Inventive Problem Solving (IPS) – helps individuals solve complex problems by supporting both the analytical and solution-synthesis stages of problem solving. The IPS process is organized into four steps:
- Document the problem
- Formulate the problem
- Generate ideas and develop solution concepts
- Evaluate results and plan implementation
This comprehensive approach provides critical assistance for solving previously unsolvable problems and improving existing situations.
IPS application is supported by the following software:
- Professional Tools
- Innovation WorkBench® (IWB) – a comprehensive tool designed to support the process of addressing the most challenging technological problems using proprietary analysis technique and unique knowledge base to generate a comprehensive set of inventive solutions
- Knowledge Wizard® (KW) – a comprehensive business tool designed to support decision-making process using proprietary analysis technique and unique knowledge base to generate a comprehensive set of opportunities
- Ideation Office for Complexity Management (IOCM) – a comprehensive tool to address complex situations characterized by one or more of the following elements of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity. Ambiguity).
- Simplified Tools
- Ideation Brainstorming (IBS) – an analytical tool to serve as a personal facilitator designed to help finding inventive solutions in various areas
- Express Situation Assessment and Management (ESAM) – an analytical tool to address complex situations characterized by one or more of the following elements of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity. Ambiguity).
