We Are PRYMD!
• Who is the Customer?
• What are her needs?
• BIG Idea (POV)
• Bottom-up Discovery-Driven Plan
• Identify Key Assumptions & Risks
• Our Prototypes
Mom, Is that YOU?
• Our Customer– Daw Kin Shwe – 62 years old
• 5 families living in one house• 5 acres of land, all used to grow food (rice
and basic vegetables)• $500 annual income, all spent on food• She would love to send the kids to school, but
they are in debt and can barely afford to eat
Representative of many other land owners who find themselves in a similar
economic situation
Her Needs
buys pump
raise water to surface
deliver water to crops
grow crops
make money
provide forFamily
WHY?
HOW?HOW ELSE?
Finding Focus:Moving Water
• Up– create suction– store it
Treadle Pump
Moneymaker
Maung Dat
• Over– store water– move it to crops
~$4 but “big burden”
OPPORTUNITY
Point Of View
• Increase Daw Kin Shwe’s profit by improving her ability to effectively deliver water from the ‘well head’ to the crops.
Bottoms Up!
• Potential value to Daw Kin Shwe of improved water delivery system– Financial Incentives
• 50-100% more crops per season– Potential of $50-$150 per annum
• 50% reduction in watering time– Potential of earning an additional $150 per annum
in performing other activities» i.e. driving an ox cart, picking tamarind leaves
(PUT PICTURE IN OF OX CART)
You know what happens when you ASSUME!
• Key Assumptions & Risks– More effective distribution of water is actually a
limiting factor in how much money they can make
– Normative cultural challenges of introducing new style distribution system can be overcome
– Complexities in selling a system in which results come over time (e.g. growing crops versus immediate pumping of water with treadle pump)
– Cost of system considering risk-adverse nature of customers
Enough talking, where’s the beef?!Prototypes address a variety of needs in the distribution hierarchy• Our Prototypes
