At first glance, 10k ft Insights looks like a regular Pinterest-like tool for the enterprise.
But after watching the video and playing around with it a little, I can see how this could be quite valuable. It has nifty and slick capabilities to quickly gather, organize, share, and visualize your content and ideas. If you're on a team, this could be a great way to have a broader shared understanding of your strategy and analyses so that everyone's on the same page.
@_oli Really love this tool! Can’t wait to use it on my next project at a hackathon.
I've only got one question, does this work on mobile? I love the idea of a 'spark' but it’s highly unlikely I'll have a computer with me when I am out, which is usually when I have an idea or insight.
@astralwave We have a mobile prototype that we are testing in-house right now -- mainly around Spark creation and viewing. Based on feedback we get from users, we'll decide how to prioritize the work to get a release version of it out. Thanks for the feedback, +1 for mobile.
Thanks for adding us, @alirtariq!
And you nailed it — when we were designing 10kft Insights, we wanted it to be a simple way to collect and organize ideas and content, yet powerful enough to add structure to the creative process.
Right now, there are a lot of tools our there to do creative work (think Adobe, etc...), and there are new tools to streamline communication around work (think Slack, etc...). Our team wanted to create a tool that supports and engages everyone in the process and thinking that happens around creative work — something that keeps the “what we’re doing” with “why we’re doing it.” We just launched 10,000ft Insights last week and we’re really excited to share it with the creative community.
A couple things to know for anyone who is interested in trying it out:
- Your first project is free, forever.
- You can organize your content into different groups by dragging Sparks on top of each other, and nest multiple groups within other groups.
- There is a gallery of design thinking tools that you can apply to individual groups of Sparks or to the project as a whole.
- Every thinking tool generates data that can be visualized with the Decide Tool. This helps facilitate thoughtful discussions and evaluate different outcomes
- At every point you can both discuss and also summarize the key insight or decision so that everyone is on the same page
