     Roles: (a1) Dedicated for information sending, (a2) Public Web site, (g3) Knowledge sharing      

About: Our organization: TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.

Our Mission: Spread ideas: TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.  In fact, everything we do — from our Conferences to our TED Talks to the projects sparked by The Audacious Project, from the global TEDx and TED Translators communities to the TED-Ed lesson series — is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas?

About:  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.

     Roles: (a2) Public Web sites, (a1) Dedicated information sending    

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.

The Editor's research themes have evolved from (a) introduction and proliferation of (classical and modernized) TRIZ, to (b) introduction and extension of USIT (Unified Structured Inventive Thinking), (c) proposal of Generalized Methodology for Creative Problem Solving (CrePS), and (d) Research on the Principal Contradiction ('Liberty vs. Love') of Human Culture.

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.

BC Open Textbooks: Open Textbooks Adapted and Created by BC Faculty

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: The knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies of case managers are major factors in assuring the provision of safe and superior quality healthcare services to clients and their support systems, including their families, significant others, friends, caregivers, and others. The more current case managers are, the more they are able to demonstrate effectiveness in their case management practice and achieve desired outcomes.
To realize its mission to advance the practice of case management, the Commission for Case Manager Certification (the Commission) developed a case management knowledge framework for case managers and other healthcare professionals directly or indirectly involved in case management practice and across the continuum of health and human services and care settings.  This case management knowledge framework is called the CMBOK. Unlike any other resource in the industry, the CMBOK is the only comprehensive body of knowledge that is peer-reviewed and available online for case managers and other healthcare professionals.

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: inspiration 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.

About:  The AcclaimIP story:  FreePatentsOnline founders James Ryley and Erik Reeves along with a new partner Matt Troyer conceived AcclaimIP in the summer of 2010.  Our goal from the beginning was to make patent research software easier to use, higher performance and more complete, with innovative features that help our clients do a better job in less time.  The FreePatentsOnline legacy is what keeps us focused on performance. Amazing features that take 30 minutes to run don't get used, so we built on our legacy of performance and created AcclaimIP.com.  AcclaimIP is now our flagship product that brings high-end patent search and analysis to our customers at an affordable price.
James has a PhD in molecular biology, is a registered patent agent and a creative at heart.  Erik runs the daily operations of the company including managing the development team and keeps everybody focused on our broad vision.  Matt leads the AcclaimIP sales and marketing effort by interacting with the customers, leading the sales team, and specifying new features from customer requests.
We launched the AcclaimIP in January 2012 with excellent reception. Since then we have consistently improved the software, doing a new build about every two weeks, improving everything from the user interface, performance, new features and new data collections.  In March of 2016, AcclaimIP was acquired by Anaqua, Inc.  The entire team moved over to Anaqua.  We've hired more developers to accelerate our development, more customer service people to better service our customers.  We also acquired 40 full text English translated patent collections, giving us the most complete set of patent data and original PDFs.  We also acquired Patent River who are experts in Public PAIR data, and we look forward to integrating the new data into AcclaimIP.

AcclaimIP Patent Search & Analytics:  Searching through over 100 million patents can be a daunting and time-consuming task. AcclaimIP is one of the fastest, most intuitive, and comprehensive tools for conducting patent searches, analyzing patents, and determining patentability.

About: Company: We don't just make Agile software —it's how we built our company.  Since November 2004, Targetprocess has enabled businesses to sustain a start-up culture while scaling their Agile teams. We built our company on steady, organic growth, generated almost entirely from customer referrals. We figured that if we needed or wanted to grow quickly, we'd invest in our technology. We didn't want to interrupt the process of building our entirely original, award-winning visual management tool.  Betting on our product worked. Targetprocess started as a five-person company (honestly, a group of guys who wanted to tinker with the idea of Agile on their free nights and weekends).  We've since grown to a team of over 120 international employees. You can find Targetprocess employees everywhere, from Belarus to Berlin to Buffalo.  Our ability to scale with a distributed team draws on the culture derived from Agile principles.  We make Agile project management software that you can use without a thick operations manual.

About:  About ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library):  ITIL® describes best practices for the effective and efficient provision of IT services. ITIL® (the "IT Infrastructure Library") was first developed at the end of the 1980's by the Central Computing and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA), a government agency in Great Britain.  The reason for commissioning the CCTA was a lack of quality in the IT services procured by the British Government, and a method had to be found to achieve better quality at lower cost. So the CCTA set out to develop recommendations for the effective and efficient provision of IT services. This resulted in a catalogue of best practices for IT organizations, which today is known as "ITIL", the most widely accepted approach to IT service management.

