How Much Do Dryers Weigh

Video Interview with Oscar Isoba:

Interview with Oscar Isoba: creative leaders and Invention


What should I do to learn a corporate level?
To change is necessary to learn.
Learning is a process by which store personal experiences for the future and that requires motivation, time and opportunity to practice and return to practice a task.
is an internal process but modified externally.
employer level to align all staff in each of the key sectors of the company.
matter so much what you know and what you do with what you know, and enable continuous improvement.

What actions should take the company to be creative leaders?
The supervisor's role is not only a passive verifier performance, but to trigger the proactive participation of your team.
Creativity is thinking something different in our context and Innovation is doing something different in our context.
The concept of what a creative can generate for the benefit of your company is the first step, second to realize that is not enough to decree that their supervisors should become creative, but required to adopt a program of technical and tactical development of leadership skills and creative contexts, people, processes and products.
In the market there are many models of leadership, each proclaiming to be the best, however, shows that most of these models only serve to entertain or raise short-term motivation.
Why not develop skills and leaving the world are faced with the disappointment that never taught them how.
So should be very careful in choosing the program that best fits idiosyncratic conditions of its staff and their specific needs, which among other things, are never short courses, but real programs for skills development and systematic change in attitudes. "

Why many Latin American companies do not accept creativity as an organizational value?
There are two main reasons: the first is that creativity has been linked exclusively to the field of marketing and advertising and specifically the generation Ad clever ", just remember that employees of advertising agencies themselves "creative", even though their products, sometimes just seem to lack originality and fine finish.
The second is that as in the theme of leadership, there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of pseudo consultants on creativity and innovation that the only thing they do in their "brand new course" is to entertain participants having a nice weekend, with dozens of pages full of ideas, not always aimed at the solutions needed, and some of these characters to have included in their "routine" training magic tricks, fun group techniques, etc..
At the end of the course, participants had fun, were entertained, rested, formed a good atmosphere, but not acquire new skills to generate creative transformations.
only recommend systematic programs of Creativity and Innovation, to differentiate them from those who only have a recreational or playful cathartic.
Systematized Creativity can generate solutions to problems that have been dragging it Over the years, transform their production systems, create new products or services, generate new market entry strategies, create new market niches and develop competitive advantages.
If your creativity and innovation consultants are able to offer this, then you are dealing with charlatans.

Today, among the professionals is much talk about emotional intelligence (EI),
How do you define this concept ?
- Emotional intelligence is a new construction which, even in the circles of
professionals dedicated to it still looking for a complete definition, which means that not much is known yet. However, we all have emotions and we know what we mean. Some definitions are recognized as
Some experts say it's capacity to perceive and express emotions, assimilate emotion in thought, to understand and reason with the emotions and regulating emotions in oneself and others.
Goleman is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings, the feelings of others, motivate and properly handle the relationships we have with the others and ourselves.
Others refer to all personnel management skills and social skills that allow us to succeed in the workplace and in life in general.
As do seem to agree all the authors is at what point Goleman and skills to recognize and regulate their own emotions and others.
Find a definition seems to have become to hunt and capture of something that while we are still unable to operate, how we define good?
Definition find clearer as we focus on understanding our own emotions from the experience itself and not from a theoretical idea.
Anyway we can say that emotional intelligence is the willingness to exploit those emotions that are intrinsic to human beings and turn them to our advantage, allowing them to interact naturally.

What are the differences between emotional intelligence and practical intelligence?
The differences between emotional intelligence and intelligence we practice ourselves, our fears and blocks because in fact the only thing we lack is the way of wanting to learn through good practical method to transform the emotions.
Emotional Intelligence is in the theoretical concepts and practical intelligence is at the level of experience should not tell the difference but distances between them. What separates one from another is our mind, we believe we can solve with ideas something that is resolved simply with facts.
And we can not understand the emotions if we look from other angles and points of view, so if distance between each other is our mind then we will have to do is start cleaning our minds of fears, prejudices and taboos that prevents us from seeing clearly.

