Presentation

Now we have presented our ideas at BoostTurku and I'm very proud of our group! We presented the ideas as a story about Magda 60 y/o and her customer experience in Aktia. I will try to put up the whole story on the blog a little bit later on.

We actually didn't have the representative from Aktia listening to us, so we are going with the other Aktia group to Helsinki at some point to present our ideas for the board over there. Scary but exciting I think! So our work continues and we will probably develop our ideas a bit and think about ways of really visualizing our ideas. Probably we will continue writing on the blog and Twitter so you can follow the last bit of our journey :)

Thank you INNO58h and good job all the groups!

Done!

The presentation is finally ready! After using all of our creativity and putting much effort into the creation we now have an outstanding presentation which In our opinion clearly illustrates the ideas we developed and thoughts which guided us during the innovation process in Kunstenniemi.

The result of our working process will be finally presented to our customer Aktia and the other participants of INNO58h from 13:30 on in the rooms of Boost Turku!

Second day of Kunstenniemi - Morning session

This morning started with a reflection of our work done so far. We used the NABC method, developed at the renowned Stanford University, to figure out the Needs, Approaches, Benefits and Competitors which are crucial to know for our further working process. It is motivating to get a clear picture of what whe have crafted so far as well as to have an illustration of what might still be improved.

Eventually our analysis was presented to the whole INNO58 team which provided very contructive feedback which we will now ground on our further improvements. Besides from the creative replies to our work we had some insights into the progress of the others which was both impressive and inspiring.

Further updates will follow during this afternoon!

Second working day

Hello! We had the second working day on Friday the 15th of March in Turun AMK. In out group there was just me and Henri attending at first so the first part of the day we worked just the two of us. After discussing and drawing mindmaps and stuff we got a little bit more ideas on the actual project and what "Banking Service Design" is. Service design is about designing a new service och producing a new concept for an company that need renewal in their service. It's about making the service memorable, amazing and make it work in a new innovative way for the company. After having a little presentation about our company to the other groups and telling about our biggest challenges and so on we had a lunch break.

After the break we continued and now we had another team member joining us. Before we started working the course leaders told us our group has been remodeled and some people are going out and some people in. We're still six people in our group, but with other faces. We began discussing the books we had brough with us and decided on which ones we want to read for the course. Then we made up an "action plan" for the course and decided on meeting dates and stuff that has to be done before the next working day. Well, that was pretty much it!

So it begins...

Hello! I thought I'd peek in and tell you a bit why we started this blog. We are five students from Novia and Åbo Akademi School of Business and Economics (HHÅA), participating in the INNO58h course.  We are three students from Novia and two from HHÅA. The reason for writing the blog in English is that we have an exchange student from Germany in our group.  We are a group of different people with different backgrounds, hence the blog name The Royal Mess.

The course started last Monday (4.3) with a kick-off at BoostTurku, where we were divided into groups. On Monday I will attend a meeting where we will get more information about the project and the company we'll be working with during this course. We will introduce ourselves individually later on. Welcome to follow our journey to innovation!
