Solutions innovation, solutions engineering for industry solutions
Abstract
What is Innovation? It's not always about inventing something entirely new. Innovation occurs at the intersection of invention and business insight. Creating industry solutions is not about doing something new for every client's problem, it is about creatively solving business problems with reusable assets or building blocks. It is about using a systematic process to solve clients business and infrastructure problems for speed and quality. Creating a discipline, can we quickly and easily create and manage solutions? Changing business environments require quick changes, new business models and new solutions. In IBM, we are using a Solutions engineering approach to change the way we work with the solutions lifecycle. Business drivers, process enablers and lessons learned will be presented.
