Reflection on the Result and Process
After preparing the innovation charter, 40 opportunities, 5 from each member, where generated then selection criteria such as time
limitation, relevance, physical prototype development and feasibility (more emphasize was given to time constraint and physical
prototype development) were used to select promising ideas. Finally detailed criteria such as, the significance of the product, the
possible side effects and specific completion time were proposed in the selection of exceptional opportunities.
