Lift Prototyping Lab - The Whys and Hows
Back in October 2015, we embarked into a new journey with Greg Bernarda that led us to explore the future of trust in e-commerce during a full day of workshop in Hong Kong. More specifically, we looked at the latest technology trends, human social interactions and behaviours to explore how they could be articulated into the E-commerce architectures of the future. The format involved a mix of moments of inspiration, ideation and rapid prototyping.
Following the positive feedbacks from participants and a successful experience, we decided to continue the experimentation of hybrid formats combining inspiration and prototyping with the launch of Lift Prototyping Lab in parallel to Lift16 in February 2016.
N.B This adventure led us to scale this format in 2017 with the event being called Lift:Lab.
What was the Lift Prototyping Lab?
The Prototyping Lab at Lift16 was a gathering of innovators from around the world! During 3 memorable days, teams of participants collaborated to build the future of products, services and business models! Having the opportunity to welcome more than 1,000 hail from business, politics, culture and academia to enjoy the conference we decided to go one step further. We invited a selected group of participants to take the ideas of Lift16 and build the future of their own products, services and business models. We called it the Lift Prototyping Lab. It’s a space and a program dedicated to make Lift work directly for its participants. Running in parallel to the public program, teams of participants worked in company of Lift16 speakers and experts to go from problem to prototype in just three days.
To do that, we designed the format with the team behind the international bestsellers Business Model Generation and Value Proposition Design, and brought the latest prototyping tools and techniques inspired by the maker movement dear to all Lifters. We gathered the best ingredients to invent with our participants the value of tomorrow!
