Fast Company\u2019s Innovation By Design<\/span><\/a> award winners in 2019 all have a few things in common: they\u2019re sleek, intuitive, and many have a sustainability focus. From a carbon-negative, algae-based plastic raincoat to a reusable takeaway-cup service for large venues, the winning designs all meld form and function to create a great user experience for the customer and the planet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Designing a great product doesn\u2019t happen overnight. There are many product development strategies an entrepreneur can take to reach a break-through design. The process could start with something as simple as a napkin scrawl and continue with finding the <\/span>right partner<\/span> to move your design a leap ahead. Here are the different approaches that many businesses take to designing a new product.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional business approach<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>traditional business approach<\/span><\/a> considers two factors when designing a product. Will the product be viable, i.e., how does it benefit the business? And, what is the operational and technical feasibility<\/a> of designing the product? Using the traditional business approach to design, a company would <\/span>identify a problem<\/span><\/a>, or a set of problems, and then derive what the company thought it could offer as a profitable solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The traditional business approach to product development<\/a> strategy<\/span> seems relatively straightforward, but it often doesn\u2019t lead to success. It focuses on the \u201chow\u201d and \u201cwhat,\u201d rather than the \u201cwhy\u201d \u2013 why does a customer need a product? The metrics for greenlighting a product design, namely viability and feasibility, are company-centric and don\u2019t consider the needs of the end-user. Hence, the rise of design-thinking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
