SIXTH WoI

The SIXTH WAVE OF INNOVATION (2020-2045)

By 2020 we would have entered the Sixth Wave of Innovation (6WoI). Some experts claim the sixth wave has already started around 2015. The current ongoing fifth wave of innovation (Schumpeter/ Kondrateiff Waves/Cycles – as these 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.

If Algorithms were the building blocks of 5th Wave of Innovation - we propose Algorithmic Intelligence (Year 2012- 2035) will be the building block of 6WoI. To this Quantum Computing (Year 2030 - 2045) will start finding transformation level applications to evolve world economy towards a self-organizing, adaptive infrastructure and an unprecedented multi-dimensional inter-human and Human-bot amalgamation.
To operate in the New Wave and to ride the new wave of Innovation - we need new thinking and calibrated actions at multiple levels and with with multiple perspectives. Our "Preparing, Responding to and Operating in 6WoI" interventions are designed to make future visible for companies, countries and cooperatives to operate in the 6WoI.

We welcome you all !

Our Services for "Sixth Wave of Innovation - 6WoI" - Strategizing through Gaming , Inventing, Resonating, Designing and Crafting Value

1. Calibrating the Change and Creating Response Strategy for 6WoI for you, your business Unit and/or your Company - Seminar Gaming for 6WoI

2. Inventing with You and Invent for You in and for 6WoI

3. Open Innovation for 6WoI

4. Value Crafting for 6WoI

SEMINAR GAMING for 6WoI

Gaming can provide a mechanism to surface unknown-unknowns through interactions between participants in an open environment. In the seminar game we play 2 rounds - calibrating the change and responding to the change. In few hours of the game - a new understanding is surfaced and typically insights are visible for potential paths ahead in the future

OPEN INNOVATION in 6WoI

Working across the world, beyond the boundaries of nations, companies and organizations has seen its evolution in the fifth wave as Open Innovation. In the 6WoI Open Innovation will require a comprehensive shift to what we call Resonance and Design - its the new framework for creating successful change collaboratively.

INVENTING in & for 6WoI

Invention Services "INVENTING" will be the most important skill required in the 6WoI. We need new ways of Inventing in the new wave. As machines get more algorithmic intelligence, human workers need to enhance their capability to invent continuously. Trial and Error of the past waves need to be replaced by ALVIS THINKING

VALUE CRAFTING for 6WoI

Value visibility in the complex of multi-dimensional networks of 6WoI will be an essential requirement. What value is being added or being created, who is adding how much and in which dimension are key questions to explore. Further, Multi-Level Value Resolution will increase "Value Entropy" as six waves of innovation collide and emerge in the future. The Value Entropy need fine grained value resolution for maximizing overall Value.
