Suggestions often represent a collection of ideas based on what others have experienced or observed before you begin your project. They contribute to a broader pool of ideas, highlighting various problems and expanding the discussion with an increase in variables. However, suggestions typically don't offer concrete solutions; they are more about seeking solutions based on others' opinions and experiences.
On the other hand, feedback is the response you receive after presenting your initial design. It's crucial for refining and perfecting your project or product. Feedback helps in narrowing down issues, ensuring your work is suitable, feasible, acceptable, affordable, and ultimately, something customers are willing to pay for.
It's important to note that relying solely on suggestions, which often reflect existing knowledge, might limit innovation. A more effective approach is to start with your unique idea and then seek feedback. This concept aligns with Steve Jobs' philosophy of innovation, where he emphasized the importance of creating something new and then getting feedback, rather than relying on market research or focus groups to dictate the design. Jobs believed that people often don't know what they want until they see it.
Henry Ford's famous implication, "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses," also supports this view. It underscores the importance of leading with innovative ideas rather than conforming to consumer suggestions.
In summary, while both suggestions and feedback are valuable, they serve different purposes in the creative and development process. Suggestions broaden the scope and open up possibilities, while feedback hones and refines your original, innovative concept into something that resonates with and is desired by your audience.
