Problem-Solving

Project

You provide the details of the situation and success criteria, we solve the problem.

Facilitation

We serve as a member of your team, combining your expertise and the Innovation on Demand methodology to systematically analyze and resolve the problem.

Coaching

Our specialists provide training in Innovation on Demand methodology to your associates in such a way that they completely understand the application. Then we lead them through a real-life problem-solving process, ensuring that the success criteria are met and maximum benefits of the Innovation on Demand methodology are realized.

Product/Process Improvement

We use our Innovation on Demand methodology to thoroughly analyze functional parameters of your system or product. This analysis helps discovering the weak links in your system, and then we draw on applicable knowledge that is outside of your area of expertise to develop unique concepts for continued improvement of your product or process.

Design for the Future

The best way to predict the future is to design it. Design for the Future is one of the modules of the Innovation on Demand methodology. This module is based on the notion that all systems follow similar evolution path: birth, infancy, rapid growth, maturity and decline. In addition, this module uses a set of established trends (laws) of evolution of functional systems, which enable a well-aimed R&D program once the current stage of system's development is determined.

Proactive Failure Prevention

Inventing failures is the reason for Proactive Failure Prevention (PFP). Whereas widely accepted failure analysis methodologies consider a system and its components in a static mode, PFP considers a system as a "living organism," and for good reason. Majority of failures take place when several system components malfunction, thus creating a chain of events, which leads to overall system failure. Next, we substitute an inventive question - how can we make it happen? -- for a conventional question - how did it happen? Inventive type problems are usually much easier to resolve than research type problems.
