Futuring and Innovation

-
In class CS-875, we are learning about futuring and innovation. This class talks about areas of future research which will be available in the next 15–20 years. Innovation requires thinking about the future, which are new ideas that are executed to create and generate values. We face lots of challenges in everyday life and based on the challenges, and people try to come up with new ideas to solve the problem and innovate something new to make things easier and creative. The new ideas for futuring might be successful or failure. The innovative opportunities consider complex future scenarios about technologies, industries, customers, societies, and economies.
            Some forces define it and that may facilitate or reduce its likelihood of success or failure of innovations. Some of the forces negatively impact the futuring efforts. The possible forces are technological, cultural, economical, legal, ethical, temporal, social, societal, global, national, and local.Technology force is changing day by day and contributing to the success of future innovations.

Group decision making

-
Group decision making is a process in which multiple individuals collectively analyze problems to make a decision. Group decision-making also known as collaborative decision making refers to a more specific focus on decision making to create equilibrium, or balance task concerns and relationship management. The group tries to figure out the real problems and symptoms of the issues to provide possible solutions (Lumencandela,n.d.). According to Lumencandela (n.d.) , “Group decision making provides two advantages which are synergy and sharing of information. The group makes a decision collectively by discussion, questioning, and collaboration to identify complete and robust solutions. Another advantage of the group decision-making process is the sharing of information among group members, which can increase understanding, clarify issues, and facilitate movement toward a collective decision( Lumencandela, n.d.)”. There are various types of the group decision-making process. 1)

  Electric vehicles are becoming more visible on American roads that are cool, special, and futuristic. Electric cars are becoming cheaper, making them more accessible to the general public. The electric vehicle has changed people’s opinions with feature advanced touch-screen interfaces, self-driving capabilities, and much more. We can expect to see completely autonomous cars shortly. The performance of these vehicles has significantly improved, with vehicles such as Tesla’s Model S being able to overtake traditional sports cars. Energy demands are surging with the rise of electric vehicles. According to Schaal(2019), Solar charging for cars is being developed where chargers can convert solar energy into electricity for EVs and vehicles that have solar panels attached to their roofs. Car running solely on solar energy is an incredible prospect and still under development to make it successful. Faster-charging, longer-range battery power is the future of electric vehicles. It’s quite ch

Innovation Example

  Innovation is the development of an absolute value that meets a new need of a customer and is critical in the modern economy. According to Dwyer(n.d), “Innovation is the process of creating value by applying novel solutions to meaningful problems (Dwyer, n.d.)”. Incremental innovation is the most common form of innovation that uses existing technology and increases the value to the customer. Innovation can be achieved through the following Serendipity : Discovering something good or useful. According to Meige (2010), “Serendipity is the ability to make accidental but fortuitous discoveries, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated. Pasteur and his collaborators discovered the vaccine against cholera is an example of Serendipity. Serendipity is a manifestation of creativity in which inspiration comes from outside( Meige ,2010) ” . Errors : Making a mistake that leads to discoveries and innovation. The famous proverb “Necessity is the mother of invention,” which
