SYSTEMATIC INNOVATION WORKSHOP

Kindly sponsored by Department of Sustainability and Environment, Victoria

Systematic Innovation offers a process for first defining and then solving just about any problem, be it personal or organisational, a start-from-scratch, blank piece of paper opportunity, or a highly constrained, change-one-element-leave-9999-alone challenge.  It can be used in incremental, continuous improvement programs, or for developing major step-change / disruptive innovations.

Systematic Innovation contains a wide selection of different tools, methods and strategies.  The four most significant elements are Contradictions, Ideality, Functionality and Resources, each of which offers users challenging new perspectives on the way they look at problems or opportunities.

Each of these four tools of Systematic Innovation helps you understand the innovation process in a fundamentally different way.

Systematic Innovation as a whole is a method that offers both simplicity and considerable depth.  Expertise in the whole method may take some time to achieve, but this systematic transformation training will enable you to approach your service problems and opportunities in new and effective ways.  Systematic Innovation is about generating real solutions to real problems, and consequently, about generating tangible business benefit.

About the workshop

This workshop will focus on learning the tools contained in the breakthrough method and will allow participants the opportunity to deploy the methods to work on in-depth case study examples. Throughout the workshop participants are encouraged to work on their own problem and opportunity situations. We think this is one of the things that makes our workshops unique – not only do participants learn new techniques and problem solving strategies, but they get to deploy them in order to also generate new solutions to actual work problems.

Systematic Innovation consists of a rich set of powerful tools that are able to help people and organisations with their breakthrough innovation challenges. To the beginner the number of tools and the different ways they can be used can appear to be confusing - indeed on occasions over-whelming! So it is generally good practice to consider just a few of the tools first and use them together on a number of problems to see how they work.

This course will help you understand the basic Systematic Innovation Tool set. By covering each topic in turn and most importantly doing the exercises then you should be in a position to use Systematic Innovation for a wide range of problems and challenges.

The workshop will be taught through a series of short lectures followed by hands-on participant exercises.
