Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for strategic planning and risk evaluation in enterprises lack effective tools to quantify and manage uncertainties and risks impacting key performance indicators, leading to potential financial and operational challenges.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented system and method for risk evaluation that assigns risks to objects with estimation-values, receives risk estimation-values, and recalculates the object estimation-values using these inputs, allowing for the consideration of uncertainties in strategic planning and other applications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional strategic planning methods are used, then planning processes are simple and easy to implement, but they cannot effectively quantify and manage uncertainties and risks impacting key performance indicators

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk evaluation capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments risk evaluation into distinct components: risk identification module, risk assessment module, and integration module. Each module handles specific aspects of risk analysis, allowing complex risk evaluation to be broken down into manageable segments that can be processed systematically while maintaining overall system reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary risk assessment layer between traditional strategic planning and key performance indicators. This intermediary layer quantifies uncertainties and translates them into actionable risk metrics, enabling effective risk management without directly complicating the core planning processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If risk evaluation is integrated into strategic planning, then decision-making quality improves, but the complexity of the planning process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk quantification accuracyVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary risk identification and assessment before final strategic decisions are made. By evaluating risks in advance and integrating them into the planning process early, the system enables more precise risk quantification without adding complexity to the final decision-making stage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where risk assessment results are continuously integrated into strategic planning outcomes. This feedback loop allows decision-makers to adjust plans based on quantified risk metrics, improving measurement precision while managing process complexity through iterative refinement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Methods, systems and computer products are provided for risk evaluation. A computer may assign a risk to an object which has an object estimation-value. The computer may also receive a risk estimation-value for the risk. The computer may re-calculate the object estimation-value based on the risk estimation-value.
