10 up

10up Notes from meeting 31st January 2002

At yesterday's 10 up consultancy meeting Edward, John Bound, Richie, Michael, Mathias and Edwin came up with the following:

BRAINSTORM RESULTS:
The main goal was simply to see how effective the group was in working together, and to start to develop a methodology for creating cool sustainable products. We spent about 2 hours coming up with ideas and then refining them. It seemed like a good start.

The product we chose to explore was an 'Urban Bag'. The drawings were digitally photographed by Mathias:

Our final score sheet of the features and ideas was:

Energy producing / charging 7
Inflatable 7
Seat 5
No Bag 4
Electroluminescent 3
Zip in cover / reversible 3
Durable 2
Massage 2
Security / Safety features 2
Waterbag 2
Grabs/ Hugs you 2
Flexible 2
Only Bag You Need 1
Umbrella bag 1
Cleans as you go 1
Trolley 1
Concertina 1
Marsupial 1
Hemp 1

NEXT STEP:
We will develop the bag concepts and also have another brainstorming session for a new product on Thursday 7th February, 7 pm, Royal Festival Hall, main floor (that's the floor with the bookshop and the cafes and the bar) in the far corner at the back left (south east). Bring a good pen or two! Flip chart paper being kindly provided once again by Richie.

Anyone in 10up is welcome to attend and take part.

Please let me know if you are coming / not coming. If you can't make it that day, then you can send in ideas / drawings to Edwin at 282 Lauderdale Tower, Barbican, London EC2Y 8BY so I can bring them along to the meeting and the group can expand on them.
