The LAB: Demonstration of Task Unification (July 2008)

 

Welcome to The LAB.  This month, we will focus on Task Unification.  This tool is one of five templates in the S.I.T. method of innovation.  The tool works by taking a component of a product or service and assigning it an additional task or job.

What I need from one of our readers is:  a suggested product or service.  I will use this suggestion to apply Task Unification to innovate new embodiments.  Please post your suggestion in Comments below.  Innovation results will be posted shortly!

  • Hi,
    As a musician, I often play with others who plays string instruments. The challenge is that it takes them time to tune their instrument and that they have to repeat this several times.
    So how about applying TU on a guitar, for example?

  • Somehow, something made me think of blogs as a good object (subject?) for innovation using TU.
