Question: Create an innovative idea for a new product, service, or business. During Phase 1, you will submit your own idea for an innovation along with a model they find useful for evaluating its merits. While there are several models in circulation for evaluating innovations, such as The Lean StartUp Plan, NOMMAR, SNIFF, and the linear and mental models of innovation, innovators should not feel constrained by any particular model.
