Mad Scientist Lab
Experiments Speed Learning

Lab Goals
• Identify assumptions to test
• Decide which assumption to test FIRST
• Brainstorm the fastest way to (in)validate this assumption
• Design 1-2 experiments to run over the next 2 weeks
3
5 STEPS
12345
Share “as-is” and “to-be” stories
Collect and prioritize assumptions
Brainstorm experiments with a Mad Scientist
Select the “best” experiment
Present your experiment, enlist help
6
Stories Guide Product Development
Compelling stories are about change
Figure out the current story
Tell anew story
Stories enable us to step into another person’s shoes
Questions to Answer
1. Who has this problem?2.What’s the pain?3.How severe is this pain relative to others?
Story: Re-thinking the MRI for Kids
Transforming Terror into Delight
Examine Anxiety Points

SEPARATIONWILL MY PARENTS LEAVE ME?
PAINIS THIS GOING TO HURT?
THE DOCTORSPEED AND EFFICIENCY IS OFTEN SEEN AS DISLIKE
THE UNKNOWNKIDS OFTEN ASSUME THE WORST
Transforming Terror into Delight
“As is”
“To be”
Figure out the current story
Tell anew story
Experiment Protocol:
1. Choose a team to collaborate with.2. Decide which team talks !rst. This is team “A.”
16
Team A performs a skit to share the problem with Team B
Team B listens deeply and notes assumptions (one thought per Post-It)
17
Team B performs a skit to share the problem with Team A
Team A listens deeply and notes assumptions (one thought per Post-It)
18
Tell the New Story1. Establish characters and relationships2. Show the the character’s objective3. Set the scene (where)
TIPS: Show how she overcomes the challenge Show outcome, with main character as the hero NOT the productPerson changes as an outcome of the experience
Brainstorm a skit to show how you’ll reduce or eliminate the pain
Team A performs a skit to share the solution ideawith Team B
Team B listens deeply and notes assumptions (one thought per Post-It)

22
Rank assumptionsOrder assumptions from most to least important
Most
Least
Design experiments to test your top 1-2 assumptions
Plan: what to test. It should be a piece of your bigger idea.
1. What we believe is (un)true... (assumptions, guesses)
2. What we want to learn (prove / disprove)
Elect Mad ScientistsOne member of each team rotates to the team on the right to suggest wild ideas
Stoke
Brainstorm Experiments
Little bets. Build on the ideas of others with a “Yes, and...,” Be as visual as possible. Encourage wild ideas. One conversation at a time. Headline! Defer judgment. Stay on topic.
Brainstorm ways to test an assumption in the smallest way possible.
3. How might we prove / disprove... (Little bets)
Come up with at least 6 wild ideas for experiments:
What will you commit to?
We, <team name> commit to learning... (something to prove or disprove)What we need to learn !rst is...To do this, the experiment we will run is...We’ll measure success/failure by...The help we need is...<Name> will post results on myproject.is by <speci!c day, THIS month>
Add it to your calendar now!
Team Sharing / Enlisting Co-conspirators
We, <team name> commit to learning... (something to prove or disprove)What we need to learn !rst is...To do this, the experiment we will run is...We’ll measure success/failure by...The help we need is...<Name> will post results on myproject.is by <speci!c day, THIS month>
