Systematize (Learn)
Innovation Vortex
How did you reflect on what you learned so far? How did you evaluate how to improve your systems?
Innovation Vortex: Contextualize • Empathize • Synthesize • Hypothesize • Externalize • Sensitize • Systematize
Purpose
The Systematize (Learn) stream is about deciding what to do with what you’ve learned. After closely observing people using your prototypes, you should have enough information to see how the results fit into the bigger picture.
Notes
You should decide where in the Innovation Vortex your attention should go next.
Your attention may go back to the beginning, to more contextualizing and empathizing, because the Innovation Vortex is supposed to be an iterative model.

“If you look at history, innovation doesn't come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.”
