Innovation Workshop at ARAI, Pune



I conducted a one-day workshop for engineers and scientists at the Automotive Research association of India, Pune last week.

You will find the Presentation Material "Innovation Flow" at my LinkedIn page:

Morning:

My friend Prashant (PhD Mech Eng from IIT Bombay, > 10 Yrs Industrial excperience and expert on Automotive technology) facilitated this session. I used the first half of the day teaching tools to define and analyze the Problem. We used Five-Whys for root-cause analysis, Nine windows to capture the breadth of the problem and TRIZ Function Mapping to identify the key interactions between various elements. We listed about 15 precisely defined technical problem statements at the end of this exercise.

We had a grand lunch at the ARAI Caffetaria and had a lively discussion with the participants over lunch. The ARAI folks were very enthusiastic about learning Innovation tools and they were all deep domain experts.

Noon:

In the noon session, we formulated TRIZ technical contradiction, used the Contradiction Matrix and discussed the Inventive Principles. The session started at 9.30am and went on till 5.30 pm. The session was kept very interactive and the ARAI team participated enthusiastically in the various problem solving exercises. Despite the grand lunch, nobody looked sleepy during the post-lunch session :).

Next:

We agreed to have a follow up session next on focused brainstorming of Ideas using TRIZ Triggers and Evaluation of Ideas using Six Hats method.

    The first is the Lange 1815 calendar watch, a total of rolex replica watches white 18K gold and 18K rose gold two kinds of material optional. Why is the breitling uk 1815 series calendar is a surprise this year? The reason is very simple, Lange so far only two calendar, before this only Saxonia series calendar calendar calendar, this year a new, and changed the design, the fake watches use of pointer. Of course, more importantly, the new calendar watch, the use of manual movement, no big calendar, the price of 297,000, and Saxonia series calendar calendar calendar, the price of more than 350,000, so compared to the new calendar Watch in the price is very attractive, even lower than the Lange moon phase version.

Why & How we should study AI & Machine Learning (6 Easy Steps)

AI & ML are fundamental new technologies that can create immense value to humankind. It is very important for us to learn AI & ML and apply this knowledge in our work.  If you are somebody like me without prior exposure to computers, you may wonder where to begin the journey – I did some homework and found an easy step-by-step using online resources . It takes only 6 easy steps to gain mastery in AI & ML. I will start with sharing with you the talk that Risto Siilasmaa (Chairman, Nokia) gave in Nov, 2017 – “Why you should study AI and Machine Learning and how I did it”. Step # 1 - Risto Siilasmaa started his journey into AI & ML by asking, “Where could I find good material explaining how machine learning works in terms that would speak to an engineer who loves to understand how things work?” Step # 2 - “ Why not study machine learning myself and then explain what I learned to others who are struggling with the same questions. Perhaps I could mo...

Making Pirate Ships out of MRI - Design Thinking at its best

"..most effective insights we got came from kneeling down and  looking at rooms from the height of a child"  - Doug Dietz   http://www.healthymagination.com/stories/pediatric-adventures/ This is the story of how Doug Dietz transformed a MRI machine into a Pirate Ship. Doug is an expert in designing advanced medical equipments like the MRI. When he was at a hospital, he was pained to observe how a small child was so terrified to enter the machine for a scan. Thats when he felt the needs for understanding his customers - the kids in thsi case - and design his product in such a way that make his customers feel comfortable. He transformed teh huge MRI equipment into a pirate ship so that the kids are mesmerized by the experience of entering a pirate ship when they are getting scanned. I learnt about this from a TED Talk that Daid Kelley (of IDEO) gave on  How to build your creative confidence" -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16p9YRF0l-...

Archimedes' Bathtub, Newton's Apple and Einstein's Chair

When do Great Ideas come ? .... after Incubation  Archimedes had his bath, Galileo had his leaning tower,  Newton had his apple, and Einstein had his chair. All these Inventors were (a) intensely focused on solving specific physics problems (b) they had each looked at a variety of promising ideas, but reached an impasse after some stage (c) they smartly decided to move away from the scene - took a break (d) after some time, a fresh idea popped into their Mind (e) they recognized the potential of the idea and held on to it (f) they diligently worked on it  and finally developed a real breakthrough concept. Many Inventors have shared the vale of incubating their idea and described specific instances where the incubation phase is followed by a sudden enlightenment. We have heard the stories of Archimedes, Galileo and Newton too often - so let us focus on Einstein's story. You might have heard of Einstein's Violin but not about his chair - the chair that gave...
