Development of a Model of Product Innovativeness for Large Packaged Software:...Steve Remington
This project uses a design science research (DSR) approach to develop a model of product innovativeness for large packaged (i.e. enterprise systems) software. The project was motivated by the lack of a suitable model to assess the level of innovativeness of business intelligence (BI) software products. The design of the model was informed by a literature-based innovation output indicator (LBIOI) content analysis of 17 years of press releases and publicly available financial records to understand the sources, categories and rate of innovation of typical large BI platform vendor, and a concept-centric literature review of academic research on product and customer innovativeness. The model of product innovativeness for large packaged software (LPS) consists of seven constructs and six associations grouped into an industry perspective and a customer perspective. The industry perspective of the model can be used as stand-alone model to determine the inherent level of innovativeness of a new version of LPS, while the customer perspective can be used in conjunction with the industry perspective to assess the level of innovativeness of a new version of LPS relative to the specific circumstances of the customer. The primary contribution made by this research is the detailed definition of a draft model of product innovativeness for LPS that will be useful for academic researchers and practitioners alike, and the extension of the concept of product innovativeness into IS research. The secondary contribution made by this research is a demonstration that the LBIOI method can be used to describe and understand the nature of innovation for a single software company over an extended period.
Is your business coordinating the application of science and technology with social and business innovation to develop whole solutions to complex problems?

Open Innovation: An Paradigm Shift for Sustainable Brand Pioneers - Henry Che...Sustainable Brands
Open innovation is the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal value creation, and expand the markets for external use of innovation. The paradigm assumes that for invention and scientific advancement, firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as they look to advance their technology. Dr. Henry Chesborough provides a look at the idea of open innovation as a backdrop to this year's launch of GreenXChange, an open sustainable intellectual property platform and coalition launched at Davos in January.
Increasingly we are hearing about the need to support and foster healthcare innovation…be it product, process, social or organizational. Join our panel for a stimulating session that will explore innovation from a variety of perspectives and contexts. Areas of focus will include what is innovation and what is it not? What does it mean to lead for innovation? How do you turn thought and ideas into action for change? What does innovation look like within the health care setting? How can health leaders create a culture and context for innovation and develop systems and partnerships that create collective impact for individuals and communities.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

7. My Background with Invention Machine & TRIZ
• Ingersoll-Rand Power Tools, 1989 - 1998
• 1997 trained as a trainer for TRIZ problem solving
and on Invention Machine software
• Trained engineers/designers how to do more
effective problem solving and cost savings for hand
tools
• Dade Behring, 1998 - 2004
• Medical diagnostics blood analysis company
• Formerly DuPont Medical Products, now Siemens
Diagnostics
• GE Energy, 2004 - 2009
• 3 years as a combustion Design Engineer
• Introduced TRIZ and Goldfire to engineers, scientists
and IP personnel
• 1.5 years for Solar Technologies
• Spring Life Device Manufacturer, 2009 - 2010
• CSC, Computer Sciences Corporation, 2011 -
Present
• Supporting ARMY Research & Development test labs
8. Applications of Goldfire
• Problem Statement:
How to apply Goldfire to company problems using Root
Cause Analysis, Function Models and TRIZ basics for
solution creation
• Contradiction:
Psychological inertia-“there is NO WAY software and a
process is going to help you be more creative.”
• Ideal Final Result:
More engineers have access to Goldfire & understand
basics of TRIZ principals to solve future problems
10. 1st Use-Project:
Create a Unique Patent-able Torque Tool
Solution: Team developed a function model describing nuts
vibrating loose over time; air motor and mechanism manufacturing
were major concern issues.
Benefits:
• Goldfire identified vibration as key feature and suggested
removing air motor and swinging mechanism.
• Goldfire said eliminate air powered motor and swinging
mechanism device for tightening lug nuts.
Results:
• Everyone said this was impossible, UNTIL software suggested
using a high vibration source to eliminate the air motor and
swinging mechanism TO TIGHTEN the nuts.
• The software recognized this as a potential solution
contradiction since we documented nuts come loose
due to vibrations caused during driving.
WOW!!!
10
11. 2nd Use-Project:
Why are these holes cracking?
Challenge: RCAs & FMEAs get directed by the loudest
speakers in the room, usually the RCA champions, who
usually think they are the expert.
• When you use Goldfire, it is the expert in the room and more
issues are uncovered that would have been most likely ignored
or missed due to the Human Expert not having the world's
domain expertise at their fingertips.
• Team initially came up with a Fishbone diagram with only 11
ribs for why holes crack in hot parts.
• 11 ribs… and not one mention of any manufacturing cause!
Solution: Used Goldfire to create a Fishbone diagram with 97
ribs; everyone wanted to know where I “FOUND” it. The team
investigated shot peening of the holes to improve residual stresses
at the machine surfaces of the holes.
11
12. 3nd Use-Project:
How to wash clothes & dishes more efficiently?
Challenge: How to wash (clothes or dishes) more
efficiently?
• I did a DEMO for the Appliance team in late 2007
and asked, “What problem if it were solved would
make you Engineer of the Year in your group?”
Results: Goldfire in 10 minutes said solution was
centered around STEAM, STEAM, STEAM and more
STEAM.
• Within 10 minutes I had the complete R&D team’s
attention and they saw the evolution of high
efficiency appliances and their competitors capturing
even more market share.
• All major competitors had the patents and white
papers on cleaning with steam for residential
appliances.
12
13. 5th Use-Project:
Eliminate Solar Frame Assembly & Field Issues
Solution:
Trim “un-needed” parts using Goldfire & evaluate what
could be eliminated in solar panel design and packaging.
Built a simple solar panel function model. Goldfire asked if
the frame could be integral to another part.. like the $$ flat
glass AND showed that packaging boxes had many potential
improvement areas in the past 35 years.
Results: Eliminated aluminum frame, tape, screws, ergonomics
issues, module assembly issues (>$51.00) & new formed glass
$42.00. Shipping waste also eliminated and still gives customer
functions of eliminated parts Box $13.00 and landfill waste, BUT
Lego like corners $10.00 & CAN BE RE-USED!.
14. 6th Use-Project:
Why are all these springs breaking?
Challenge: Spring lifting
devices with main springs
breaking in a weird tearing
shape.
When I heard the cause was
spring overload and only
overload, I knew this was a
job for Goldfire.
Results: Team was amazed to see this MANY common spring failure
modes. RCA in Goldfire has ability to link causes and effects with
related improvement Patents. Goldfire showed this type of failure was
CAUSED by twisting and pulling, so we redesigned spring ends.
15. Using Goldfire for Patent Disclosures & Filings
Challenge: How to grow business, not lose market
share, come up with new product ideas faster and
find ways to make existing products more efficient.
How do you find information, no matter what form it
is in or where it is stored. How do you do MUCH
more with less resources, better, faster and
cheaper.
Corporate agenda: Innovation is key to staying on
top. Senior leadership searching for REPEATABLE
methods and consistent processes to generate new
products. Engineering managers trying to accelerate
the number of patents per year as one of their
“number one” high priority measurable metrics.
Results: 28 Patent Disclosures at Gas Turbine & 3 at Solar:
in less than 4 years
15
16. Reaction to the Software
People at first do not believe any software could actually
help you be more innovative and creative.
• How can a software package help you think by generating
ideas, looking for causes and effect relationships and breaking
fundamental concepts down into simplified functions?
• It asks you what you are trying to solve, and what the causes
and effects are that you know about..
I did a demo in 2007 for the research team in India.
• Were very surprised to see it suggest solutions to one of their
research problems to making LEDs brighter.
• I had JUST created a function model and within a few minutes
it was suggesting unique solution directions.

