Innovation is about...

Turning invention into value?

Making ideas work?

Creating and using?

You choose a definition that suits you but which ever you choose you will find that innovation is about; effort, enthusiasm, leadership and of course a bit of luck!

 
 
 
 

Welcome to SI:Online!

SI:Online is a web-based learning platform for Systematic Innovation (SI)

lighbulb plantSystematic Innovation is an innovation process offering organisations significant value creating opportunities, it is the innovation process of choice for many organisations from SMEs to large multinationals. Systematic Innovation enables anyone to be creative and potentially solve real-world problems through the application of tried and tested tools and techniques. Systematic Innovation can be applied in both technical and business management environments for product and process innovation

SI:Online is a web-based resource for people involved in business management, technology or those studying SI in an academic context, offering:

  • Users in-depth explanations of all the SI tools and techniques, as well as frameworks, self-evaluation tools to monitor progress, and relevant reference materials
  • A “Quick Start” option for users that need to innovate fast!
  • Students and tutors the resources needed to study Systematic Innovation successfully.


 

Available Courses

  • Systematic Innovation consists of a rich set of powerful tools that are able to help people and organisations with their breakthrough innovation challenges.This course will help you understand the basic SI Tool set. By covering each topic in turn and most importantly doing the exercises then you should be in a position to use SI for a wide range of problems & challenges.
  • Innovation can be interesting, perhaps exciting and sometimes very rewarding! So it is probably because we tend to rush ahead that we forget to first ask "what is the problem?" or "is this really the problem that should be solved?" The result of our over enthusiasim is that we can find ourselves spending a lot of time and effort (and money) solving the wrong problem or a problem that wasn't really a problem at all! This course provides a set of tools to help you first understand what the problem is.
  • Technologists in whatever specialism are faced with the need to solve problems and to make 'breakthroughs' virtually all the time. Whether they are in engineering design or biopharmaceutical R&D solving technical problems is part of their day to day activity. This course then provides details of the Systematic Innovation tools that are specifically for technologists to help them solve problems and to make the necessary breakthroughs.
  • The concept of applying Systematic Innovation within a business management or non technical environment is new and exciting. This approach introduces business managers to the idea that innovation is not just about establishing strategies and structures it's also about providing individuals with the necessary tools and techniques to innovate a product or process once the strategies have been initiated.
  • This course is focused on the management of innovation within technical organisations. It considers the roles of strategy development, network management, innovation processes and organisational behaviour
