Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods inadequately address employee engagement and energy levels, failing to accurately identify potential flight risks within organizations, leading to unexpected employee departures and productivity issues.

Innovation Solution

A business management system utilizing AI and machine learning regression models to estimate employee engagement scores and flight event risk status, incorporating a tone analyzer and feedback tool to analyze messages and provide real-time or near-real-time assessments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional project management methods are used to measure employee engagement, then project delivery is maintained, but accurate measurement of employee engagement and energy levels is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemployee engagement measurement accuracyVSAvoidproject delivery capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments employee engagement measurement from project management by introducing separate measurement dimensions (energy levels, engagement scores) that are independently tracked alongside project deliverables, allowing both objectives to be pursued simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary measurement system that captures employee feedback and tone analysis as mediating indicators between actual engagement states and observable project outcomes, enabling more precise measurement without directly interfering with project delivery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If no systematic method is used to identify flight risks, then organizational operations continue smoothly, but unexpected employee departures cause significant damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemployee retention reliabilityVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification of flight risks by continuously monitoring engagement scores and energy levels before employees actually decide to leave, enabling proactive retention interventions rather than reactive responses to departures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback loops where employee responses to engagement surveys and tone analysis results feed back into updated risk assessments, creating a self-adjusting monitoring system that improves over time without requiring manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If real-time employee engagement monitoring is implemented, then flight risks are identified early, but data collection and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflight risk estimation accuracyVSAvoiddata processing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most critical features from employee data (tone indicators, engagement survey responses, key communication patterns) rather than processing all available data, reducing computational burden while maintaining measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw employee data into standardized engagement scores and risk metrics through parameter transformations, enabling efficient comparison and aggregation across different data sources without requiring proportional increases in processing capacity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Business management systems include business system platforms such as project management trackers, employee engagement software and so on. The system obtains inputs about an employee from at least one business system platform and estimates flight event risk status of the employee. Feedback is obtained from to make adjustments or corrections to the flight event risk status. The estimation involves the use of machine learning regression model that includes historical data and will also constantly update itself based on the feedback and the updated flight event risk status. The system also includes a tone analyzer to analyze the tone of messages posted by groups of employees in an organization. The groups of employees may belong to a business vertical, members of a club, project team, or the entire organization.