As we all know, there are employees who know very well the theory of their work. However, in practice they are inefficient Why should this situation?
This question is very generic, but suppose that two people with the same socio-cultural and economic study a career in college while in college there are no differences between them are studying.
distinctions start when looking for work, this has nothing to do what they know but how they use it, ie how they use their skills.
Thus a worker will be efficient if you develop human skills to their advantage, for example, checked in extreme situations, situations change, and all to be surrounded by an environment that will benefit you and therefore your business.
Maybe we should start accepting that as important as formal education is a human formation in depth.

How emotional intelligence can help an organization achieve its goals?
If the goal of an organization is to get a good position in the market and important benefits without regard to human capital in every way imaginable, then to such organizations can help you work this is on human quality.
HR Managers do not have anything easy on the one hand, there are powerful companies that have great influence on the company to be making the most out of their advisory status. For Furthermore, the lack of time in all companies is a weak point on which many take advantage.
Some HR managers clearly reflect the chaos in which their companies are involved and manifested in their acts of desperation to find a method that in one day that will change them for many years can not. You want others to solve problems we do not want to solve. You pass another bad apple. These companies do not believe in a practical way of work on human quality.
The work done on this issue can only help companies to incorporate into his philosophy business practical project work on human quality. Only management will wake up the right way, others will see fear, embarrassment, loss of time ...
only benefit companies that spend time and change their point of view and do so with facts.

Every company has intellectual capital and emotional capital, how are linked
both?
What companies have a potential capital human and not just depend on them to take the necessary steps to qualify, but that the main perpetrators but also recipients are workers.
Intellectual capital is controlled by the company and talk about emotional capital is more revolutionary because it is not controllable by the company, this is part of the inside of a person and, therefore, only people individually and voluntarily are those who have the final say in accepting human development programs.
So what is there to try to link the company and the worker, both have to do a job of complicity to come out ahead.
All times of crisis brings new opportunities but at the same time, how can people take advantage of these opportunities?
There are many types of crisis with its various causes and effects. In some cases the crisis because we get too much into some things and leave other important.
Assuming we're talking about a natural crisis, that is, because things change naturally, in this case just what we need to do is accept that nothing is forever and that everything comes to an end. Actually this
is the natural disposition with which we should get up every day knowing that everything can change and what we simply have to do is try to do my best without worrying about what will happen when it's over?, so offer no resistance constantly change is occurring in the workplace and in life.
Every crisis gives us the opportunity to acknowledge mistakes, learn from them and modify as needed.
gives us the opportunity to know what has not been done well and instead of wasting time looking for responsible, most helpful is to not repeat the mistake. In short, regardless of what caused a crisis, the greater chance we can take is to learn.
daily
If our attitude is to want to learn from the mistakes, the crisis will not be as such but as a new opportunity to learn. Be willing to learn from mistakes is to leave behind some emotions that harm us, or what is, is to have cleaned up our mind of emotions such as shame, pride, jealousy, self-esteem, desire to excel, fear, among others.

How Emotional Intelligence can do more creative the
workers?
Emotional intelligence alone can not do more creative workers. What may make them more creative emotional intelligence is applied from the point of view of freedom.
Creativity is a human value that can be developed extensively.
When people we let go of bitterness, hatred, jealousy, stress, bad mood ... we clean part of our mind allows us to focus on enjoying things, share ideas and work in an indoor environment free of obstacles, from there each employee will get the best you have.
Creativity is spontaneous and originated partly in the right hemisphere, but partly also a deliberate effort by the left hemisphere, which applies techniques and valid tools to generate new ideas.


And how does an innovator and an inventor?
The Innovator must come up with your idea and plan of action and impose market through creativity and advertising his idea.
Instead, the inventor must know in depth a given problem, have extensive knowledge in the laws of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, materials science and consolidate all this in a systematic and TRIZ .
is not going random testing or I could run the tool but to implement concrete and direct.

What makes an inventor?
Every invention is a long way towards the impossible.
But the impossible means impossible with current and existing media.
Creativity is the first step towards the invention and the inventor is one who finds and implements a new concept, making the impossible becomes possible.

Is it true that learning causes changes in the shape of the brain?
Learning changes many things. Studies in animals show that brain areas that control movement, when training for a complex movement, experiencing an increase in area of \u200b\u200bthe cerebral cortex dedicated to that function.
That happens with the violinists, for example. Not that the brain gets bigger or smaller, is a change in their computational characteristics.
A very simple test is to repeat a group of children and youth, words over and over again, while their brains are mapped.
Every time I repeated the words, their brains became more rapid and efficient.
As an indicator, measures the level of demand for oxygen in the blood, which reduced progressive so that the brain functioned more efficiently.
So, what changed was not the way the brain, but its mechanisms.

