Innovation Flow:
Innovation Flow is our proprietary approach based on our insights into the science of growing Ideas into Innovations. Innovation Flow provides a structured framework, systematic process and innovation tools to grow ideas into innovation.

The development of Innovation Flow is strongly influenced by the principles and philosophy of TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving). TRIZ is a popular, scientifically based inventive problem solving process. Companies that use the TRIZ approach for innovation and new product development include GE, Dow, Honeywell, Intel, IBM, Motorola, Xerox, P&G, Samsung etc. It is based on the idea that there are universal principles of invention that are the basis for creative innovations that advance technology. Once these principles can be identified and codified, they can be used to make the process of invention more predictable.

Systematic innovation is widely used today to improve products, services, and systems. It greatly reduces the time to produce breakthrough ideas and inventions. The Innovation Flow Workshop is designed to help us to find the best information, tools, resources and strategies to help us utilize this powerful problem-solving and product development methodology in our organization.

Objective:

Train technologists in the practice of a structured innovation framework for creating ideas and for growing ideas into innovation. The two-day workshop will train participants in applying various innovation tools and techniques on real-life technology problems.

The participants will form small teams (3-4 members) and will select real-life technology problems to work on during Workshop. They will practice the innovation tools and techniques on these problems using the Thatva Innovation Platform. Participants will have continued access to Thatva for two more weeks following the program.

Record your project work in Thatva Lite Innovation enabling Software platform.

Learn the basic concepts of systematic innovation using a TRIZ-inspired approach. Learn to implement a systematic process to:
• Create innovative solutions to complex technological problems
• Create strategic intellectual property around these innovative solutions
• Grow strong technical ideas or breakthrough inventions into successful innovations



We have developed distinct training programs to meet the needs of three segments of participants
• Individual Contributors - Engineers, Inventors, Scientists, R&D professionals
• Managers - Program Managers, Project Leaders, Middle Management Professional
• Executives - General Managers, Technology Leaders, Business Leaders
Here we have outlined our Innovation training program for your technologists and R&D professionals. This falls into the first category of Individual contributors - Engineers, Inventors and Scientists etc.
