Concept Thinking
Make the main idea impossible to miss.
Concept Thinking helps R&D develop a focused concept that makes the main benefit easy to grasp and aligns the wider team around it.
R&D expertise trusted by world-class brands
Good concepts get crowded fast.
A strong idea gets diluted when you add every feature, benefit and proof point your team comes up with. The more the concept tries to cover, the harder it is to understand what the product is really promising.
One clear idea
1 idea + 4 additions + 14 additions 1 idea
Keep one idea running all the way through.
A strong concept follows a simple Golden Thread:
Insight
The user wish the product responds to.
Benefit
The single-minded promise.
Reason to believe
Why the product can credibly deliver it.
Turn technical thinking into something anyone can understand.
Inside Innovation Gym®, Concept Thinking gives R&D a guided workspace to strip out the jargon, sharpen the wording and check whether the idea still makes sense to someone seeing it for the first time.
Case study: One idea, supported from insight to proof.
Using RE-NOURISH as an example, here’s how we decoded its success with the Concept Thinking tool.
RE-NOURISH is an award-winning UK soup brand created by former critical care nurse Nicci Clark. Its products are nutritious, convenient and sustainable, which gives the brand plenty to talk about. But the concept stays focused on one job: helping busy people get a balanced meal with less effort.
-
Insight
Busy people want nutritious meals but don’t always have time to prepare them.
-
Benefit
Fuss-free soup that makes a balanced meal easier to fit into the day.
-
Reason to believe
Chef- and nutritionist-developed recipes, nutritious plant-based ingredients and a microwaveable bottle.
Where Concept Thinking fits in the bigger picture.
