Rethinking the standard / classic model of intelligence to develop innovative new ways of knowing.
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Systematic innovation expert working at Intel Corporation and through my own firm, Innomation, LLC. Executive Committee Member for the Altshuller Institute for TRIZ Studies.
The methods I use are based on a Russian process called The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). I have been studying and applying these processes to technical and business problems within Intel and for my clients including a hospital chain, a restaurant chain, and manufacturing firms to name a few. I see the real value of TRIZ to the CI community as its contribution to product advancements, patent circumvention (legal), and the ability to understand and apply the Trends of Engineering and the Trends of Business Evolution to an organization and speed the advancement of that organization towards its ideal natural evolutionary state. Further, I have used the Trends to predict how systems, processes, organizations and products will evolve and use that insight to develop systems that leap frog the competitor’s.
I hold a BS in Nuclear Engineering from Texas A&M University and a MBA in Finance from the University of New Mexico. Further, I hold a L3 certificate from the St Petersburg International TRIZ Association and will be applying for my L4 certificate within a few weeks. My wife Carole and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico with our three sons: Dante, Roan, and Shane.

Let me put a question to your question: Do CI Professionals rummage through underclothes like Detectives ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/peril-at-end-house )? I dare suppose CI Professionals don't. ;-)

Now if that exhibit hall could be broken down and transported around, now that could be a good idea....
Have we all been here? Given today's competitive climate and a series of changes in management later, we have to go in there and either 'drink from the fire hose' or 'painfully tease' the need from those colleagues who have mandates to make decisi...
Thanks Andrew, let's hook up across borders in areas that can add value for our troops.
Cheers, Jens
You coming into the fold a bit more Arthur, subject to diary clashes? Please advise and thanks in advance
Great! I recognise some familiar faces in there. Congratulations to all involved, Jens and other hard working colleagues within the Swiss Competitive Intelligence Alliance, Kurt and friends. Something to aim for in the UK
Too right Melanie, too right! Great to see that Bonnie had been allowed to travel for good behaviour, no doubt! :-) Thank you again...
