Usenix Security had a

off-the-shelf technology
to show how vulnerable
the human brain really
is. With an EEG
(electroencephalograph)
headset attached to the

figure out what the
neurons firing are trying

spikes in brain activity
when the user
recognizes something
like one's ATM PIN
number or a child's face.

21. Customer & Idea Discovery

22. ARE YOU
SOLVING THE RIGHT
PROBLEM?
Most firms are not and that undermines
their innovation efforts…
Indeed, when developing new products, processes, or even businesses,
most companies aren’t sufficiently rigorous in defining the problems
they’re attempting to solve and articulating why those issues are
important. Without that rigor, organizations miss opportunities, waste
resources, and end up pursuing innovation initiatives that aren’t aligned
with their strategies.
“If I were given one hour to save the planet, I would spend 59
minutes defining the problem and one minute resolving it,”
Albert Einstein said.
