Knowledge intensive enterprises today cover a wide range of sectors spanning from the
traditional to modern enterprises. Entrepreneurs in knowledge intensive sectors stand on a different pedestal when it comes to conceiving and executing their enterprise plans. They have to combine traditional entrepreneurial skills with the ability to valorize their intellectual capital by nourishing and protecting their innovations and inventions. This is a specially designed programme targeted at such entrepreneurs.
Participants are given an overview of topics in Managing Intellectual Property and the sessions have been designed to give a practical view of how to manage IP assets to entrepreneurs including hands on half a day class work session. The resource persons drawn into the programme are academics and successful entrepreneurs who have added value to their innovations through novel systems of IP enhancement. The outcome of the workshop will be to create awareness and business sense about IP management in new enterprises.

Workshop on “Trigger”ing Ideas with TRIZ at WeSchool, Mumbai
In Events, Workshops on September 15, 2009 at 8:50 amIdeation presents two key challenges:
1. How to circumvent brain barriers to generate new thoughts?
2. How to reach the best ideas faster?
To overcome these challenges the brain needs some triggers. The workshop introduced Final Year Business Design students at WeSchool, Mumbai to some of the most powerful ideation triggers stitched together by Crafitti as part of its Idea Crafting framework (used by Crafitti to facilitate innovative thinking in live business contexts).
Invention and Patent Services
In Services on July 8, 2009 at 11:32 amTransforming Concepts into Inventions
In Services on July 8, 2009 at 9:13 amSome common perceptions:
- The journey to a patent starts from an invention
- Getting strong patent protection for an invention is about drafting iron-tight claims (with complex legal language)
However, patent claims are typically only as strong as the underlying invention itself! Strong inventions invariably lead to strong patents.
Is there a process to create strong inventions?
All inventions begin from seed ideas or novel concepts. Only truly novel, non-obvious ideas that bridge the gap between fantasy and reality get transformed into inventions. A single idea can lead to multiple inventions. Just as easily, multiple ideas can combine into one invention.
The journey to a strong patent actually starts from the seed idea or concept. Exploring the depth and breadth of an idea up-front during the “inventing” phase is much more productive as compared to doing the same at the “drafting” phase. The latter approach is a conscious effort to expand the solution space whereas the later approach serves a much narrower purpose of expanding the protection space of a narrowed down idea.
Crafitti brings a powerful framework to craft strong inventions from seed ideas or concepts:
- Study the Concept –its Context, Function and Prior Art
- Analyze the Concept/Idea using TRIZ
- Preliminary Ideation using TRIZ and inventive triggers from other disciplines
- Collective brainstorm with domain experts – into the nitty-gritty
- Choice of possible solution directions using AHP or other suitable decision crafting methods

Workshop on Innovation and Patents Using Russian Theory of Inventive Problem-solving
Workshop on Innovation and Patents Using Russian Theory of Inventive Problem-solving
RCSC together with Crafitti Consulting Private Limited, Bangalore, organized a unique Workshop on Inventions, Innovations and Patents using a relatively lesser known Russian Methodology named Teoriya Resheniya Izobreatatelskikh Zadatch or Theory of Inventive Problem- Solving (TRIZ) . Mr. Navneet Bhushan, Founder-Director of Crafitti Consulting, using the multi-media presentation, highlighted different theoretical and practical aspects of TRIZ. He has immense experience in the fields of defence research, information technology, intellectual property and management research. He is a leading expert, research and consultant on innovation management and has built a variety of frameworks, methodologies and techniques to craft innovation in business and technology contexts.
Crafitti Consulting is an innovative consulting firm in the business, science and technology space. The participants of the Workshop comprised patent experts, patent lawyers, IP heads, scientists, inventors, engineers, engineering managers, R&D heads, researchers, product managers, business managers, etc.
The delegates were exposed to understanding the level of an invention and a patent, finding out the key contradictions the invention is solving, looking at the claims hierarchy of the patent, function diagrams of a patent/invention, pruning or trimming as a means of inventing, system complexity estimation, etc. These techniques will help in finding technological alternatives to a patent, writing future-proof claims of a patent, understanding the evolution of an invention compared to prior art, finding white space in a field to leverage, etc.
Genrich Altshuller, a former Soviet navel patent officer after World War II started a systematic study of patents, his aim was to find out what makes a successful invention. His search led him to develop a unique methodology called TRIZ. In the process, he also developed a methodology to analyze and study patents. Crafitti Consulting has developed on the TRIZ way of doing patent analysis and reinforced it with other techniques to build a comprehensive framework for inventions and innovations. For the first time, this framework is offered in India.

