Overview   

The Goal of the InnoJam, CeBIT 2013 is to introduce SAP technologies from a different angle to students. We would like the students to see SAP as a company that promotes innovation in all types of areas. This particular InnoJam experience will allow the students to use their imagination and showcase their creativity at the top German IT conference, CeBIT. During the week of CeBIT in March 2013, university students from all over Europe, supported by SAP Mentors and SAP experts, will compete to find out who can build the best working solution in just 30 hours. The participants will only learn on site what their topic is going to be. First they will have to understand and decide WHAT they want to build. Then they have to find out HOW to build it and actually implement their idea. The final product will not be a software that was created because they can, but it was designed with a purpose in mind.

Design Thinking:

Design Thinking is a creative process that can solve complex problems based around the building up of ideas. There are no judgments early on, in design thinking process. This eliminates the fear of failure and encourages maximum input and participation in the ideation and prototype phases. Outside the box thinking is encouraged in these earlier processes since this can often lead to creative solutions.

One important aspect of Desing Thinking is to have a diverse team, with different backgrounds, experiences and point of views.

  • Understand: Find out what questions to ask and which information we need
  • Research: Where to get the information (Interviews, Observation, Comparison...)
  • Synthesis: Collect and organize all of the teams findings (Build a persona)
  • Ideate: Brainstorming then organizing ideas
  • Prototype: Easy to produce and a representative way your solution is suppose to Look, Feel and Work in the future.
  • Test: Get feedback from the customer
  • Learn: Iterate, Iterate, Iterate!
