| The
ultimate objective of Innovation is to create business value
by developing ideas from mind-to-market. However, trivial
obstacles create the delay in an organization’s aim to fasten
the ‘idea to cash’ process. Rigor and systematic deployment
are the key to deploy innovation successfully within an organization.
Innovation, now, is no more a ‘trial and error’ lateral thinking,
but a repeatable process. What is innovative about innovation
today is the realization that it can be achieved systematically
and that the innovator is an obsessive problem solver.
While creativity stems
from an individual perspective, Innovation can be institutionalized
from an organizational perspective.

| Creativity:
|
Ability
of a person to be creative, participate in creating or
be useful in a creative network of other people. |
| Invention:
|
An object, process,
or technique which displays and element of novelty |
| Innovation: |
Innovation is the
process of developing inventive solutions and bringing
them to a point where they can be implemented. Innovation
is getting creativity and invention into the marketplace.
|
|
| Innovative
organizations are Leaders in their industries, and innovation
is the key to their success. It is the most cost effective and
efficient means of achieving and sustaining competitive advantage
in business. |
| |
| Need
for Systematic Innovation |
| Creativity
and innovation have become strategic issues as organizations
strive to remain competitive. Business leaders are asking the
question: “How can we teach our people to be creative and innovative?” |
| |
| Today
organizations need to: |
- Make innovation a
core competency
- Direct the process
of innovation step by step
- Predict with a high
degree of certainty the evolution of organization's products
and services in the marketplace and be ready with profitable
breakthroughs
|
| Some answers
to these questions are found in Ideation-TRIZ or I-TRIZ,
which is a highly acclaimed methodology of structured
continuous innovation. |
- Used by more than
10,000 companies worldwide
- Practiced in more
than 40 countries
- Taught in more than
80 universities
- Ideation is staffed
by 85 percent of the world's leading TRIZ scientists
- Has trained more than
250,000 professionals around the globe
|
| I-TRIZ is
adopted by industries as diverse as Manufacturing, R&D,
Software, ITES/BPO, Hospitality & Services, etc,
to name a few, to solve critical problems. The common thread
is that each client comes with a fervent desire to build and
strengthen their innovation skills to enable them to capture
or retain the leadership position in their industry. |

| The
Ideation Brainstorming Technique |
|
Ideation Brainstorming helps users perform
lightweight problem solving. This is done with the help of
a software tool – Ideation Brainstorming v2.3.
The product is also equipped with an introduction to I-TRIZ
to give users a taste of the methodology’s basic principles
for inventive problem solving while providing the knowledge
and skills to brainstorm ideas. The software is structured
in an easy-to-use four-step process.
Step
1: Define Your Problem
Defining the system you want to improve or create is a critical
first step. Your answers will determine the systemic level
you use to consider the problem. By describing your system’s
primary function, the super systems it belongs to, detailing
inputs and outputs of the system, causes and critical conditions
of the problem and potential consequences if the situation
does not improve; you will create a true understanding of
the problem, identify your barriers to success and form an
Ideal Vision of the solution. Once you have accomplished this
step you are ready to move on to the next stage.
Step
2: Formulate Tasks and Brainstorm
Typically during problem solving, contradictions will surface.
The software’s 120 Inventive Principles or “operators” (patterns
of invention) represent best inventive practices that allow
you to generate a list of ideas on how to resolve contradictions
or in simpler terms - find a way to counteract any harmful
functions that may result while improving useful functions
– and move to realization of the solution’s Ideal Vision.
Step
3: Develop Concepts
In step three, you’ll harness the ideas you generated from
Step two and combine them into concepts. This segment also
helps you consider resources you may have to increase ideality.
Step
4: Evaluate Results
In the final segment, you’ll address subsequent tasks and
document your solution. |
