Activity guide
Generative research can produce a vast array of insights and evidence, making it difficult to determine the best solution to your problem. Use this activity to help your team and decision-makers move from Discovery to Alpha by aligning on the direction of your project. Next stop: designing and testing prototypes that deliver on your project goals.
What’s it for
Prioritising the opportunities that will be the focus of your design and delivery work.
What you’ll get
A plan that tips you from Discovery/Research into Alpha phase where you can start prototyping and testing a variety of ideas.
When to do it

How it works
Before you start
- Generate Opportunity Canvases (here’s a good opportunity canvas example) for each opportunity, featuring key insights, user pain points and opportunities from your research. This should be refined so you can easily view and refer to it at the start of the activity.
- Identified your key decision makers.
Step 1. Agree on how the group will prioritise the opportunities
Step 2. Prioritise opportunities
Step 3. Map opportunities to action
What’s next
- Start exploring and testing multiple prototypes that address your prioritised opportunities.
