Evaluation Tools

Gigamaps are rich and dense information representations. To work with such semi-organised complexities and develop the ideas within and to work with the interventions or innovations derived from the ZIP-analysis and the creative process, we must use a series of...

ZIP-Analysis: Zoom-Innovation-Potential

ZIP-Analysis: Zoom-Innovation-Potential

ZIP-analysis is a simple method for developing gigamaps and finding potential areas for interventions, innovations and ideas. ZIP stands for zoom, innovation (idea, intervention, innovation) and potential (problem or ‘painpoint’). The ZIP-analysis maps below provide...
