Example of a good HMW statement: How might we redesign the ice-cream buying experience for kids so that it can be more portable and less messy.

How might we explained?

We use the How Might We format because it suggests that a solution is possible and because they offer you the chance to answer them in a variety of ways. A properly framed How Might We doesn't suggest a particular solution, but gives you the perfect frame for innovative thinking.
