taken place in the laboratory rather on the battlefield. Iam thinking that the truly epoch-making event of the year may be man’s first successful attemptto release atomic energy, through the isolation of Uranium 235.” (Sarnoff 1941: 37) In keepingwith his reputation as a visionary, Sarnoff projects a utopian scenario: With atomic power, people may be able to light, heat, ventilate and refrigerate their homes with ease and at trifling expense. Ships, railway trains, automobiles and airplanes may be fueled for life at the time they are built. Men may carry in their pockets personal radio telephones which will enable them to communicate through the world. A myriad of new products

actually spent on teaching them how to identify theircustomers." Students are not conducting experiments in the stereotypical, laboratory-situatedway, but instead through Customer Discovery: students are "testing [their] hypothesis" by talkingwith and gathering feedback from customers. Exploring user needs is the foundation of theentire Customer Discovery process, to determine the value proposition, or the "value" thatcustomer will derive from the product's use. As one interviewee said, "once you understand thevalue, then later you can transform that into your requirements, documentation to conductresearch, [you can] build product, whatever.”Interviewees agreed that Customer Discovery is also when students understand, define andreframe the problem
