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…

Following one of our previous releases of the Process Functional Modeling (PFM) tool, we have added a summary tab to help innovators to visualize the overall status of the analyzed process. The information provided in the summary tab is mainly built to provide suggestions about where should we focus our attention and what operation we need to invest in. The summary tab presents the following:

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…

Organizational processes are a vital part of any business, and improving them can lead to cost savings, increased efficiency, and better overall performance. Whether it’s identifying and resolving issues within a larger process or finding ways to reduce costs, the task of process improvement falls on many professionals within an organization. For those who work in teams, the process of analyzing, identifying problems, and finding solutions to improve the process is a daily task. And we created a tool to help with these tasks. Today, we want to introduce the newly released tool in the PRIZ Innovation Platform that is…

Improving processes is essential for any organization looking to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall performance. Whether streamlining operations, automating repetitive tasks, or eliminating bottlenecks, there are many ways to improve processes and boost productivity. In today’s fast-paced business environment, organizations that can quickly and effectively adapt to changing market conditions are more likely to succeed. By identifying opportunities for improvement and implementing solutions, businesses can stay ahead of the competition and achieve their goals. This article will explore the benefits of Process Functional Modeling and how it can be used to make strategic and tactical decisions that lead…

We always talk about solving problems and improving processes of an operation, a part of a bigger process. This is great! In fact, it is always encouraged to break the bigger, more complex process into smaller pieces so we can simplify the problem we are working on. However, this approach may create another issue. The engineers working on a problem, especially in large complex processes, might end up diving into the wrong operation of the process. In this article, we introduce the newly released tool in the PRIZ Innovation Platform that is built to help engineers look at the whole…

The last thing that we want to deal with as problem-solves is to waste our time on routine boring work, like copy-pasting data from one system to another. In many cases, we all already keep data in Excel sheets or something similar, so why would anyone need to invest the time before s/he can start working with that data? From now, you don’t have to! Following a number of requests, we just released a new feature that enables you to import data from CSV directly into the tool, and it takes seconds. The import is currently available on 3 tools:…

Following several requests, we made it possible to view and download your invoices without needing to contact us. From now on, the last 10 invoices will be visible under the workspace settings -> billing. In case you need older invoices, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to send the invoice for any period you ever paid for. You can find the invoices at the bottom of the workspace billing page. The list includes the billing period, the amount, whether or not the invoice has already been paid, and the list to download the PDF version…
