Konseptointimenetelmä

Konseptointimenetelmä refers to a systematic approach or process used in design and development to generate, explore, and refine ideas. It is a crucial phase in bringing a new product, service, or system into existence. The core purpose of a konseptointimenetelmä is to move from a problem or opportunity statement to a well-defined concept that can then be further developed and realized.

These methods often involve various techniques aimed at fostering creativity and ensuring that generated ideas are relevant and feasible. Common elements include brainstorming sessions, user research, ideation workshops, sketching, prototyping, and scenario planning. The process typically starts with understanding the problem or need, followed by generating a wide range of potential solutions, and then narrowing down these solutions to one or a few promising concepts. Evaluation criteria are often established early on to help in the selection process.

The choice of a specific konseptointimenetelmä can depend on the nature of the project, the available resources, and the desired outcomes. Some methods are highly structured, while others are more flexible. The ultimate goal is to produce a clear, compelling, and actionable concept that serves as a solid foundation for subsequent design and development phases. This ensures that development efforts are focused on solutions that are desirable, viable, and feasible.
