Sprint Two: Data Enabled Fan Experiences
This article originally appeared on Medium, as part of the Open Music Initiative.
The OMI fellows have officially wrapped Sprint Two, capping off the Summer Lab! Sprint two was structured the same as Sprint One- 6 teams all tasked with tackling the Ideo process in 5 days. The challenge was new, though: This time it’s all about the fans.
We asked teams to first imagine that all the ventures they designed around collecting complete data in Sprint One were successful- meaning every single recording had complete ownership & attribution data. Their Sprint Two ventures should respond to this question: How can complete song data enable an enhanced fan experience?
We found ourselves asking the teams the following questions often: Could they design enhanced experiences for fans who aren’t looking for high engagement interactions? Could they design experiences that would be impossible without this complete data? Could they design a fan experience that could also inspire the artist?
Below’s a quick overview of each venture- follow the link to see their full post.
