Abstract

While the world is full of potential moonshot projects, there is an ever-growing disconnect between new ideas and their successful transformation into commercialized new products. Companies often struggle with inefficient resource allocation and the challenge of quickly assessing an idea’s feasibility. The burgeoning number of proof-of-concept (PoC) projects reflects the need to mitigate the risk of investing resources in potential failures. This study introduces the PoC Framework, a strategic tool that guides managers through the PoC journey, transforming initial ideas into real-world applications. Importantly, it promotes a mindset shift that equally values the proving and disproving of concepts. This approach saves resources by preventing the further development of non-viable ideas. The PoC Framework has been gaining traction among Silicon Valley firms, underscoring its practical relevance and effectiveness in fostering strategic thinking and overcoming hidden challenges within the PoC process.

架起创意与市场成功之间的桥梁:概念验证项目管理框架
虽然世界上充满了潜在的 "登月计划",但新创意与成功转化为商业化新产品之间的脱节却日益严重。公司常常苦于资源分配效率低下,难以快速评估创意的可行性。概念验证(PoC)项目数量的激增反映了人们需要降低将资源投入到潜在失败中的风险。本研究介绍了 PoC 框架,这是一种战略性工具,可指导管理人员完成 PoC 之旅,将最初的想法转化为现实世界中的应用。重要的是,它促进了一种思维方式的转变,即同样重视概念的证明和反驳。这种方法可以防止进一步开发不可行的想法,从而节省资源。PoC框架在硅谷企业中的影响力越来越大,凸显了它在促进战略思维和克服PoC过程中隐藏的挑战方面的实用性和有效性。
