AN INNOVATION MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK TO ENHANCE TRIZ DIFFUSION IN SMES

Paolo CARRARA, Walter MORANDI, Valentina CAMPAGIORNI, Eleonora TANDOI

Abstract


SMEs cannot pursue long-lasting and wide innovation projects, rather they request focused innovation steps. The same can be said about learning TRIZ: they do not want to learn a methodology, they want solutions in brief time. Warrant Innovation Lab has already worked on this topic. However, the interest in learning TRIZ were not arisen. To enhance the chance to spark interest about TRIZ, the authors propose an Innovation Management Framework to orchestrate a tailored innovation process relying on TRIZ-skilled partners. This framework generates two main results: a) the customer familiarizes with TRIZ and gradually acquires some basic TRIZ-skills; b) the one-shot session service becomes a continuative R&D support formula.
