Solution Overview

Problem

Organizations face challenges in managing complex transformation programs due to scattered knowledge and expertise, leading to inefficiencies in decision-making and operational changes, as existing systems lack holistic perspectives and tailored approaches.

Innovation Solution

A management consultant digital assistant system that uses an interactive chatbot and AI engine to collect and validate data, generate tailored change management plans, and monitor key performance indicators, providing real-time support and unbiased decision-making throughout the transformation lifecycle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional search and retrieval systems are used to access knowledge banks, then information can be retrieved, but the systems cannot efficiently process complex variables and generate comprehensive change management plans

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of accessing knowledge banksVSAvoidcomplexity of processing variables and data
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An AI engine is introduced as an intermediary between the knowledge bank and users. The AI engine collects data from multiple sources including knowledge banks, transforms complex variables into actionable insights, and generates comprehensive change management plans. This intermediary handles the complexity of data processing while providing simplified, tailored recommendations to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If manual knowledge collection and analysis is performed, then comprehensive data can be gathered, but the process is time-consuming and prone to human bias

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobjectivity of decision-makingVSAvoidtime for data collection and analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automated data collection, validation, and analysis without requiring manual intervention. The AI engine autonomously gathers data from knowledge banks and other sources, validates it against predefined criteria, and generates change management plans. This self-service approach eliminates human bias and significantly reduces the time required for data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the AI engine continuously learns from implemented changes and their outcomes. This feedback loop allows the system to refine its analysis, improve the accuracy of generated plans, and reduce processing time over successive iterations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If generic change management approaches are used, then standard procedures can be applied, but the plans are not tailored to specific organizational needs and roles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetailoring of change management plansVSAvoidcomplexity of customization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI engine analyzes user profiles, organizational contexts, and specific change scenarios to provide localized, tailored recommendations. Each user receives customized change management plans based on their role, the organization's specific needs, and the particular change scenario, rather than generic one-size-fits-all approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts parameters such as change management strategies, resource allocation, and implementation timelines based on organizational characteristics and user roles. The AI engine modifies these parameters automatically to optimize the change management plan for each specific context without requiring manual customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Measurement precision

If comprehensive data validation is performed, then data quality is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of collected dataVSAvoidspeed of data processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data validation by establishing predefined criteria and validation rules before data collection begins. Data is validated against these criteria in real-time as it is collected, ensuring high data quality without requiring extensive post-collection processing. This preliminary action maintains both data precision and processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method that includes obtaining, from a user through an interactive chatbot, data for one or more change documents, wherein the data is parsed and validated by a data validator of the chatbot and the one or more change documents are dynamically updated as data is received. The method further includes determining, based on data for one or more change documents, one or more derived quantities and generating, with an artificial intelligence (AI) engine, a change management plan based on the derived quantities, wherein the change management plan comprises a schedule. The method further includes transmitting one or more learning resources to the user based on the change management plan, tracking an implementation of the change management plan, and generating an alarm when the implementation of the change management plan does not align with the schedule.