18. What is TRIZ, how is Goldfire related, & is
TRIZ experience required?
Recommended Book: “And suddenly
the inventor appeared: TRIZ, the
theory of inventive problem solving” by
Genrich Altshuller (2004)
Origin: USSR by Altshuller after WWII
Theory: Innovation can be taught; step
by step methodology that can lead to a
repeatable process.
Basis: Exhaustive patent search
conducted by Altshuller
Today: Considered an empirical
method of innovation

21. The Problem Statement
Analysis Approach to Current Solution Road Blocks:
Define your Roadblocks based on 5W’s and H.
Answer the 6 basic questions of journalism:
1. Who? Who has the problem? ENGINEERING
2. What? What does the problem seem to be?
What are the resources?
3. When? When does the problem occur? All the time?
Under certain circumstances?
4. Where? Where does the problem occur?
5. Why? Why does the problem occur?
6. How? How does the problem occur?
21
22. The Problem Statement – Asking Why5
Ask "Why" Five Times
Ask "Why" a problem occurred and then ask "Why" four more times.
For example...
1. Why has the machine stopped?
A fuse blew because of an overload
2. Why was there an overload?
There wasn't enough lubrication for the bearings
3. Why wasn't there enough lubrication?
The pump wasn't pumping enough
4. Why wasn't lubricant being pumped?
The pump shaft was vibrating due to damaged impeller
5. Why was the impeller damaged?
Chips of foreign material entered into the pump
Problem Statement: Foreign material chips are damaging the pump impeller.

23. Problem Definition to Solving the Problem
1) Define the problem 5) Determine Contradictions
List all requirements and constraints Technical or Physical contradictions
We want this but we can’t because
of this. We get this because of this. 6) Determine Input Parameters
Use 2 of 39 or other parameters
2) Create Ideal Final Result (IFR) 7) Physical or Technical Contradiction
Eliminate the deficiencies Convert between the two contradictions
Preserve the advantages If Technical then use Contradiction
Not more complicated Matrix
No new disadvantages
8) Determine General Solution
Use 40 Inventive Principles
3) Determine the differences
Compare original system with IFR 9) Examine Solutions
Convert generic solutions to specific
Does solution increase Ideality?
4) Create Ideality Equation No – go to step 5
List differences as Benefit, Cost, Does solution solve the problem?
