation isn’t one big flash; it’s many small, tested improvements.
🧠 Memory hook
Start with the user’s problem. Build → test → listen → improve → repeat.

Why did the goods cross the marketplace?
To get to the higher-demand side!
😲 Whoa!
The first version of most famous products was clunky — success came from many rounds of testing and fixing, not a perfect first try.
✅ Quick check: Why do good designers test a rough version instead of perfecting it first?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
Testing early reveals real user problems fast, so they can fix what matters instead of polishing something people don’t actually want.
Build–test–improve (iteration) is how real innovation actually happens.