How to build the knowledge and creativity?
I have a position and ideological education and learning is constructed from two kinds: natural and social.
I do not believe that to be creative you must necessarily be modified internally.
If you is motivated and knows the tools while stimulating their generation of ideas and aims.
Then you must have some knowledge and applying TRIZ theory and systematically.
Creativity is the first step on a long road through innovation and perseverance if you finish in the Invention.

Can you teach a particular person to be creative?
Yes, of course, and you can teach someone to play tennis, you can teach a person to optimize the business requires creativity. Because companies do not require any kind of creativity, require a specific type and productive.
business creativity has unique characteristics, for example requires a large production of ideas, time management, and apply a consistent theory should be taught TRIZ and creativity within the limits of the organization, that is what matters.
Do I need a good environment for people to be creative?
necessarily have to be a climate of trust, free speech, intellectual freedom, in a good mood but it depends on how you understand the good mood.
one thing and another American humor is the humor of the town.

What you assess the gurus of creativity?
Very few, De Bono, Altshuller, Michalko, Von Oech, Mauro Rodriguez, Gardner and another.
Most Rated by me, is that a growth and a wide range of application of theories and presentations over the years.
The constant repetition and not grow is a sign of little creativity and you can not teach creativity without being creative.

Criticize you some current teachers?
I do not think it is valid to teach creativity as something internal, secret and inaccessible to the person or a mystery to unravel.
first be taught what is the general basis of agreement among recognized experts, and only then and in addition, what you think.
If this is not done, trim the creative spectrum and innovative and falls into the selfish attitude of believing that we can reinvent the wheel.

What should be done in Latin America to enter the first world?
I shot some ideas:
1.On all rich countries, the number of young people choosing a career in science and engineering, despite being low, it's something that motivates scholarships or internships.
addition, children in primary and secondary schools must do fun projects on science workshops, how to design a small robot submarine or with works of wit and creative problems, or learning the inventive principles of Altshuller.
then means that science and invention are tools to do what you want to do, and not a fence to jump to get a good job.
2-There
as the ALFA III Programme of the European Community to provide technical assistance and update teachers in Latin American universities to support the development of Innovation and Industrial Product Design, where the EU participates with up to 90% of the costs of internationally recognized instructors.
3-Universities must update the materials and accompanying curriculum changes and globalization.
In that sense, private universities, at least in Argentina, are better positioned for the challenges and the current changes to be more dysfunctional, more computerized and other agreements with foreign universities recognized.
4-You as a professional, you should consider that their knowledge and skills are broken down in less than five years, so their education should be continuous and understand that the graduate or are constantly updated and a need.
basics still valid but the technology and the market are constantly changing and you must follow.
There are two important events in this century of creativity:
· Internet Information today is about 20 times greater than all the information given in libraries and other media from the man sapiens.
· Today there are about 1000 million people connected to the web and other 5.5 billion that barely knows the name Internet, which deepens the technological gap.
7 You must decide whether to apply the information you have Internet access and a creative or not.

Should You Have White Cm Before Period?

