This content is not maintained and may contain information or links that are out of date.Business and IT leaders agree that co-creation is necessary to drive innovation. However, most organizations face the following cultural barriers to cross-engagement and co-creation:
- Process or product development silos.
- No model and/or limited tools for idea sharing and collective learning.
- Limited engagement with customers, stakeholders, and users of IT services.
- Culture that incentivizes a “you versus me” mentality as opposed to an “us versus the problem” mentality.
Prototyping with an Info-Tech design sprint enables IT to:
- Design, build, test, and refine prototypes to meet real business needs.
- Learn how to conduct hands-on UX testing with real users.
- Create an environment for co-creation between IT and the business.
- Establish disciplined, goal-oriented thinking for IT-led transformation.
- Sell the value of IT solutions to executives.