Crafitti Services – Design Of Strategy (DOS)
In Innovation Craft, Services on November 19, 2008 at 7:26 amGreek origins of the word strategy point to “putting the troops in the right places”. As opposed to purely imaginative future-gazing, strategy requires one to start with both feet on the ground, climb up a tree to get to a higher vantage point, look around, generate new potential directions and then come back to the ground to work out ways and means to move along those directions.
We, at Crafitti Consulting, have had the opportunity to work as troops, generals and advisors in various innovation contexts in different organizations. We have, over the years, researched, experimented with and built several frameworks, methodologies and tools to facilitate innovation in these contexts.
Crafitti’s Design Of Strategy (DoS) framework stitches together powerful elements of innovative thinking specifically suited to strategy creation. The macro-elements of DoS are as follows:
1. Understanding the context
Elements of value engineering and systems thinking are used to capture the current needs, functions, structure and behavior of the entity or system in question (organization, team, product etc.). Past and current aspirations are understood, indicators of recent momentum or change are noted (where have we reached, how have we reached and what’s the current mood) and perceived opportunities and challenges are listed.
2. Expanding the context
As the first real step towards strategic thinking, the context defined and described in the previous step is expanded along multiple directions. Value Engineering (Value Net, Value Stream) and Systems Thinking (TRIZ, Dependency Structure Matrices (DSM), Mind Maps, Vedic Principles) elements are extensively used. Interesting new directions are marked.
3. Scenario building
This section flows from the previous section into the next. Scenarios are are identified and created from the expanded context. The scenarios start with “known” data and quickly meander into the “unknown” – multiple new futures are explored. While the exploration further expands the context, new directions also start to simultaneously emerge.
4. Creating new directions
Elements of inventive thinking (TRIZ principles, Use of resources, constraints and contradictions, laws of evolution, Vedic principles) are used to generate new thought directions and to build on the scenarios from the previous section. New needs, functions, structure and behavior are articulated.
5. Selecting key directions
Relevant criteria are identified from the expanded context – the criteria reflect expected changes in momentum identified during the course of the exercise. Strategic directions from the previous step are evaluated with respect to the criteria and relatively prioritized using multi-criteria decision making techniques like the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
6. Charting road maps
The most promising and relevant directions are articulated in time and space. Elements of Lean Thinking (Takt Time, Set-based Concurrent Engineering (SBCE)) are used to chart road maps to implement the devised strategy.
Technological Alternatives Study (TAS) on a Patent – A Unique Service from Crafitti Consulting
In Innovation Craft, Services on November 15, 2008 at 5:37 pmCrafitti Consulting brings to the world a unique service on finding Technological Alternatives to an invention/patent. This service can be used to grow the invention into multiple directions which even the original inventor might find extremely useful, as the process helps him/her invent faster.
Objectives and Process
The objective of a Technological Alternative Study (TAS) is to analyze a given Patent and explore various ways in which the invention described in the patent can be transformed to next levels in its evolution. Crafitti uses the methodology of TRIZ and own propriety techniques to help domain experts generate technological alternatives to a patent. There are four main phases of this study and it is always carried out with the domain experts from client organization.
Phase I: Patent study and analysis
Phase II: Preliminary ideation
Phase III: Collective brainstorm in a workshop setting
Phase IV: Solution evaluation and final report submission

Workshop 1: Day 1: 26th September 2008
LEAN INVENTIVE SYSTEMS THINKING (LIST) – A framework for transformation through innovation ignition
The globe is being re-engineered rapidly. Our businesses of today are not what they used to be even a decade back. Our existing methods of thinking – based on analytic and logical methods developed over last couple of centuries are suddenly looking in-effective in the new world of increasing globalization, increasing complexity and unprecedented pace. The problem solver is in a complex web of decision dependencies and fuzzy end of decision complexity. This workshop gives a comprehensive exposition to Crafitti’s Lean Inventive Systems Thinking (LIST) framework developed after successful experimentation in multiple domains. This is a potent framework for collective problem solving using three key thinking dimensions – these are Lean Thinking, Inventive or Design thinking and Systems Thinking. It has already proved its worth in designing new products and services, improving overall productivity, reducing cycle time, designing relevant solutions needed by customers and minimizing stress on the employees. Some of these cases will be shared in the workshop.
The workshop will provide exposure to some of the known LIST techniques such as
• Design Structure Matrix (DSM),
• Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP),
• Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ),
• Lean Product Development – Set-based concurrent engineering (SBCE),
• Value Stream Mapping (VSM)
Delegates will also be exposed to some of the new techniques developed by us, such as
• System Complexity Estimator (SCE),
• System Change Impact Model (SCIM),
• Project Cacophony,
• Decision Dependency Matrices (DDM’s)
Workshop 2: Day 2: 27th September 2008
Advanced Patent Analysis using TRIZ and Other Techniques
Patents are the most comprehensive source of information and knowledge. In the rapidly globalizing world of continuous change and cutthroat competition, every enterprise searches for competitive advantage. Patent information although realized by many as highly informative are not really tapped by enterprises at large, simply as the understanding of patents as a source of information and trigger for inventing the next are still in infancy. Although there are many open tools and databases to make patent data visualization, there doesn’t seem to be enough awareness of using patents for inventing next!
Altshuller, a Russian navy patent officer after Second World War, started a systematic study of patents – his aim was to find out what makes a successful invention. Can there be an algorithm for inventing? His search led him to develop a unique methodology called Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (acronym TRIZ in Russian). In the process he also developed a methodology to analyze and study patents.
Crafitti Consulting has developed on the TRIZ way of doing patent analysis and reinforced it with other techniques to build a comprehensive framework for Patent analysis. For the first time this framework is offered in India.
The delegates will be exposed to
• Understanding the level of an invention and a patent
• Finding out the key contradictions the invention is solving
• Looking at the claims hierarchy of the patent
• Function Diagrams of a patent/invention
• Pruning or Trimming as a means of inventing
• System Complexity Estimation
These techniques will help in
• Finding Technological Alternatives to a Patent
• Writing Future-proof claims of a Patent
• Understanding the evolution of an invention compared to prior art
• Finding white space in a field to leverage
