I had the opportunity to review a paper written by a colleague, Jim Belfiore, that will be presented at TRIZCON2008. I won’t steal Jim’s thunder here, but if you are planning on going to TRIZCON, I highly recommend the session that Jim will be presenting.
Jim is taking on a topic not usual seen at this event—using TRIZ principles to guide business strategy. The paper presents an approach to looking at how technologies evolve to target M&A opportunity spaces. Predictive analysis of the opportunities yields a targeted IP analysis plan to uncover interesting investment opportunities.
Sound interesting? I found the paper a novel treatment of the subject and a clever application of TRIZ thinking. Knowing Jim as I do, I think this is a presentation not to be missed. I wish I could be there.
