How to foster
creative
ideation process of
Research
Methodology
innovative products & services?
Based on Action-Research approach [Lewin 1951] within companies
Transform reality and elicit new knowledge concerning these
transformations taking into account:
Human & social phenomena, non determinist, singularities…
=> complexity of these sociotechnical processes of innovation
A multidisciplinary approach:
– Creativity tools & methods, Engineering approaches…
– « Systemic » & « Complexity » [de Rosnay 1975], [Le Moigne 1977],
[Checkland 1981], [Morin 1990]…
– Sociology of innovation
• [Bucciarelli 1988], [Callon et Latour 1985], [Rogers 1986], [Alter 1990]…
– Management of innovation
• [Moisdon, Hatchuel, Weil], [Leavitt] [Cooper]…
Some examples of industrial fieldworks
A double output:
– Innovation as a result: the new product or service on the market
– Innovation as a process: creativity, maturation of ideas,
innovative project management…
=>
New knowledge about the understanding of the management
of the creative process within companies

Brainstorming (A. Osborn)
• Quantity => Quality
• First time: generation of ideas
– no judgment of the ideas of myself and of the others
– no hierarchy (only in theory!)
• Second time: evaluation and selection
• The results depend on the facilitator & the group

ASIT (R. Horowitz)
• ASIT (Advanced Systematic Inventive Thinking) adapted from
TRIZ
• Problem solving method
• ASIT: 2 conditions and 5 tools based on the used of sentences
that can be used during a brainstorming session
The C-K Theory (Hatchuel and Weil)
Training (last)
What is the result of: « 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 »?
The possible methods:
- n(n+1)/2 with n=9
- Mental calcul or calculator
- Add the extremum (1+9, 2+8…)
- Know the result
- Read the result at the bottom of the page!
Result is not creative, but the methods to obtain it
could be more or less complex.
The aim of a good creative method is to do the
opposite!
The result is 45

General recommendations
Do not believe in the “myth of the nugget’s idea” (bad interpretation of
success stories) during creative sessions!
It is not possible to evaluate the robustness and the value of the
proposed ideas during creative sessions
The main objective of the creative sessions is to foster the variety of the
proposed ideas and identified existing and lacking knowledge
The maturation of ideas must be done by the review of the “cloud of
ideas” in a “classified three” in order to elicit a roadmap of exploration of
the proposed concepts
The creative sessions are only the beginning of the long adventure of
innovation!

What we learned from this (scientific and
robust) experimentation?
•
•
•
•
•
A worldwide competition…
– Against the time, the competitors…
– Work in urgency and stress, with unplanned events…
… that imply to develop innovative (or routine) products…
– Fuzzy creativity vs mental block
– Complex product vs Simple solution
…. according to the market, the usage, the real need…
– A good understanding of the customers needs and theirs requirements
… and taking into account of the competitors and stakeholders…
– Market advantage and positions
… in a more and more sustainable development perspective
– Eco-design (green and friendly materials, end of life, re-use…)
– Ethical and Societal considerations
– and traçability !!
What we learned really?
