Systematic Innovation

Technical Problem Solving

We have an excellent track record in solving technical problems for our clients. The techniques we use apply to all industries, technologies and processes. We are not experts in all these fields, merely experts in systematically solving problems.

Someone, somewhere has solved your problem before

We can determine the root cause of your problem, how this problem has been generically solved before in the outside world and how we can achieve a specific solution that is right for you. However, we must first recognize that Systematic Innovation is only ever as effective as its Problem Definition process. It is often said that 90% of a problem is defining what the problem is. Systematic Innovation concurs with this view. It also goes further.

Fundamental to Problem Definition are what we term as the following:
     - Problem / Opportunity Explorer
     - Function and Attribute Analysis
     - S-Curve Analysis
     - Ideality / Ideal Final Result

To give you a better understanding of our approach to the instrumental part of Problem Solving, we invite you to explore the Problem Definition packs available to download in both English and Chinese:
     - Problem Definition Pack (English)
     - Problem Definition Pack (Chinese)

Intellectual Property

Since we started in 1996, we haven’t failed to successfully design around a patent, despite examining several hundred thousand.

This –difficult to believe – claim is made possible thanks to the kit of tools present in the TRIZ/Systematic Innovation portfolio.

The only way to be convinced about the claim is to try it.

We offer a range of services.
At the basic level, we analyze and compare patents using the Evolution Potential tool. This allows a client to establish which evolutionary trend jumps a given patent has and has not yet made, and therefore see which jumps it Is going to make in the future.

At the more advanced level, we offer a complete design-around or strengthening Service. Our aim; provide you with future-proof intellectual property.

Eyes On The World

The world of technology is moving at an ever-faster rate of change. It is becoming impossible for any one organization to track what is happening in their own industry, never mind what is happening in others.

In true ‘someone, somewhere already solved your problem’ fashion, the global knowledge framework provided by Systematic Innovation allows us to see and codify the gaps and overlaps between different industry sectors.

What are the opportunities to export your solution to someone else?
What are the emerging threats to your technology?
How are your customers changing?
What discontinuous innovations can be expected to influence your market in the coming years?

These are the sorts of questions we are able to provide rapid and reliable answers to.

Team Builder Creativity Scan

Take the Scan by clicking here.
(takes between 10 and 15minutes)

One of the nice things about having such a large database of people taking the Scan is that we get to learn which combinations of personality types do and don’t match well with each other in a team environment.

We have also designed a series of distance-learning education modules aimed at helping people to improve their capabilities along any of the measured creativity attributes.
