2. How might we
a) Formulate ‘How might we’
= a problem-solving technique
- a way to reframe problems as opportunities for creative solutions
- encourages a more open and solution-focused mindset, making it easier to tackle complex
challenges effectively
- not yet the intention to describe a particular solution, but gives the perfect frame for innovative
thinking
- suggests that a solution is possible because it offers you the chance to answer in a variety of ways
b) 4 steps to formulate
1. Rephrase the insight statements/POVs as HWM questions
don’t do this too narrow
2. Break this larger position into 6 to 12 smaller questions
3. Can your questions have multiple solutions?
If it doesn’t, broaden it, it should generate several possible answers
Examples:
- HMW get people to pay their taxes before the due date?
- HMW keep people productive and healthy when they have to work from home?
c) Tips to write a good HMW
* Keeping focus on the topic and research conducted
- stay focused on your topic and the problems or insights you discovered during your research
- don’t address other issues or stray too far from the subject
Problem Visitors are not aware of the wide range of products.
HMW (wrong) How can we add more products to the range?
HMW (good) How can we make the wide range more clear for the visitor?
