User-Centered Innovation Process
[von Hippel 2005] explains that users that innovate can develop exactlywhat they want, rather than relying on manufacturers to act as their (often
imperfect) agents. It may be that the needs of local user communities
differ and so local lead users really may be the world’s lead users with
respect to their particular needs. Further, [von Hippel 2005] argues that
users generally have a more accurate and more detailed model of their
needs than manufacturers. The information assets of some particular
users are close to what is required to develop a particular innovation.
Users tend to develop innovations that are functionally novel, requiring a
great deal of user-need information and use-context information for their
development.
Using Python for S60, users can program applications based on their
interests and own ideas – even integrating local cultural aspects. Users
with few programming skills can innovate, iterating through new ideas
rapidly.
