OTHER TOPICS THIS WEEK:

SHOW NOTES

  • Andrew speaks about the early years of SF AppWorks and about the opportunity the company had to work with trusted innovation teams.
  • The pattern he found among different innovation teams is that they have a process. That's where the idea of defining innovation 'our way' came from.
  • Andrew describes how companies we have been working with employ their innovation process.
  • In our rapid prototyping model we throw away the idea of building a perfect, or even a stable product, instead we focus on building a most minimum product and can we get it to users quickly.
  • Andrew acknowledges that the progressive web app we built for West Elm was a huge success and it increases conversions by 70%.
  • We try to be innovative all the time, Andrew notices. "If we can't be innovative on the product side, we innovate on the process side."
