Introduction

If you are a PM or CPO, you have probably wondered why so many products fail or fail to reach their full potential. The answer often lies in a crucial detail that few master: the ability to transform deep insights into a robust innovation strategy. Traditionally, this process – based on the Outcome-Driven Innovation (ODI) method – is a secret of Big Techs, and a true luxury of giant companies. Yes, we are talking about a method that, if executed in the traditional way, requires at least 6 months and an investment well in excess of US$350,000 to create an Innovation Roadmap that truly directs the company towards the most profitable opportunities.

The Challenge of Traditional ODI

Imagine spending six long months and an exorbitant amount of money to map out your company’s innovation opportunities. This is the classic scenario for traditional ODI, a proven method developed by Anthony Ulwick that has helped large companies accurately understand what customers really want. When applied conventionally, ODI generates confidence levels of up to 95%. However, this effectiveness comes at a high price: in addition to the time, the financial investment makes applying this method unfeasible for most organizations – whether startups or large corporations.

And the worst part is that, because of this cost and time frame, many companies end up not carrying out a complete ODI. The result is a superficial Innovation Roadmap that fails to identify the greatest opportunities for innovation and, consequently, leads to decisions based on guesswork. In a market where every minute counts, relying on a method that consumes so much time can be the difference between leading and being overtaken by the competition.

Innovation Strategy Mastermind: Democratizing ODI

That’s where Masterminds AI’s Innovation Strategy Mastermind comes in – the solution that makes the impossible a reality. Our platform takes all the power of traditional ODI and democratizes it, allowing companies of any size to create a robust Innovation Roadmap in just 3 days. Yes, you read that right: what used to take 6 months can now be done in the blink of an eye, with confidence levels reaching 90%, proven by several qualitative and quantitative research studies conducted with our solution.

But what does this mean in practice? It means that you can have, in record time, a strategic map that reveals exactly where your company needs to innovate. And we are not just talking about the company's JTBD, but it can be applied to the JTBD of product groups or even individual products. This democratization of ODI opens up a range of possibilities that, until now, were only available to large corporations that could afford the cost and time of a traditional analysis.

Strategic and Operational Benefits

With the Innovation Strategy Mastermind, you not only drastically reduce the time and cost of the process, but also integrate the insights generated into other strategic layers of your operation. Our platform combines the ODI methodology – with its ability to transform raw data into innovation opportunities – with the expertise of frameworks such as Jobs-to-be-Done (by Cleyton Christensen). The result is a detailed and accurate Innovation Roadmap, which serves as a basis for guiding all of your company's innovation initiatives.

Imagine having access to a roadmap that clearly shows your customers’ biggest pain points and the opportunities that are being overlooked by the market. This map not only guides the creation of products and features that truly add value, but also allows you to align your entire innovation strategy in an integrated and rapid manner. The impact? Cost reduction, shorter launch times and, most importantly, a significant increase in ROI – potentially multiplied by at least 6X.

The Masterminds AI Difference

It is important to note that Masterminds AI is not a generic AI solution. Unlike tools that offer scattered and superficial answers, our platform is specialized for product innovation challenges. While conventional solutions can answer specific questions, Masterminds AI integrates all modules of the product lifecycle – from strategy to execution – using the most advanced frameworks on the market in a cohesive way.

This integration ensures that each step of the process is aligned and that the insights generated can be applied immediately, eliminating the risk of errors that compromise the effectiveness of the Innovation Roadmap. With the Innovation Strategy Mastermind, you transform a traditionally time-consuming and expensive method into an agile, accessible and highly reliable process.
