Analytical services

Guidelines

Services provided by Ideation are customized to fit objectives, requirements, and budget of an enterprise or an individual.  To ensure complete customers’ satisfaction, Ideation has created a structured process, which includes the following steps:

  1. Non-disclosure execution; either customer’s or Ideation’s
  2. Completion of the Innovation Situation Questionnaire® (ISQ) for a challenging problem that has not been solved for at least one year
  3. Preliminary evaluation of the ISQ® by Ideation’s TRIZ scientists to ensure the problem is decipherable and/or suitable for training
  4. Providing a quotation/proposal
  5. Establishing an agreement that clarifies deliverables and customer expectations
  6. Conducting the workshop, facilitating meetings with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) or generating solution concepts (when working as a think tank)
  7. Evaluation of concepts of solutions, selection of the concepts for implementation and developing the implementation plan
  8. Following up throughout the implementation until the solution concept is successfully implemented

It is the belief of Ideation that what differentiates us from others is our commitment to the customer. This is exhibited in the way we nurture the entire problem-solving process until the solutions are successfully implemented.
