2nd BrainGym, today, 7pm, Design Thinking Loft (above Meeting Point): bring your ideas, problems or solutions to brainstorm it with other students! We're looking foward to it, Michael & David

Our teams brainstormed two innovative concepts in yesterday’s BrainGym workshop:

1) "Five Guys“ Platform (further development of an existing idea):
Why: In today’s world where working consumes most of peoples time, small activities like cutting the lawn or bringing the shirts to the laundry represent activities perfectly matched to be outsourced as then more valuable free time is available for these heavy working individuals.
How: Key is to bring the provider and the consumer together. Certain filters allow you to search for local providers. That allows a fast and personal ex*****on of the task.
What: With a platform suited for all kind of devices, Five Guys is aiming to bring people together that have less time and enough money (or maybe missing a certain skill) with people that have enough time and less money (but with the searched skill).

2) Revolutionizing the Telco Industry / Use cases of Smartphone Collaboration
Why: Communication is one of the basic needs, people are demanding these days. With this concept, favorable smartphone communication is made accessible for everyone.
How: People with small volume telco subscriptions can use hotspots provided by people with high data subscriptions to access the internet. The model is based on pay per use.
What: The app represents the window to the user. While identifying with a Login, each user is registered and all payments go through that channel.

What do you think? Please engage with all BrainGymmers and discuss these potentially high impact ideas with your comments below.

Have a nice weekend :)
