Study Notes
Collaborative Model for Innovation
- The collaborative model for innovation is a culmination of design, technology, and innovation.
- The model was developed through a research project that involved real case studies from industry partners.
Case Studies
- The first case study was the design of a next-generation bicycle for Hero Cycles.
- The objective was to design a low-cost bicycle that could compete with Chinese imports.
- The team consisted of a student, a guide, and a co-guide from IIT Delhi, and a team from Hero Cycles.
- The SAPLAP (Situation, Actor, and Process; Learning, Action, and Performance) framework was used to assess the case study.
- The second case study was the design of a dual chambered bottle for a beverage company.
- The objective was to design a bottle that could hold two liquids and mix them only when the consumer wanted to drink.
- The team used creative analogies to generate ideas, including inspiration from camera shutters, dispensers, and soda bottles.
- The final design was a shutter-based mechanism that was patented by the company.
- Other case studies included the design of a petrol pump for Midco and the redesign of a lock product for Godrej.
Key Learnings
- The interaction with the team of experts was iterative in nature.
- The concept development happened with experts from the manufacturing sector in sheet metal.
- The solution to the existing design problem lay in a new paradigm, in this case, car manufacturing.
- The selection of special partners, such as experts in deep drawing and alloying, was critical to the success of the project.
- The form factor and material properties were important considerations in the design process.
- The learning from the case study was that solutions to existing design problems will lie in new paradigms.
Framework
- The SAPLAP framework was used to assess the case studies.
- The framework consists of:
- Situation: understanding the context of the problem
- Actor: identifying the key stakeholders and their roles
- Process: developing the solution
- Learning: what was learned from the process
- Action: implementing the solution
- Performance: evaluating the outcome of the solution### Collaborative Model for Innovation
