Ideation Session – The Challenge
The challenge:
Suggest ways that service providers can increase revenue or reduce costs by merely using existing, or potentially existing, data from their OSS systems.
Kipling Method
1. Who is or should be involved? Who does what? Who else is doing this?
2. When does or should this happen? 3. Where else might it be done? Where can we get
what we need? Where does it come from or go to? 4. What do we want to achieve? What results are we
looking for at the end? What will make a significant difference?
5. Why does this happen? 6. How did we start this? How do we influence
/change? How else can this be done?
Why? Who? What? Where? When? How?