ITIL has grown into a huge framework, so at some point back in 2007 we concluded that an ITIL Wiki is the best way of making this content widely accessible. The ITIL Wiki [1] includes detailed descriptions of the ITIL processes and sub-processes, complete with their inputs and outputs, ITIL roles and metrics (ITIL KPIs), plus a set of free ITIL templates and checklists from our ITIL® Process Map.

A fresh approach to ITIL®: The ITIL Process Map is a 'translation' of ITIL® into legible, easy to read process maps in Microsoft Visio®, ARIS™ and other process management platforms. It explains how ITIL really works and does away with the need to sift through the books with thousands of pages.

The ITIL Process Map covers the complete ITIL V3 Service Lifecycle: Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation, and Continual Service Improvement.

      Roles:  (e4) Consultants    

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.

     Roles  (e4) Consultants

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.

      Roles:  (e7) Networking/Matching organizations

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.

IAM now produces a wide range of publications, as well as a weekly email and daily blog.
IAM is unique because it treats intellectual property as a business asset and tool, rather than simply as a legal right. With this unequalled appeal to the boardroom, IAM has established itself as the only IP publication that many senior corporate executives read regularly.
The insight and intelligence IAM provides is topical, timely and continually thought provoking for its subscription-based readership. Editorial quality and integrity are paramount. The quality of the editorial is guaranteed by an in-house team, based in London, Hong Kong and Washington DC, with long-established journalistic track records in the specialist IP and business press, including on titles such as the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times. A number of articles are also commissioned from leading figures in the IP business world.

Note (TN, Sept. 26, 2019):  Many keywords/terms of our interest in TRIZ and related methodologies are explained in Wikipedia.  Contents and quality of them seem to vary much depending on the items and on languages.  Wikipedia is often used as handy and reliable references by many people especially on the topics out of one's specialty.  Thus the quality of description of each item should be important for better introduction of the items for common people.

(From Wikipedia)  YouTube is an American video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California. Three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—created the service in February 2005. Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google's subsidiaries.
YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to playlists, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users. It offers a wide variety of user-generated and corporate media videos. Available content includes video clips, TV show clips, music videos, short and documentary films, audio recordings, movie trailers, live streams, and other content such as video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos. Most content on YouTube is uploaded by individuals, but media corporations including CBS, the BBC, Vevo, and Hulu offer some of their material via YouTube as part of the YouTube partnership program. Unregistered users can only watch videos on the site, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos and add comments to videos.

Note (TN, Sept. 26, 2019):  Many organizations in our field of TRIZ and related methodologies have uploaded their video introductions and documents in YouTube.  You may often be led from their sites to YouTube, while you may find many other relevant videos in YouTube by using keyword searches.

About:  Who We Are:  Goodreads is the world's largest site for readers and book recommendations. Our mission is to help people find and share books they love. Goodreads launched in January 2007
Top page:  Meet your next favorite book. -- Deciding what to read next? -- You're in the right place. Tell us what titles or genres you've enjoyed in the past, and we'll give you surprisingly insightful recommendations.
What are your friends reading? -- Chances are your friends are discussing their favorite (and least favorite) books on Goodreads.
A Message From Our Co-Founder:   When I was in second grade, I discovered the Hardy Boys series. Ever since, I've loved to read — both for fun and to improve my mind. And I'm always looking for the next great book.    One afternoon while I was scanning a friend's bookshelf for ideas, it struck me: when I want to know what books to read, I'd rather turn to a friend than any random person or bestseller list.
So I decided to build a website – a place where I could see my friends' bookshelves and learn about what they thought of all their books. Elizabeth, my co-founder (and now my wife) wrote the site copy and I wrote the code. We started in my living room, motivated by the belief that there was a better way to discover and discuss good books, and that we could build it.
Goodreads is that site. It is a place where you can see what your friends are reading and vice versa. You can create "bookshelves" to organize what you've read (or want to read). You can comment on each other's reviews. You can find your next favorite book. And on this journey with your friends you can explore new territory, gather information, and expand your mind.     Knowledge is power, and power is best shared among readers.    Otis Chandler Co-Founder

From Wikipedia: Steve Blank (born 1953) is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur based in Pescadero, California.
Blank is recognized for developing the customer development method that launched the lean startup movement, a methodology which recognized that startups are not smaller versions of large companies, but require their own set of processes and tools to be successful.  His Lean Launchpad class (taught as the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps) has become the standard for commercialization for all federal research.
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.

He posts many interesting working papers on 'How to Think out' according to his own thoughts and in his own terms.  Recently he developed and published a software tool of 'Fuda-Yose method', which allows to handle many labels (on which any keywords, short sentences, or figures are written) to move them around in various arrangements on the Excel window for stimulating users to think out.  The Fuda-Yose Tool is also introduced in "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" together with a number of application examples.
