The “Atomize” method is used to break down the topic/problem into its detailed components. This makes it possible to analyze even complex issues and enable simpler problem solving.
Atomizing is particularly suitable for small groups and should be used especially in the first phase of the innovation process, before the team moves into concrete idea development.
Challenges where the use of “atomize” is worthwhile :
– What might our basic business offering look like in two years?
– What can our technology platform look like for the next few years?
– The design of an enterprise-wide initiative.
– The new modeling of the entire value chain.
– Changing the corporate culture or transforming the entire organization
