Responding to the Sixth Wave of Innovation (6WoI) - Seminar Game

Crafitti (www.crafitti.com) celebrated its 10 years of existence in serving the innovation needs of its clients in the month of June 2018. We invited key industry experts to participate in a unique Seminar Game  - Responding to the Sixth Wave of Innovation.

Gaming for policy making can provide a mechanism to surface unknown-unknowns through interactions between participants in an open environment.

In this seminar game we played two rounds.

In Round 1 – Calibrating the new wave – what are the positive and negative impacts of these technology and technology driven changes that are emerging. A Sixth wave calibration will result after round 1.

Responding to the calibrated new wave from first round will be the focus in Round 2. Responses will be invited on two dimensions – Urgency assessment and Proposed actions. The proposed actions will have two key axes – respond to change or create change. A Change-Response matrix results at the end of round two.

This was our first public seminar game on responding to 6WoI.

SEMINAR GAME FOR Exploring and Responding to GIS Technologies

The Game Play
Round 1. Team A and Team B in Round 1 calibrated the GIS technologies. This resulted in calibrated futures for both teams (an assessment for years 2020, 2025 and 2030).

Round 2: Team A’s Calibrated future became the “Certain Future” for Team B. Team B was asked to map the Urgency to respond in next two years (2018-2020) to the “certain future” that is now known. The calibrated future by Team A became the certain future – the certain scenario till year 2030. Based on this certainty Team B mapped the Urgency to respond in next two years on each technology dimension. After Urgency to respond, Team B also opted for specific response on each technology dimension out of the available five responses under Create Change or Adapt to Change. The round 2 resulted in Change-Response matrix for Team B.

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.

]]><![CDATA[Is Grafitti Innovation? - Crafitti's Mission ]]>Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:59:15 GMThttp://www.crafitti.com/crafitti-blog/crafittis-missionCrafitti's mission is to transform every mind, organization and partner working with us into the innovation powerhouse of the world. We believe that this mission needs a co-crafting approach.

The genesis of Crafitti:
When was the last time you looked at a freshly painted wall in a public domain? Have you observed a freshly painted wall - have you realized that it creates a definite feeling in you to do something on it. Have you felt a child like urge to take a piece of chalk or stone and draw something - anything on it? If you haven't ever had that urge - may be next time you see a freshly painted wall, just imagine that you are actually doing it? Doing what - changing it by scratching, scrawling, painting or marking it in any manner. If you actually do it - it is called Graffiti - as per Wikipedia.
As per Wikipedia, Graffiti (singular Graffito) is sometimes regarded as a form of art other times regarded as unsightly damage or unwanted vandalism.
Well, whats the point?
Attempting innovation or any attempt to change the status-quo is sometimes regarded as art but most of the times unwanted vandalism. We define innovation as Successful Creation of Change using Ideas!
Graffiti's similarity with Innovation doesn't end here. The way Graffiti happens -the natural process of multiple hands and minds working on the same canvas -the wall - which is visual, available to be seen, and available to be changed has some of the elements to craft Innovation in any large organization.

Further, what emerges at the end, none of the participants - who made graffito marks on the wall - had any idea. None knew what is the ultimate output that the wall will have. No one designs - yet each one of contributors made it - the ultimate graffiti. How close this is to any Innovation one can think of.

Innovation need to be a social phenomenon just as graffiti is. Just like graffiti, any Innovation has an element of someone creating that initial mark on the plain wall - just changing the status-quo - that person may become the voice of protest, may be considered an unwanted vandal or may be considered as an artful genius, depending upon the impact and which side of the coin the viewer is. Once that mark is visible to all, some others raise their pencils, paints, chalks, - there comes an element of safety that since the first guy did it, so we can do it as well. Suddenly the tipping point happens when lot of people join in to make the graffiti on the surface of the wall.

How close is Innovation to graffiti?

Crafitti Consulting has developed mechanisms to craft graffiti - these help in emergence of new art, new products, new way of doing things - in fact new way of understanding and exploring the world around us. We are now ready to share and co-craft Innovation and are sure the unwanted vandalism may be the initial reaction one may get - however - once the marks and scratches are filled - we will see the emergence of new art - that is unimagined when we start.

We promise Emergence through Immersion!
