Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional statistical methods are used for estimating enterprise innovation, then the measurement process is simple, but the accuracy and reliability of innovation measurement is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinnovation measurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the innovation measurement process into multiple dimensions including idea generation, development, implementation, and impact. Each dimension is measured using specific KPIs, allowing for comprehensive and accurate measurement without requiring a single complex measurement system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic coefficients that adjust the weight of different KPIs based on organizational context, industry sector, and innovation type. This allows the measurement system to adapt to different scenarios while maintaining accuracy, resolving the contradiction between precision and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If siloed teams are used for innovation activities, then each team can focus on narrow innovation goals, but innovation coordination overhead increases and redundant efforts occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinnovation execution efficiencyVSAvoidinnovation coordination time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal innovation measurement framework that can be applied across all teams and departments. This common framework enables different teams to work independently on their specific innovation goals while being measured against the same standardized metrics, reducing coordination overhead and enabling efficient resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

AI summary

Due to lack of a standardized measurement system, it has become hard for organizations to identify the true reflection of the impact of the innovation. In conventional methods mainly utilize statistical methods for estimating enterprise innovation based on likelihood and are not effective. The present disclosure initially identifies a plurality of potential Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from multidimensional data. Further, a plurality of relevant KPIs is selected for computing a raw innovation factor and a scaled innovation score is computed for each of the plurality of enterprise accounts by applying a set of pre-defined normalization rules. Further, a plurality of similar enterprise accounts is identified, and a plurality of recommendations are generated. Furthermore, a dynamic coefficient associated with each of the plurality of relevant KPIs are updated. Finally, an innovation score percentile is computed for each of the plurality of enterprise accounts based on an updated dynamic coefficient.
