4.5.2. How to proceed?

We can describe attribute listing by the following main steps:
 
Firstly, we have to
  • Identify components of an object or a problem we have to deal with.
  • The result will be a list of elements of a product or a service or a list of elements of an organizational strategy of the company.
  • All these elements (e.g. material, colour, weight, use of the product, design) can be described with certain attributes     
 
Secondly, we have to
  • Draw a table
  • Use the elements found as column headings.
  • Find as many variations of attributes as possible within the columns under the heading.
 
Tip: You can do this alone or by using a brainstorming (see 4.2) conference in your team.
 
Thirdly, we have to
  • Mix and discover interesting variations,
  • Discuss their feasibility.
 
 
Note: When regarding prerequisites and elements of a product/system it’s important to ask if they are a necessity. If yes, how they might be changed:
 
If it is necessary to leave a message you might think of a piece of paper first. Another “mechanical” way could be a black board, a small white board for the desk, or you might choose an electronic way, an answering machine, a voice recorder….Why not apply an installation within the loudspeaker system of the computer of the person for whom you would leave the message and which automatically starts when switching on the computer? By the way, why does she/he need a switch to switch the computer on (mechanically)? Couldn’t it be an optical, acoustical, chemical or biological starter…?
 
Oh yes, a biological starter! My fingerprint to start the computer! So many passwords always changing which is often the problem …no problem anymore with log-in or stolen passwords with my unique and never changing fingerprint, only recorded once…
