1. Introduction
This topic provides an exercise in Ideation. There is a special focus on this form of ideation as it relates to the Lean Startup. The essential idea is that if you can find an opportunity that stems from people, groups, or activities you have been involved with previously, you will have instant authority and credibility. Obviously the more deeply involved you have been - the more credibility and authority you immediately command.
This is a popular approach to ideation and a worthwhile exercise as well. Knowing this process will help you understand how to ideate this way in the future, and you will always be aware of this as an opportunity generator.
