Private Innovation
Competence Center (PICC)
To stimulate innovation, collaboration and the sharing of ideas.
Private Innovation
The Big Picture
PICC is a private collaborative workplace based on the principle of “crowdsourcing”. It’s a concept that aims to capitalize on all the knowledge available within an organization, in order to solve complex problems.
“Seekers” (employees looking for a solution) submit a problem. The “solvers” (employees offering ideas for posted problems) propose solutions. If the Solver’s solution is retained, a reward is given.
This collaborative workplace works using the TRIZ methodology, on the basis of the concept of “contradiction”. The seeker expresses his problem as a set of contradictions needing to be solved. Solvers will propose inventive solutions to address these contradictions. Any problem that does not present contradictions will automatically be set aside, thus ensuring that the company’s resources are dedicated to adding value, through the generation of inventions and not just ideas.
Target: All companies that recognize innovation as a Key Success Factor.
More than a marketplace
Seekers can interact directly with solvers by physically bringing their project to the dedicated PICC team. Trained experts will analyse the problem and formulate the contradictions needing to be addressed. Once these are validated, there are two possible scenarios:
The problem and its contradictions are posted on the collaborative PICC platform. Solvers can then propose solutions in exchange for a reward.
For complex problems requiring more expertise, the PICC team can decide to search for a solution, or to call on our early watch system, which allows them to scan the market for reusable existing solutions. It is also possible to submit the problem to our open innovation platform, thus allowing external parties to work on it.
