The Art of Engineering Thinking with the PRIZ Platform
As an engineer or innovator, you may often find yourself faced with complex problems that require a solution. In these situations, it can be tempting to rely solely on your own knowledge and experience to find a solution. However, have you ever considered the benefits of using problem-solving tools? Why do we need these tools, and what can we gain from incorporating creative thinking instruments into our problem-solving process? In this article, we’ll explore the importance of problem-solving tools and the advantages they offer for engineers and innovators. Let’s start with a definition, and try to answer what is engineering…

Beta release: AI Facilitator – Phase I
AI is not going to replace you, the one who is using AI will! With the recent release of GPT-3 (soon GPT-4) by OpenAI many companies started leveraging its capabilities. So, why wouldn’t we? Actually, our long-term vision anyways is to create a machine-assisted innovation platform. OpenAI just enabled us to do it earlier. We’re excited to share that our AI Facilitator is now available in beta and it’s the first step in our big plan. You may have heard people discussing whether machines can solve real problems, but the truth is, they can only provide solutions that have already…
Changes vs Innovations. What is the difference?
Our life is full of changes. We change apartments, cars, work, accept a new position, start learning, etc. We make a lot of changes at our work too – maintain equipment, clean the products, change vendors, and hire or fire people. And we can continue the list of possible changes endlessly. The question is, do we need these changes or not? Are they innovations or just changes? In most cases, people don’t bother much to analyze or even think about the reason for any change they make. Here, let’s do the simple analysis that everyone should do. And we’ll do…
Innovation is the solution to the right problem
As we already discussed in one of our previous blogs (What is the problem?), the main issue in the problem-solving process is to identify the right problem and to separate between a failure and the actual problem. We should always be concentrating on problem-solving and not wasting the time on fixing the failure. As a quick reminder, a single failure can, and usually does cause several different problems.Some recommendations on how to define a problem statement described in the blog How to define a problem statement? The concept The concept is that failure can cause a wide variety of problems….
