Participants will: Present service concepts clearly. Gather feedback on viability. Validate assumptions about user needs. Identify potential issues early. Align stakeholders on direction. Refine concepts based on input. Build buy-in for service development.
Participants will complete a concept walkthrough, step through the experience, and validate the concept flow.
Create compelling presentations. Encourage honest feedback, even criticism. Ask specific questions. Document all input, not just the good stuff. Look for patterns across stakeholder types. Be ready to defend your ideas. Use feedback to improve, not just confirm. Plan follow-ups based on the session. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, a concept just won't resonate; be prepared to pivot.

  1. Prepare your concept presentation. Include: service concept overview, key value propositions, user scenarios, and visuals.

  2. Plan the walkthrough: concept introduction, detailed explanation, Q&A, and feedback collection.

  3. Select stakeholders: target users, business folks, tech experts, and implementation teams.

  4. Run the session: present clearly, encourage questions, and document everything.

  5. Analyze the feedback for trends.

  6. Refine the concept based on what you heard.

  7. Plan next steps for development.
