Smart Little People
How would an army of Smart Little People go about solving your problem?
Wouldn't it be cool if we had an army of tiny people working together to help us get through the day?
It might surprise you to know that Designers and Problem Solvers sometimes imagine this exact scenario to help them overcome creative challenges.
"Smart Little People" is one of a number of tools from a design framework called TRIZ.
In this episode, we talk about what TRIZ involves, and how Smart Little People have helped Jono, Tommy and others produce products and services in our every day lives.
