About Us :  About the Authors:  W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne are Professors of Strategy at INSEAD and authors of The New York Times Bestseller Blue Ocean Shift and the 3.6 million global bestseller Blue Ocean Strategy
W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne are Professors of Strategy at INSEAD, one of the world's top business schools, and co-directors of the INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute in Fontainebleau, France. For ten straight years, Kim and Mauborgne have been ranked in the top five management gurus in the world by Thinkers50. They are the authors of the over 4 million copy international bestseller Blue Ocean Strategy which is recognized as one of the most iconic and impactful strategy books ever written, and a New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Los Angeles Times Bestseller Blue Ocean Shift: Beyond Competing – Proven Steps to Inspire Confidence and Seize New Growth.

A Roadmap To Help Organizations Face New Challenges With Confidence:  With a speed and enthusiasm we did not expect, individuals, governments, companies, and nonprofits around the globe started to look at their world through the lens of red and blue oceans. The terms 'red oceans', 'blue oceans', and 'blue ocean strategy' soon entered the business vernacular. And the discussion moved from "What is blue ocean strategy?", to "How do we actually apply its theory and tools to shift from red to blue oceans?".  To meet this new challenge, we studied the organizations that had applied our theory and methodology to create and capture blue oceans. We analyzed their successes and failures and drew lessons to understand not only the common factors leading to a successful blue ocean shift but also the pitfalls and hurdles that got in the way. After more than a decade of new analysis, we published our second book, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Blue Ocean Shift. Blue Ocean Shift provides a roadmap any organization can apply to move from red to blue oceans in a way that their people own and drive the process to succeed.

Blank writes and teaches about customer development and the lean startup method. He is an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at Stanford; lectures at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, and is a senior fellow at Columbia University.  He has written four books: The Four Steps to the Epiphany, Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost, The Startup Owner's Manual and Holding a Cat by the Tail.

The TRIZ Journal started as early as in 1996 as a Web site dedicated for introducing and proliferating TRIZ, by the co-editors of Ellen Domb and Jim Kowalick.  It posted several to ten articles every month written by the editors and various authors over the world, thus served for spreading the understanding of classical and modernized TRIZ in the Western world.  The operation of TRIZ Journal was handed to Real Innovation Network in 2006 but stopped posting new aticles in 2010.  BMGI re-launched it in 2015 but stopped new posting in 2016.  Even during these difficult years, the archives of all the articles were kept accessible.
In January 2018, Darrell Mann, Systematic Innovation, re-launched the TRIZ Journal as the public Web site. A wide variety of articles are posted regularly and frequently, mostly by the Editor himself.

It works together with governmental agencies, trade associations and businesses to enforce Swiss indications of source within Switzerland and internationally. The IPI also supervises the collective rights management organisations for copyright and provides information on intellectual property rights to individuals and companies in a variety of ways.  Thus the IPI is the federal government's central point of contact for all questions concerning patents, trade marks, geographical designations of origin, design protection and copyright. Its mandate is set out in the  Statute of the IPI (in German).  It is responsible for drafting legislation and advising the Federal Council and other federal authorities on matters concerning intellectual property. The IPI also represents the interests of Switzerland at international level. Its legal mandate is regulated in more detail on an ongoing basis by the political instances and in particular the head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police.  The IPI is its own legal entity and is independent from the federal government budget.

Our mission:  We are the Swiss Confederation's centre of competence for patent, design and trade mark protection, indications of source and copyright. We help innovators and creators to create value out of their ideas, thus promoting innovation, competitiveness, cultural diversity and social progress.

About:  Our Mission:  General Introduction:  Understanding nature's mute but elegant language of living cells is the quest of modern molecular biology. From an alphabet of only four letters representing the chemical subunits of DNA emerges a syntax of life processes whose most complex expression is man. The unraveling and use of this "alphabet" to form new "words and phrases" is a central focus of the field of molecular biology. The staggering volume of molecular data and its cryptic and subtle patterns have led to an absolute requirement for computerized databases and analysis tools. The challenge is in finding new approaches to deal with the volume and complexity of data and in providing researchers with better access to analysis and computing tools to advance understanding of our genetic legacy and its role in health and disease.
Creating NCBI:  The late Senator Claude Pepper recognized the importance of computerized information processing methods for the conduct of biomedical research and sponsored legislation that established the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) on November 4, 1988, as a division of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NLM was chosen for its experience in creating and maintaining biomedical databases, and because as part of NIH, it could establish an intramural research program in computational molecular biology. The collective research components of NIH make up the largest biomedical research facility in the world.

What is Open Education? : What are Open Educational Resources? : In the BCcampus Open Education Self-Publishing Guide, we've shared our definition of open educational resources (OER): "teaching, learning, and research resources that, through permissions granted by their creator, allow others to use, distribute, keep, or make changes to them."     What are open textbooks? :  A subset of OER, open textbooks, including those found in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection, can help improve the learning experience for students while mitigating the financial barriers keeping them from achieving their academic goals.    What are open educational resources?: Modifying materials to better suit student needs, and engaging in learning design that addresses individuals is essential for creating impactful learning experiences for students.    What are Creative Commons and open licensing? : Copyright, attribution, and shareability – how are they related, and why is this important for open education?     What are Canada's open education initiatives? : Each province and territory in Canada is responsible for managing its own education requirements – there isn't a federal body to connect the educational initiatives across the nation, but the members of Canada OER have stepped up to help create a cohesive effort, specifically for open education, across the country.

