Solution Overview

Problem

Organizations face challenges in identifying and implementing effective changes to their workforce to align with industry trends, as existing methods are inefficient and often rely on manual processes that consume resources and time.

Innovation Solution

A cloud-based organization analysis platform that receives and processes organization data, industry trend data, and workforce psychology data to provide recommendations for workforce changes, using machine learning models to determine necessary capabilities and actions, such as hiring, re-training, or outsourcing, to align the workforce with industry trends.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual processes are used to identify and implement workforce changes, then organizations can make workforce adjustments, but the process consumes excessive resources and time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkforce transformation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for workforce analysis and implementation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual workforce analysis processes with an automated machine learning-based system. The capability model automatically processes organization data, industry trend data, and workforce psychology data to generate workforce recommendations, eliminating the need for manual analysis and significantly reducing both time and resource consumption while maintaining high accuracy in workforce transformation planning.

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

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data analysis is performed to align workforce with industry trends, then workforce recommendations become more accurate, but computing resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of workforce recommendationsVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data processing and feature extraction before the main analysis. Organization data, industry trend data, and workforce psychology data are pre-processed and structured in advance, allowing the capability model to work with optimized inputs that reduce computational complexity while maintaining analysis accuracy, thus lowering overall computing resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the comprehensive data analysis into multiple independent processing stages: data collection, data processing, capability modeling, and recommendation generation. Each stage handles specific data types and tasks independently, allowing for optimized resource allocation and parallel processing, which reduces total computing resource consumption while maintaining high recommendation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If detailed workforce psychology data is collected and analyzed, then worker-specific recommendations improve, but data processing complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of workforce recommendationsVSAvoiddata processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different processing methods to different types of data based on their specific characteristics. Organization data, industry trend data, and workforce psychology data each receive tailored processing approaches within the capability model, allowing for optimized analysis of each data type's unique properties while maintaining overall system efficiency and reducing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A device may receive organization data defining first capabilities of an organization and industry trend data that is relevant to the organization. The industry trend data may define second capabilities that are relevant to the organization. The device may provide, as input to a capability model, the organization data and the industry trend data. The capability model may have been trained to produce, as output, data specifying recommended changes for the organization. The device may determine, based on the output of the capability model and the industry trend data, a recommendation. The device may perform an action based on the recommendation.
