Solution Overview

Problem

Current analytics systems struggle to provide real-time ROI tracking and insights across multiple business units and geographies, leading to delayed financial benefit realization and potential business disruptions, especially when technology implementations span different times and locations.

Innovation Solution

A value realization analytics system utilizing a data retriever, data refiner, and project value predictor to dynamically forecast, classify, and recommend adjustments for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), enabling real-time monitoring and optimization of project costs and benefits across various business units and geographies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual tracking of ROI and project progress is used, then flexibility in handling diverse business units and geographies is maintained, but operational delays occur and business disruption is caused

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in handling diverse business unitsVSAvoidoperational delays
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical tracking processes with an automated analytics system that uses data models to calculate ROI and track project progress. The system automatically processes data from multiple business units and geographies without human intervention, eliminating operational delays while maintaining the flexibility to handle diverse organizational structures through configurable data models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If conventional data models are customized for each business unit or project type, then measurement precision for specific insights is improved, but device complexity and customization costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsights into project value leakageVSAvoidmodel customization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal data model framework that can be applied across multiple business units and project types without requiring custom development for each. The system uses a single standardized model structure that automatically adapts to different organizational contexts through configurable parameters, eliminating the need for complex customizations while maintaining precise insights for each business unit.

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

3Productivity

If conventional data models provide insights only after metrics are violated, then risk mitigation is reduced, but productivity of insight generation is improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsight generation speedVSAvoidrisk business continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements predictive analytics that forecast future project outcomes and identify potential value leakage before actual metric violations occur. The system continuously monitors project progress against predicted trajectories and alerts stakeholders to potential issues in advance, enabling preventive action rather than reactive response. This maintains high productivity through continuous automated analysis while improving reliability by detecting risks before they materialize.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system for value prediction for dynamic performance optimization includes a project value predictor that receives a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and an initiative relating to an active project having a closure date. The KPI is associated with a KPI period including multiple intervals. The project value predictor operates to identify a relevant cluster of KPIs for the KPI based on historical data, forecast a future value of the KPI based on attributes/features of the KPI relative to the closure date, predict a possibility of failure of the KPI using a trained data model to pre-classify the KPI, categorize the KPI based on the future value or the pre-classification, where the KPI is categorized as failure based on the future value being less than a target KPI value after the KPI period and added to list for retraining the model based on the categorization. The system also leads to the identification and subsequent validation of Initiatives that impact the KPIs with quantification of the level of impact.
