We have already entered or are entering the Sixth wave of Innovation by the year 2020. The current ongoing fifth wave of innovation (Schumpeter/Kondrateiff Waves/Cycles – as they are called historically) started in 1990. It was driven by digital networks, software and new media, and is rapidly giving birth to the new wave – The Sixth Wave of Innovation. This new wave of innovation, we propose will be driven by (a) Networked, Autonomous, Nano and Hypersonic – Things, (b) Algorithmic Intelligence and Quantum Computing and (c) Synthesized – Biology, Energy and Reality.
How to “Invent” in and for the Sixth Wave of Innovation – One day Workshop/Seminar
The key skill needed in this rapidly changing and transformative new wave is our ability to “invent strong, fast and continuously”. Inventing is the process of providing “technical solutions” to “problems”. Inventions are those technical solutions that are should pass the filters of newness/novelty, non-obviousness and having industrial application. If the solutions pass through these filters they are qualified for getting Patent protection as per the modern laws. Inventing methods however has not evolved from the serendipitous trial and error that has been the way humanity evolved. Although there are methodologies from psychology, such as lateral thinking and six thing hats and historical and empirical analysis of inventions/patents such as TRIZ and its many variants such as USIT, ASIT etc, their proliferation, usage and importance has not been enough to upgrade our method of inventing from the trial-and error used by ancient man. The sixth wave of innovation is emerging in a rapid eclectic mix of trends and transformations – be it emergence of machine learning/deep learning, Industry 4.0, Digitalization, hypersonic vehicles, Nano-technology or Synthetic Biology. In this sixth wave, “inventing” will require much more nuanced, mature and structured approach to win instead of the ancient way of serendipity and trial and error.
A one day workshop cum seminar was organized by Crafitti in collaboration with IEEE - Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru on 7th July 2018. It exposed the participants to new ways and means of Inventing for the rapidly changing world and responding to the Sixth Wave of Innovation that has started embracing the world.
