The importance of leading with innovative ideas rather than just following consumer suggestions.
When developing a new product or service, particularly during the stages of prototyping, creating a proof of concept, and developing an MVP, it's crucial to trust your own vision. Relying on crowdsourcing for ideas can often lead you to insights that are limited to existing knowledge and lack innovation. Instead, it's more effective to present your clear, original idea and then seek feedback on it. The initial concept should originate from you, while the feedback should come from your audience, not vice versa.
This approach aligns with Steve Jobs' perspective on innovation:
1. "People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page."
2. "It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."
Similarly, Henry Ford once implied, "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." This highlights the importance of leading with innovative ideas rather than just following consumer suggestions.
