Idea Generation

From this idea generation, I chose the top 3 ideas to explore further and created goals and a list of pros and cons for each to present to my lecturer and my seminar group.

After presenting the ideas my seminar group and I concluded that the best idea to move forward with is the business bartering platform. Some people however, also voiced the potential of the multilingual cultural app.

We discussed the business idea further and decided that it would be beneficial to add a collaboration aspect to the service, between different businesses and freelancers. This is the idea that I decided to move forward with.