creative leaders and invention TRIZ : the theory of inventive problem solving

Oscar Isoba

0 Introduction
TRIZ is a
systematic method to enhance creativity , based on the study of models of evolution of patents and other types of solutions to problems. People who solve problems intuitively find that TRIZ (Teoriya resheniya Izobretatelskih Zadach) provides additional ideas. People solve problems in a structured way will also find that TRIZ provides additional structures.
technical creativity comprises a set of procedures of "creative thinking" that are designed to solve problems with innovative solutions . The technical nickname is added to the word creativity to differentiate between artistic creativity and to exclude from its scope any aspect related to art , although it can handle ergonomics criteria or aesthetic . This method is own area Engineering.
problem is defined as a circumstance that does not match the current situation with certain expectations. This broad definition suggests that technical creativity can be used for almost anything, although the main applications are given in companies and the research , which is used for troubleshooting ; strategy , management or technology .
The creative thinking is a modified form of reasoning which seeks to obtain ideas low probability , novel and innovative, that would not be accessible otherwise. Different ways exist to cause this type of reasoning are especially creative techniques.
Most existing techniques, including all the classic techniques, using an alteration of "normal reasoning" a procedure own of each technique. For the generation of ideas is not required to be an expert on the subject on which reasonable, although the process of solving a problem is phases analysis of the ideas submitted and construction of the solution, which must be performed by specialists.
This broad group of techniques based on Intuition, psychology and imagination voluntarily ignores the background of patents on the item under study.
TRIZ is based on patent KNOWLEDGE element and the MANAGEMENT it.
TRIZ surprised by the speed and quality of the results and because they have made significant progress and solved problems of extreme difficulty in and Sciences Industries ; basic.
No other creative method is the large number of applications the Processes, Products and Services has TRIZ.
This technique of solving problems "TRIZ" is unique in its concept as it arises from a different approach, which involves using the best available knowledge about a particular problem and reach their solution for the adaptation of previously implemented solutions to similar problems.
The TRIZ is the first technique that has been defined as "knowledge-based " but not only, because after it had been built others, resulting it.
Moreover, at the same time the TRIZ and the same person was created ARIZ, an algorithmic procedure that uses the TRIZ and is not discussed here because of the complexity of the basic technique, however, for those interested, contact www.altshuller.ru

1 GEINRICH ALTSHULLER

The term comes from the word TRIZ Russian "ТРИЗ" which is an acronym for "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving." Although TRIZ has spread widely throughout the world and in some American publications, can find the word TIPS (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving).
The creator of TRIZ was Genrich Altshuller, a Russian engineer who developed the theory through the analysis a million and a half patents in 1990. He realized that, despite the inventions solved problems that analyzed different fields are also very different, the solutions used were obtained from a relatively small set of basic ideas or principles invention.
Altshuller published his first article on TRIZ in 1956. Between 1961 and 1979 he wrote the books basic , exposing the method in an orderly and entering the name in the text TRIZ "Creativity as an exact science ." This latest book was the first to be translated into English and published outside the Soviet Union in 1984, but not a lot of attention by the complexity of the theory exposed and because the translation was poor.
Altshuller and TRIZ achieved international recognition in 1990, the U.S. published the book "And suddenly the inventor appeared", in which the method is explained in much more understandable. The TRIZ method had already been recognized in the Soviet Union as a contribution very valuable in 1970. The first TRIZ seminar was held in 1969, the first school was established in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in 1974 and the Russian TRIZ Association was established in 1989.
The method has been applied almost exclusively to the resolution of technical or technological problems, but given the huge number of these problems, today is the technique most often used by creative companies and universities.
Genrich Altshuller continued throughout his life working on the method, making new contributions and forming a group of "masters of TRIZ, continuers of main development.

2 DEVELOPMENT

The development of TRIZ method in a first stage, is linked to Altshuller and his collaborators . Between 1974 and 1986 only works on TRIZ in different schools or Russian studies, among which school in Kishinev in 1982, has been the main focus of TRIZ for a long period of time .
In 1986 he established the first companies to TRIZ engineering in Russia and 1992 in the United States . From this point forward the method is tied more to companies that universities or research centers.
Outside of Russia, three countries, USA, Israel and Japan, who have distinguished themselves by accepting and momentum to TRIZ.
Some Russian experts have taken up residence in the United States and in this country where, besides Russia, are currently made the most progress.
important milestones in the development of TRIZ, from 1979, are introduction of the "solutions standard" and the version ARIZ 85 and the beginning of software development in 1991.
The development of TRIZ has followed several channels in parallel. The first has been the improvement of tools might be called classic, like the matrix Contradictions and Solutions Standard ; and 85 ARIZ algorithm.
A second path of development has been the creation of new tools such as the corresponding software.
have been applied to problems classic but have also been used to extend the method to other fields of technology , Sciences Social , Microelectronics, or management.
And there independent techniques, TRIZ shared with the theoretical, but simplified raise questions such as Systematic Inventive Thinking SIT.
See: Systematic Inventive Thinking the end of this presentation.
Finally, TRIZ has started to implement in conjunction with other techniques known business management such as "Six Sigma" and other creative tools such as the Synectics.
With these powerful combinations are obtained systems and building management.
The TRIZ method is proving so useful for forecasting and planning general technological developments as to solve specific problems, so its use (despite its complexity ARIZ stage 85), extends in a crescent.

