Abstract: Sooner or later every innovation manager will face the situation that he/she will be asked what the future of a system (product, production system etc.) will be or look like. Some try to improve the existing product again and again with big effort, trying to increase system output by single percentage instead of thinking on jumping to the next S-Curve and develop the next generation of the product. And why don’t they do so?

Some try to improve the existing product again and again with big effort, trying to increase system output by single percentage instead of thinking on jumping to the next S-Curve and develop the next generation of the product. And why don’t they do so? It is, because they don’t have an appropriate tool to define the innovative future of the product or system. The Directed Evolution provides a methodology to predict the next steps of a product. Unlike traditional technological forecasting, Directed Evolution (as guided by the Patterns of Evolution) actually “forces” a system into its highly-probable future incarnation, by inventing it before it would otherwise occur naturally (possibly implemented by a competitor). The elements of the Directed Evolution (like Patterns etc.) are described in the paper, the process of the Directed Evolution is lined out, and examples of conducted work are given.» weiterlesen» einklappen
