Research Results: 3 Key Patterns
Fashion Browsers want to immerse themselves
in a beautiful aspirational world that keeps them
up to date on fashion trends
Co-creators want to “do fashion” with a buddy –
a friend or relative they can dress with, shop
with, and borrow from.
Armchair Stylists love telling other people how
to dress – they want role-play a celebrity stylist,
and get credit for their fashion sense
When I’m tired after a long
day, I want to flop on the
couch & get the escapist,
immersive experience of
flipping through Vogue –
but in a game.
The Fashion Browser
When I
Login to the game
I want to
see gorgeous, creative outfits –
made from the latest designer
fashions
so I can
stay on top of fashion trends in a
fun and relaxing way

When I
Need to dress up for an important

raid my friend’s closet and get her
feedback on my outfit online

have her accessorize my look and
help me feel confident - just like in
real life :-)

  1. Thanks for joining me today. We’re going to talk about what it takes to do breakthrough product innovation – and take a peek under the hood of some genre-defining blockbuster hits.
  2. We’ll start with an introduction – then
  3. reveal the 5 key Hacks that set you up for Breakthrough Innovation –
  4. Amd close with three smart shortcuts you can use right away to super-charge your early product development
  5. If you’re an entrepreneur, an innovator, or a maker– you already know...
  6. that everything starts with a hunch.... an exciting idea to explore...
  7. A hot area to pursue, a vision for a product game app or device you’re itching to build.
  8. But until you’ve developed and tested it, your idea is only a hypothesis. How do you know if today’s idea is the right one to pursue? What markers can guide your way as you explore and shape your ideas?
  9. I’m Amy Jo Kim game and product designer specializing in early-stage innovation.
  10. At Shufflebrain, we’ve had the pleasure of working with many great companies and teams – all trying to build something innovative and new. Some were more successful than others.
  11. A handful of my early-stage clients went on to become massive, genre-defining hits. What set these breakthrough innovations apart?
  12. Can we identify habits and behaviors that reliably lead to better, faster, and smarter innovation?
  13. I think we can – and today, I’m going to share with you 5 key Hacks – in focus and outlook– that drive the behavior of teams who create successful breakthrough innovations.
  14. The first Hack is foundational: Think Like a Scientist. Successful innovations start with small, iterative experiments designed to answer the most important questions.
  15. This is consistent with a Lean Startup approach – where the path to success involves moving quickly through the build/measure/learn cycle
  16. The most striking pattern - shared by ALL the breakthrough innovations I’ve worked on – was the ability to ask the hard, important questions upfront, and seek the answers experimentally
  17. The team behind The Sims – led by Will Wright and Chris Trottier -- spent years experimenting with different approaches to bringing a virtual dollhouse to life, finally settling on a design that became the highest-grossing PC franchises of all time.
  18. The early team at eBay – led by Pierre Omidyar, Mike Wilson & Mary Lou Song – experimented with a variety of social systems for building trust among buyers and sellers, at a time when online shopping was a niche activity.
  19. The Rock Band team faced a daunting product challenge: could non-musicians – playing plastic instruments – make music together and FEEL like a band? Answering that question was fundamental: – without a resounding YES, nothing else mattered.
  20. The Covet Fashion team had created several mobile fashion games – and hit a wall. To create a breakthrough hit, they needed to reach a broader audience of fashion-loving women Using a disciplined, experimental approach –the team iterated their way into Crowdstar’s biggest success to date.
  21. The second Hack characterizes how successful innovations get started – by focusing on and delighting a small, passionate group of early adopters. They don’t always look like Segway-riding rock stars – your job is to recognize the right early adopters for YOUR project
  22. Have you ever heard of Crossing the Chasm – by Geoffrey Moore? This influential book talked about the difficulty of marketing innovative products to a mass market - and opened people’s eyes to the key differences between early adopters and early majority.
  23. Moore’s book was based on work done three decades earlier -- Everett Roger’s Innovation Diffusion Theory is a data-driven model of how new products spread through existing communities.
  24. If you want to innovate successfully, – you NEED to find & delight your early adopters – These are the people who will put up with cost, inconvenience and and ridicule because they’re LOOKING for what you’re offering – it solves their problem, or meets some real need.
  25. Your early adopters can add value in many ways. Pierre Omidyar – the founder of eBay - was the original customer support rep for the service – and during a support interaction, an early user came up with the idea for eBay’s reputation system
  26. Will wright – the genius game designer behind The Sims – cultivated relationships with an active, highly creative group of super-fans who provided a rich source of ideas, user-testing and content creation long before the game ever shipped to paying customers.