About: What we do:  Our Point of View:  We believe everyone has the capacity to be creative.
Putting design to work:  We build on methods from across the field of design to create learning experiences that help people unlock their creative potential and apply it to the world.  Design can be applied to all kinds of problems. But, just like humans, problems are often messy and complex—and need to be tackled with some serious creative thinking. That’s where our approach comes in. Adding the d.school's tools and methods to a person's skill set often results in a striking transformation. Newfound creative confidence changes how people think about themselves and their ability to have impact in the world.

Note (TN, Sept. 27, 2019): Simon Dewulf, former owner of CREAX in Belgium, moved to Australia and started AULIVE Pty Ltd in 2012.   The AULIVE site has 4 branch sites.

(A) Innovation Logic (https://www.innovationlogic.com.au/):  Top page:  AULIVE brings Innovation Logic, a collection of hands-on tools and a systematic method designed to demystify and systematize the space of creativity, innovation and value creation. With 20 years research and development in the domain of innovation, we have distilled the AULIVE method as 6 easy steps to innovate products or processes, with the inspiration tools.  --- The steps are:  Aim: value and function, Use: resources in time and space, Link: your product or process DNA, Import: inspiraton from outside, Vary: change for better function, Elect: ideas to concepts. 

(B) Patent Inspiration (http://www.patentinspiration.com/): This site provides with a useful tool for patent searches.  In the free space, the operation of the software is fully demonstrated with a case in two videos.  Surveying patents is possible at the text level freely but needs registration for visualizing them in various graphs.

(C) More Inspiration (http://www.moreinspiration.com/):  This site is a large collection (currently 4961) of example of Innovations, each shown with a photo/vidoe and explanation.   They have tags of industries and products.  It is remarkable that the essence of innovation of each case is explained with the installed property and the resultant function.  Such properties and functions are well categorized and symbolized (in addition to the text), thus many cases of the same property (or of the same function) are readily shown by clicking the symbol of property (or function).  This site is very useful for obtaining inspiration from various cases.

(D) Production Inspiration (http://www.productioninspiration.com/):  You can select a function you want to perform and select a state you want to operate on, then a number of ways (i.e., production methods) to achieve the function are shown with illustrations.  E.g., 'Corrodes' 'Solid' gives you 19 production ways.

[Continued]  Each map categorizes the most important and actionable ideas about a topic into conveniently digestible chunks. It uses keywords and questions in a sentence-like structure that's easy to follow.   Each map provides you with a comprehensive bird's eye view of the topic. You subsequently gain deeper insights as you're better able to recognize how various ideas are connected to form the whole.    Each IQ Matrix represents a cluster of thoughts about a single topic. It's like a neuron network of interconnected thoughts where you meticulously explore the brain of someone who has successfully mastered the topic. You then take those "thought clusters" and implant them into your own brain as you work through the map. Kind of like a software upgrade for your brain.   The MasterMind Matrix (now Version 4.0) is a visual chart that provides you with deep insights into why you do what you do, and how to do things better to improve your life and achieve your goals. It's a guidance system and reference guide we can use to help us make more effective decisions to live life in more optimal ways.   

[Note (TN, Mar. 21, 2022):  This is a fantastic collection of knowledge/wisdom represented visually in informative Mind Maps.  Currently 481 Mind Maps are shown, with steady increase (about 25-30 per year) in number.  All the visual sheets are dedicated for 'Personal development for better life' in a vary wide sense.  Their topic areas are categorized into:  The laws of life, The laws of success, The laws of productivity, Universal principles, The brain and nervous system, and Additional terms and concepts.  Such area are further classified; for example, The laws of success cover each law of Accident, Action, Applied effort, Compensation, Control, Direction, Flexibility, Forced efficiency, Giving, Likability, Opposites, Overcompensation, Persistence, Preparation, Probability, Responsibility, Service, Social validation, Synergy, and Murphy's law. Some Mind Maps of our interest include: Creative thinking, Critical thinking, Creative genius mindset, Law of cause and effect, Motivation strategy, Psychological rules, Steve Jobs, Risk taking, Solving life's problems, Developing charisma, Handling a crisis, Handling conflict, Problem solving model, Total life reinvention, Changing a paradigm, Working through change, Thrive amid chaos, and many others. Several videos by Adam Sicinski are very impressive.   -- I evaluate this site as ○ in place of □。

     Most active TRIZ Consultants in Japan, promoting QFD-TRIZ-Taguchi Method.

IDEA is a consulting firm specialized in TRIZ, starting in 2003 by spinning off from ITEQ, and has been actively conducting trainings and consulting in industries and open seminars.  IDEA has particular strength in applying QFD-TRIZ-TM in an integrated manner to new product development, and in consulting with big and SME companies in such a strategy.