3 PREMISE

There are two types of problems that human beings must face:
· ; previously known solutions
· unknown Solutions
Those with known solutions can usually be solved with information obtained from technical texts and journals, also consultations with specialists in the field in question.
These solutions follow a pattern of problem solving as muestrs in the following figure:

Here The particular problem is elevated to a standard problem of nature analogous or similar.
A standard is known and it will come my particular solution. Example: Suppose we need to design a rotating device whose output is 100 rpm, from a AC electric motor 2300 rpm.
standard analog
The problem is how to reduce engine speed.
similar
The standard solution is a speed reducer or gear transmission box, then this gear will be designed with appropriate dimensions, weight, torque, etc.

4 Inventive Problem

For problems with unknown solutions fall within the field of psychology , where the links between brain , insight and innovation are methods studied, such as brainstorming and trial and error is usually suggested. Depending on the complexity of the problem, the number of trial and error will vary greatly.
If the solution falls within our experience or field, such as mechanical engineering, the number of test and error will be somewhat smaller but no less an irrational method.
If the solution is not reached, the engineer must look beyond their experience and knowledge , ie, should venture into other fields such as chemistry or electronics . Then the number of tests grow depending on how well you can handle the psychological tools like brainstorming, intuition and creativity. An additional problem is that these psychological tools such as experience and intuition are difficult to communicate to another person within an organization .
This addresses what is called psychological inertia , where solutions are considered within the experience of one and not look at alternative technologies to develop new concepts of solution. Example: A mechanical engineer can find a solution to their problem outside the realm of their experience.

5 CONDITIONS OF TRIZ

Geinrich Altshuller, constructs a theory with the following conditions:
· procedure be a systematic step by step.
· Being a guide through the wide spaces of the steps leading solution for the ideal solution.
· be repetitive and reliable and not dependent on psychological tools.
· must allow access to the body of inventive knowledge.
· add items must allow the body of inventive knowledge.
· be friendly enough for designers to follow the general approach for solving inventive problems.
Altshuller screened patent 1,500,000, leaving about 200,000 of them just trying to find inventive problems and how they were resolved. Of these only 40,000 patents were considered by inventive to 1990.
to date are estimated at more than two million patents screened by TRIZ.
45000 are still only a inventive patents (including a new phenomenon) and the rest are just routine improvements or new concepts.
An inventive problem is where the solution causes other problems, ie when something is improved, other conditions worsen, and this was called a technical contradiction.
If we reduce the cost a stamped metal part, it better by reducing the thickness of the plate, but as a result suffers its mechanical strength. To achieve an ideal solution should eliminate trade-offs or off, that is to completely eliminate the causes.
inventive
All these patents were classified 5 levels:
Level
Grade inventive
Source
knowledge
% Solution
1
apparent Solutions
Individual knowledge
32%
2
Minor improvements
Knowledge within the company
45%
3
Major improvements
Knowledge within the company
18%
4
New concepts
outside the enterprise knowledge
4%
5
Discovery of new phenomena
All that is knowable
1%
Overall 90% of the issues professionals face were already solved somewhere under a certain kind of knowledge, so if you could follow a path toward the ideal solution, starting from the lowest level of experience and personal knowledge and get to work towards higher levels, most of the solutions could be quickly deduced from the Knowledge Management.
Knowledge
These are patents and technological discoveries to date.
The TRIZ method, has an extensive theoretical background with some assumptions. The three main ones are:
First Postulate: "Most made systems evolve man following predetermined guidelines, rather than randomly. These guidelines can be met through the study of evolution multiple systems and the knowledge acquired and can be used to accelerate the development of other systems. "
The second postulate is a version of the principle of closed world and says: "Most technical systems that exist are redundant resources, ie have more resourced to perform the functions for which they were conceived. As a result, almost all systems can perform their function more effectively or to perform additional functions without being modified.
Finally, the third postulate says: "You can find common ways to solve problems or improve a system based on predetermined stages of evolution, by historical analysis of inventions. This allows knowledge for innovation can be collected and transferred. "
