Selection of Methods
Which method is the right one?

The innovation methodology combines structured methods and procedures to systematically develop new solutions for complex engineering challenges. Rather than relying on spontaneous ideas, it applies intuitive, systematic, and contradiction-oriented approaches that can be used individually or together depending on the problem.
The innovation methodology comprises the combined application of methods and procedures with the aim of finding new solutions to a problem. This replaces the incidental finding of ideas by systematic, strategic generation.
The applied methods are classified into intuitive, systematic, and contradiction-oriented approaches and can be used individually or combined.
Select the most suitable innovation method for each engineering challenge through a structured decision-making process.
Facilitate productive workshops and collaborative sessions that keep teams aligned and focused on solution development.
Capture ideas, decision processes, and innovation outcomes in a structured and traceable manner.

How is the selected method used correctly?

What has to be considered while realizing the solutions?
Innovation and Creativity Methods enable engineering teams to solve problems systematically instead of relying on random inspiration. By combining structured creativity techniques, guided collaboration, and methodical implementation, organizations can develop practical, innovative, and well-documented solutions that integrate efficiently into product development.
Apply structured innovation methods to discover, evaluate, and implement effective solutions throughout the product development lifecycle.