  27. The Rock Band team knew that social dynamics could make or break their ambitious multi-player music game – so we focused on understanding the needs and habits of avid social gamers and non-musicians, which helped to create a massive crossover hit
  28. The third Hack is about process and attitude. Successful innovators are tinkerers and experimenters – they don’t fall in love with any one idea, but instead they test and refine many ideas – and include their customers in an iterative feedback loop from the start.
  29. If you embrace lean methods – and want to set your team up for success – one of the most powerful things you can do is to create a culture of quick, iterative, high-learning play-testing in your team and organization.
  30. Testing can start before you’re designed or built a thing. Early in the Rock Band project, we interviewed dozens of casual gamers, and gained early insights that helped to shape the game.
  31. The Covet Fashion team was blessed with a savvy in-house researcher who setup weekly interviews with fashionable young women, gamers and non-gamers alike – those weekly sessions morphed into user testing once the game was playable.
  32. The Sims developed an iterative playtesting culture early among the team – and grew those tests to include an enthusisastic, content-creating fan community.
  33. This brings us to the fourth Hack: focusing on testing and tuning the most important part of your customer experience FIRST.
  34. A Core Loop is a gaming concept that describes the interlocking activities, progress markers and rewards that a player experiences during a gaming session. As game designer Dan Cook says, skill-building and learning are an essential part of what makes games compelling fun.
  35. When you’re validating your product ideas, be careful not to fall into the trap of testing your marketing message – and thinking you’ve validated your core loop.
  36. A fake landing page will help you shape your message – but it’s NOT going to help you shape or test your core product experience.
  37. An operant conditioning loop – such as the Habit Loop (from the Power of Habit book) or the Hooked model – gets you closer to a Core Loop, because it’s based on feedback and rewards.
  38. What’s missing, though, is any notion of skill-building or personal empowerment. Skinner Boxes and operant conditioning loops can shape behavior – but they won’t lead to player delight or true long-term engagement.
  39. For that, you need skill-building. People enjoy getting better at something they care about. The process of learning and mastery is deeply, intrinsically motivating.
  40. To create a robust Core Loop,
  41. Combine compelling feedback with the skill-building power of games.
  42. Create repeatable, engaging activities that are triggered by an existing urge or need
  43. Build a feedback loop that promotes learning and skill-building
  44. close that loop by giving people compelling and meaningful reasons to return – and cues to remind them
  45. Breakthrough innovations spend lots of time up-front getting this core experience loop right. The Rock Band tea, for example, created a War Room for protoyping and testing early versions of the game – and didn’t add features or polish until the feel of that early play experience ROCKED.
  46. The Covet Fashion team experimented with a number of Core Loops – tweaking and iterating until they found the right combination of features and systems to delight and hook their early players.
  47. The fifth Hack builds on all the previous ones – and is directly connected to building long-term engagement with your customers.
  48. teams who produce Breakthrough innovations recognize the importance of early adopters – and find ways to co-create with them – empower them - learn from them, and leverage their skills, knowledge and passions to bring the full product vision to life.
  49. You can engage ALL your customers with progressive skill-building...
  50. And encourage your best customers – your early adopters, enthusiasts and passionate advocates – to stay involved and contribute by giving them the tools, powers and rewards of mastery.
  51. In true eBay fashion, the idea for the star system came from a group of early power-sellers who wanted a shorthand way to communicate trustworthiness to potential buyers. Through their actions & feedback, these power-sellers helped tune & shape the overall system.
  52. The Sims team leveraged their fan community by giving them powerful customization tools early in the development process – and then learning from their experiments and questions.
  53. For Rock Band, the mastery systems were built around the Rock-N-Roll fantasies of social gamers and non-musicians – something the team absorbed through interviews & early testing.
  54. And Covet Fashion was created from the ground up around rating systems that naturally bubble true fashion expertise among the players.
  55. So there you have it –
  56. 5 key Hacks that lead to breakthrough innovation.
  57. To maximize YOUR chances of success
  58. try making these Hacks – in your thinking and practices –
  59. and see what happens.
  60. Now let’s switch gears, and take a look at 3 smart shortcuts you can start using TODAY to turbo-charge your customer discovery process.
  61. Which we’ll bring to life with a deep dive into the early design process behind Covet Fashion, the breakthrough hit from Crowdstar.
  62. The first shortcut is the MVP Canvas – a 1-page document, similar to the Business Model Canvas, but highly targeted to the needs of early stage product development.
