unconscious insight. The capacity to produce something which is both

unique and useful.

WHAT IS INNOVATION?

INNOVATION DEFINEDInnovation is a new way of doing something or "new stuff

that is made useful". It may refer to incremental and emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking,

products, processes, or organizations.

Innovation may be defined as exploiting new ideas leading to the creation of a new product, process or service. It is

not just the invention of a new idea that is important, but it is actually “bringing it to market”, putting into practice and

exploiting it in a manner that leads to new products, services or systems that add value or improve quality.

LETS WARM YOUR BRAIN UP!

Rules of successful brainstorming

• Evaluation is prohibited• Wild ideas are encouraged• Quantity of ideas is emphasized• Build on the ideas of others.

Now we know more about the conceptual basis of brainstorming, see if we can handle the

situation differently

How do you accurately weigh a small puppy with just a standard household step-on weigh scale if the puppy is extremely lively and will not keep still?

Many hundreds of years ago a thief was charged with treasonagainst the KING and sentenced to death. The King, feeling slightly merciful, asked the man how he would like to die.Which way would you choose to die if you found yourself in thesame situation?

Group Brainstorming Exercise

The Glass Factory…….

A glass factory uses packers to pack glasses into cardboard cartons. The packers use newspaper to ensure that the glass will not break and is safe for delivery.

The problem: The packers tend to stop and waste time reading interesting articles. This costs time and money. Delivery becomes slow and efficiency is affected. How do we solve this???

The subway problem• A large city in the United States had a problem

with thefts of lightbulbs from its subway system.

• Thieves would unscrew the lightbulbs, leading to cost and security issues.

• The engineer who was given this challenge could not alter the location of the light bulbs, and he had a very small budget to work with, but he came up with a very lateral solution. What was it?

Idea evaluation tools

Sample evaluating questions to ask:• Will the idea work• Are the cost acceptable• Will others support the idea• Will the idea cause problems• Can you follow through and make it work• Is the idea specific enough to get a “yes” or

“no” decision

EXAMPLE:• A windsurfing enthusiast is about to replace his car. He needs one that not

only carries a board and sails, but also that will be good for business travel. He has always loved open-topped sports cars. No car he can find is good for all three things.

• His options are: An SUV/4x4, hard topped vehicle. A comfortable 'family car'. A station wagon/estate car. A convertible sports car.

• Criteria that he wants to consider are: – Cost. – Ability to carry a sail board safely. – Ability to store sails and equipment securely. – Comfort over long distances. – Fun! – Nice look and build quality to car.

Firstly he draws up the table shown in Figure 1, and scores each option by how well it satisfies each factor:

Next he decides the relative weights for each of the factors. He multiplies these by the scores already entered, and totals them. This is shown in Figure 2: 1=Poor, 2=Fair, 3=Good, 4=Very Good, 5=Excellent
