DEFINE the problem

“I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”

Albert Einstein

1. DEFINE the problem

Starts with"I have an idea and/or an intention to

innovate"

Ends with"I have a very clear idea of the problem or

opportunity"

Sopheap

“I think smartphones can help teachers do better teaching.”

“Cambodian teachers do not have the time or resources to teach effectively.”

2. DISCOVER relevant insights

Sopheap

“I need to research teachers, attitudes, existing initiatives, global trends and current constraints..”

“New teachers from the training college are more willing to work in remote areas if they have technology tools to help them feel connected.”

Starts with"I need more information about who,

what, where, why and how"

Ends with"I'm confident we have enough

information on the problem we are trying to solve."

3. DESIGN the solution

Sopheap

“We can use smartphones so that teachers can send lesson plans to one another.”

“I have the requirements for a nationwide SMS-based teacher discussion group that has been tested with 30 teachers.”

Starts with"I have ideas about how we can do

this."

Ends with"I have detailed specifications that I've

tested and am happy with."

4. DEVELOP the solution

Sopheap

“Please build this SMS system.”

“Here is the prototype that we tested with 30 teachers in 3 provinces over 2 months. It works!!”

Starts with "I need this built or done."

Ends with"I have a solution that works well at a

small scale."

5. DEPLOY the solution

Sopheap

“Who can help us deliver the service at scale?”

“We have a contract to deliver the solution to 50 schools!”

Starts with "I want everyone to use this."

Ends with"This is working!" Or, "I've learnt what

changes we need to make."
