Introduction Significance 3. THEORY Activity 1. 1 Thinking about your daily life can you identify a change that has enhanced either a product or service that you use in the last 2 years? An example may be the introduction of an electronic ticketing system for public transport, or the introduction of touch and go payments using your debit card. Each person in your group needs to identify at least one product or service then you should answer the following questions. Finally create a table that shows the relationship between your answers. What is the change? Who does it impact on (everyone, only people who use the product or service)? What are the wider implications of the change (who may be indirectly affected)? Has everyone benefited from the change and why? Copyrights and property of Innovation Management Academy® 9
