So why do people innovate anyways? Why do we solve problems?

At the end of the day, we are all innovators. we solve problems every day many times a day. The question is, why not show off our abilities to innovate, change lives, and change the world?

How does PRIZ Innovation Platform help us?

PRIZ Innovation Platform guides us (the innovators) through the innovation process. The process helps us to generate better ideas. As part of the process, it automatically documents the whole process. It’s proven that the innovation process is unique every time for any project. Hence, we can use this information to protect the ownership of the ideas.

Typical innovation process.

Even though, as we mentioned, every innovation is unique, we claim there are several very clear phases of almost any innovation.

Please remember that any innovation is a result of solving somebody’s problem. We have already discussed this in our blog: Innovation is a solution to somebody’s problem

Decide who are you working with

As was mentioned, PRIZ Platform supports individual and collaborative work. If we decide to work in a team, make sure that you are using the correct workspace.

At this point, you can invite your team into your workspace. All team members will be able to access all projects inside the workspace.

Start with the known tasks

Create a list of tasks that you think should be completed during the course of the project. Don’t worry, you and your team will be able to create additional tasks at any point during the project.

Define Problem Statement

The problem statement is by far one of the most important steps in the entire project.

Do not forget:

The problem is not what you see, hear or feel; the problem is what you should do as a result of what you see, hear or feel.

For more details please visit our blog: How to define a problem statement?

Once a problem statement is defined describe the success criteria of the project, otherwise, you will not be able to decide if the project is completed.
