La Quinta Inn’ Hotel, 7680 Merriman Road, Romulus, MI 48174, 734-641-9006

CREATING SUCCESSFUL INNOVATIONS:
General Theory of Innovation (GTI) and Its Applications

This is the first of two pilot full-scale seminars that were planned for the year of 2006. The multinational group of Innovation professionals (USA, Canada, Italy and India) came to learn GTI. According to the participants, the seminar was successful. Some of them have received immediate benefits. For example, Bill Fowlkes of Kodak applied GTI-based forecasting methodology to the business of printing, in which kodak is involved, and, admittedly, concieved a number of new novel product ideas. We applaud Bill's efforts to apply GTI and wish him success!

A number of pictures were taken during the seminar by Michael Cattane. They could be found at the IPI Gallery page. Thank you, Mike!

Welcome to the Institute of Professional Innovators (IPI)! Our mission is to provide both individuals and organizations (including nonprofit entities and government agencies) with the knowledge, skills and tools required for developing their "On-Demand Innovation" capability and making innovation their core competence.

The above results are enabled by the General Theory of Innovation (GTI), a scientific theory that transforms the capricious and random art of innovation into a set of robust orderly science-based processes with highly predictable and consistently successful outcomes. Now you can control innovation by using the power of science. Welcome to IPI, the home of GTI!

Are you interested in the benefits of controllable, predictable innovation? Are you interested in consciously and significantly improving your product or service? Is gaining market share your goal? How about increasing customer satisfaction, improving quality AND simultaneously reducing costs? Would you like to develop your innovation-related skills and expertise? Do you appreciate the benefit of learning from your colleagues’ experience and sharing your experience with them? Would you like to stay up-to-date with GTI-based knowledge and best practices? Then IPI’s Membership Program is for you!

Innovation is defined as a process aimed at value creation that consists in changing the composition of a set of variables describing a system of one's choice.
