Q: When in your career did you first learn about the formal process of idea generation? As an industrial designer, we practice idea generation each year of the 4-year undergraduate studio curriculum. I wouldn't call the idea generation process we learn as designers "formal," however
It involves two main components: Computational concept generation and computational concept evaluation
My opinion is that this happens very early in the development during teh Fuzzy Front End (FFE) where idea generation and concept defintion is done
In the early concept generation phase, ideation makes use of several design heuristics to assist in concept generation, extension of existing concepts, and exploration of design solutions. These design heuristics are source of inspiration for idea generation and introduce variation to form new solutions or variants (for a detail description of design heuristics and its application please access htpp://www.designheuristics.com ) (Daly et al., 2012;Yilmaz et al., 2016)
This essay centers on the “idea generation” stage, i.e., the divergence diamond
We think of "ideation" or "idea generation" as the fun part of product innovation
These unmet needs, in turn, will become the focus of our idea generation. That is, we’ll search for innovative ideas (new product and feature ideas) that will better address those unmet needs
For example, developers can use ChatGPT to train a model to understand and interpret user input to perform tasks like sentiment analysis, text classification, or entity recognition. Content generation: Another way to use ChatGPT in software development is to generate content for websites, social media, or other applications