The Web site explains to use the following four IDEA-style scientific development methods in an integrated way: Seeds-driven Quality Deployment (SDCD, for developing new business fields), IDEA-QFD (for developing new products in existing business fields), IDEA-TRIZ (for innovative problem solving with break-through solutions), and IDEA-TM (for implementing new solutions optimally).  Various documents of these TRIZ-related methods are downloadable free of charge (with registration).  IDEA also sells TechOptimizer and Goldfire Innovator of Invention Machine (later under IHS) as a dealer and promotes the use of software tools together with their methods. 

At Japan TRIZ Symposia, several industrial customer companies reported their successful results of promoting/applying IDEA ways in their new product development, confirming the effectiveness of IDEA’s methods and consulting.

     TRIZ consultants, promoting QFD-TRIZ-Taguchi Method and AI.

Since 2001 Kazuya Yamaguchi led the innovation of development process and quality management in Kyushu Matsushita Electric Co. (renamed into Panasonic Communications Co. (PCC) in 2003) by using scientific methods including quality engineering, TRIZ, and QFD.  He retired from PCC in 2007 and started a consulting firm, MOST LLC, together with his several colleagues who worked together for the PCC process innovation.

MOST's philosophy is “To propose and provide methods for drastic innovation applicable in the era of AI (Artificial Intelligence, e.g., IoT and Factory big data)”.  More specifically it proposes "to use scientific technology tools in the world (e.g., QFD, TRIZ, Quality engineering (or TM), MATLAB, and some other universal-use tools) effectively, to improve the current styles of research, development, design, and manufacturing into new business promotion styles with high efficiency, and to put your business on a sustainable and growing curve by obtaining maximal results in achievements."

Their methods are written closely by the MOST members in their books (or white papers), which are available in their HP with free downloading (without registration).  They include:
(1) "Improve your quality, then your costs get reduced (recommendations to Taguchi Method)" by Kazuya Yamaguchi (95 pages).
(2) "How to eliminate the needs of remaking software in the market due to bugs (recommendations to Taguchi Method)" by Kazuya Yamaguchi (27 pages).
(3) "We can design without remaking! (Parameter design in Taguchi Method)" by Ikuro Hamada (59 pages).
(4) "Method to realize No. 1/only-one products easily (TRIZ)" by Kiyoaki Matsui (28 pages). 
(5) "Method to develop epoch-making products easily (QFD-TRIZ-TM and Technology and IP strategies)" by Kazuya Yamaguchi (42 pages).
(6) "Method to achieve visual inspection drastically efficiently (MATLAB and TM)" by Ken-ichi Kawano (30 pages).
(7) "Method to achieve acoustic inspection drastically efficiently (MATLAB and TM)" by Ken-ichi Kawano (30 pages).
(8) "Business strategy for executives to raise their performance surely (Raising performance/results come from raising members)" by Kazuya Yamaguchi (31 pages).
All these textbooks are impressive with their strong encouraging messages.

     Active portal site with the original 'Monodukuri Matrix' from users needs (60) to various methods (108).

This is a nice portal site which has produced and implemented a mechanism for connecting (a) Issues in monodukuri (or manufacturing in general) (and the industries having them) with (b) Methods useful for solving the issues (and the professionals in such methods).  The basis of this mechanism is the 'Monodukuri Engineering Matrix' which Osamu Kumasaka built during his R&D work for Pioneer Corp.  The Matrix has rows of 60 Issues for monodukuri (i.e., Planning 7, Development & design 15, Manufacturing 22, and Quality in market 6) and columns of 118 Methods for solutions (including Strategy techniques 9, TRIZ 8, USIT 1, Quality engineering 8, etc.).  In the Matrix cells, applicability and usefulness of the method for the issue is shown with the 4-grade evaluation (i.e., 3, 2, 1, and 0).

Kumasaka started this Monodukuri.com site in 2012 after his retirement.   First he obtained supports and registrations by many professionals (currently 138), and obtained their contributions of introductory articles on individual methods and their usage (currently 1600 articles, 2-3 pages each), training texts (currently 490 documents), and application case studies (currently 950 cases), for publicly posting in the site.  Users (in industries) may choose an issue most relevant to his/her problem from the list of 60 Issues, then is led by the Matrix to possibly applicable/useful methods, and can further study the methods closely by reading their introductions and case studies.  If a user asks a question (or raise his/her own issue) openly at the site, any professionals may reply to it openly at the site as well. 

All these basic use of the site is free of charge for the users (some of them need registration without charge), while there are additional services of seminars and individual consultation with charge.  The site is now operated with annual support money and payback for consulting arrangement from the registered professionals.  Professionals seem to find merits in the site for paying such money.  Recently, the site started a service by professionals to support SMEs for their applications to governmental grants.

Because of the accumulation of useful information and appropriate operation mechanism, this portal site is now growing steadily year after year.  This is certainly a significant business model started by Osamu Kumasaka.