  63. the MVP Canvas helps you think like a scientist by giving you a clearcut way to generate hypotheses and prioritize your highest-risk assumptiosn,
  64. First you clarify your product strategy by forming hypotheses about your early customers, unmet needs, solution and value prop.
  65. You identify your team’s strengths, value and passions – and the early metrics you’ll use to measure success
  66. You’ll then list and prioritize your most important, high-risk assumptions – and use that list to focus your prototyping and testing efforts.
  67. The second shortcut is the Speed Interview – a great technique for generating early product insights & excellent testing subjects.
  68. Speed Interviews help you identify and leverage your early adopters through rapid pattern recognition.
  69. You conduct 10-15 quick interviews with potential early adopters – who you can find & filter in a variety of ways –spending 5-10 minutes on each interview
  70. You ask just a few revealing questions - carefully-chosen to surface the needs, habits and ideas of true early adopters
  71. You can speed things up by using inteviewer/note-taker pairs for better faster pattern recognition
  72. And once the interviews are complete, you’ll identify 5-7 enthusiastic early adoptees who would make great testing subjects.
  73. The third shortcut is Habit Stories – a variation on Job Stories, or Jobs-To-Be-Done
  74. Habit Stories help you harvest the most actionable product insights from your customer interviews and testing sessions
  75. If you’re looking for shortcuts to customer engagement and satisfaction, piggyback your product experience on to of an existing habit – amd solve a problem or unmet need that goes along with that habit.
  76. If you’re looking for shortcuts to customer engagement and satisfaction, piggyback your product experience on to of an existing habit – amd solve a problem or unmet need that goes along with that habit.
  77. If you’re looking for shortcuts to customer engagement and satisfaction, piggyback your product experience on to of an existing habit – amd solve a problem or unmet need that goes along with that habit.
  78. A habit story is a special type of job Story – one that’s built around your customer’s existing habits and unmet needs.
  79. If you’re looking for shortcuts to customer engagement and satisfaction, piggyback your product experience on to of an existing habit – amd solve a problem or unmet need that goes along with that habit.
  80. Let’s look at how Covet Fashion used these techniques – the MVP Canvas
  81. Speed Intervierws and
  82. And Habit Stories – to super-charge their early product development,
  83. Covet Fashion came about because Crowdstar saw an opportunity to expand the fashion gaming market by integrating with real-world fashion brand, Our initial product strategy involved letting fashion gamers play dress-up with real world brands – and get advice from a well-known celebrity stylist.
  84. Our initial product vision was a free-to-play co-operative mobile game tied to fashion trends and real-world events. We wanted to offer people a replacement for Vogue” – something beautiful to flip through and play with that keeps you up-to-date on fashion trends.
  85. Our unfair advantages are 1) extensive F2P experience and 2) an addressible audience for testing and marketing the game. Out early metrics were subjective responses drawn from weekly interviews.
  86. Our key assumption was the basic premise of blending real-world fashion cycles with a F2P mobile game. We also wanted to understand the value-add – or not – of a celebrity stylist.
  87. For the speed interviews, we spoke with young fashion-loving women – both gamers and non-gamers
  88. We did the interviews as phone screening – with paid testing as a followup for the best interviews.
  89. We completed the first round in 2 weeks, which gave us useful customer insights and testing subjects to work with.
  90. From these early sessions, three key patterns emerged that corresponded to different types of fashion gamers.
  91. The first is the Fashion Browser – someone who loves staying up to date on fashion trends, and immersing herself in the beautiful aspirational world of Vogue,
  92. WE translated these research insights into design decisions by creating a Habit Story around her existing habits and unmet needs
  93. The second pattern we identified is the Co-creator – someone who likes to dress, shop and primp in co-op mode, with a buddy
  94. Writing her Habit Story helped us see the need for a Shared Closet – which became a much-loved feature of the finsihed game
  95. The third pattern we identified is the Armchair Stylist - Someone very opinionated about fashion, who loves to tell other people how to dress
  96. Her Habit Story helped us get inside the mindset of a wanna-be stylist, and create a in-game rating system to empower and highlight these people
  97. We updated our MVP Canvas to reflect what we learned. Our hypotheses were largely confirmed – and our age targets tweaked a bit.
  98. The F2P game we’d envisioned looked like it could be a hit with fashion-loving young women who own smartphones and tablets
  99. SO we validated our initial assumptions, and generated NEW assumptions to guide our next round of testing.
  100. And that’s how a solid start in low-fidelity, high-learning playtestiing helped Croiwdstar create their largest hit to date.
