Abstract

Consumption of innovative products is continuously growing and this has a major impact on industry: the need to rebuild design potential is strongly felt both in terms of human skills and methodological expertise. The question behind the challenges regarding this situation can be summed up as follows: are the tools and methods developed during an era in search of quality optimization still appropriate in the context of the needs of innovation era?

Abstract

Nowadays, the need to rebuild design practices in enterprises is strongly felt both in terms of human skills and methodological expertise. An emerging statement is that tools and methods developed during the quality and optimisation era have shown their limits and become inappropriate in the context of the needs of the innovation era. The aim of this paper is first to state that a partial answer to face the innovation era's difficulties has been brought about by the theory of inventive problem solving.

It is universally acknowledged that actual industrial situation regarding problem solving stages is of a critical matter for R&D robustness. A technical situation that causes inefficiency is stated as an “unsolvable problem” and treated as “best possible compromises”. In fact they are the result of a complex situation where mental inertia leads the designer’s attitude.
