Product Service Systems - Weekly Consultations 09/09/13













Feed back from tutor Tom :
The strongest concept that I had was concept 2.  Concept 1 & 3 were good concepts, but they were to app-like which focused heavily on the service, which somewhat made the product itself weak and redundant.  The 2nd concept had the most merit as it was innovative and different, the service part of it was spot on, but could be focused more specifically on mental health subtlely rather than general news itself.  Should look into the rules of privacy and wether there are rule against keeping a photo of someone for a specific time, and possibly add a warning or option that a photo is being taken.  Should look deeply into the psychology of smiling and what it means to smile and what it involves and how smiling affects mental health especially.

Feed back from Ryan Go :
The first 2 concepts have the most merit, he really enjoys the idea of the 2nd concept which really aims to brighton the lives of everyday normal people in random fashion, which is really cool.  The first concept is great because it engages people from the community with each other.

Feedback from Daniel :
Daniel Really liked the 2nd concept and wasn't too sure if the 3rd concept was viable, he was worried about the durability of the tablets and also that the idea of depression and anxiety wasn't subtle enough and it might deter people away.  

Action plan for upcoming week : 
The plan for this week is to continue to do more research into the area of mental health, and then dfive into research of smiling especially into further depth.  To research into the effects of smiling on mental well-being and the laws and regulations of privacy and photo taking.  Possibly research into colours and how effective street advertising is especially in bus stop shelters.
