Download or read book Innovation Engineering written by Ikhlaq Sidhu and published by Version. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation Engineering is a practical guide to creating anything new - whether in a large firm, research lab, new venture or even in an innovative student project. As an executive, are you happy with the return on investment of your innovative projects? As an innovator, do you feel confident that you can navigate obstacles and achieve success with your innovative project? The reality is that most innovation projects fail. The challenge in developing any new technology, application, or venture is that the innovator must be able to "execute while also learning". Innovation Engineering, developed and used at UC Berkeley, provides the tactical process, leadership, and behaviors necessary for successful innovation projects. Our validation tests have shown that teams which properly use Innovation Engineering accomplished their innovative projects approximately 4X faster than and with higher quality results. They also on-board new team members faster, they have much fewer unnecessary meetings, and they even report a more positive outlook on the project itself. Inter-woven between the chapters are real-life case studies with some of the world's most successful innovators to provide context, patterns, and playbooks that you can follow. Highly applied, and very realistic, Innovation Engineering builds on 30 years of technology innovation projects within large firms, advanced development labs, and new ventures at UC Berkeley, in Silicon Valley, and globally. If your goal is to create something new and have it successfully used in real life, this book is for you.

Download or read book Perspective On Holistic Engineering Management A Learning Adapting And Creating Value written by Robert J Aslett and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, a prosperous technology company can be disrupted and put out of business in a blink of an eye. The development of many different technologies that once took years can be done in months or weeks. There are also few examples where the engineering work is completely contained in one company or one engineering organization. Business strategies have evolved. The analysis of competitive forces in an industry has matured to include the concepts of disruptive innovation and coopetition.In an ecosystem characterized by rapid changes in technology and how it is developed, an engineering R&D organization will quickly become irrelevant if it fails to keep the pace of innovation needed to succeed. This book provides readers with a holistic approach to engineering management.We have seen that successful managers create a strong foundation of a common culture that enables learning, value creation, diversity and inclusion. They create organizations that tightly connect the core engineering functions of strategic planning, research and development and are able to comprehend and direct a broader R&D system that stretches well beyond their own organization's boundary. Doing all of this to extract the greatest value in the least amount of time is what we call holistic engineering management.The content for this book is based on over 105 years of combined experience working in a rapidly changing industry. In most chapters, practical examples and case studies of the concepts provided are given. As noted in the foreword by Pat Gelsinger (CEO, VMWare) and in comments from other technology leaders: Aart de Geus (Chairman and co-CEO, Synopsys, Inc.), Aicha Evans (CEO, Zoox, Inc.), William M Holt, (former Executive VP, GM, Intel, Corp.), and Amir Faintuch (Senior VP, GM, GlobalFoundries, Inc.), this book will be valuable for students of engineering management and current engineering managers.
