What is Innovation?
• A new idea, practice, or object• Rarely entirely novel• Most successful innovation occurs at the boundaries between
subjects or organizations • Group, rather than individual effort—developers, users,
partners, colleagues• Tends to occur at lower levels in an organization• May disrupt industries or companies • Risky and rewarding.

The Business Case for Supporting Innovation
• Drives economic growth in the economy• Revenue: increased revenue from being first to market• Market dominance (e.g., Apple iPhone and ecosystem)• Attract and keep customers. Build customer loyalty, market
buzz • Avoid disruption, stay competitive, expand into new
markets• Create a fertile environment for R&D – Create a pipeline of new ideas to avoid stagnation and
being bypassed by competitors– Attract outstanding researchers

The Innovation Process
1. Open discussions, wide reading, input from colleagues, customers, partners => a growing awareness of a need
2. Define the problem3. Eliminate common, prosaic ideas4. Simmer5. Explore broadly6. Filter, winnow, focus7. Rethink, iterate, start from the top8. Develop

Role of Information Access and Analysis Tools
• Improve exploration and discovery• Introduce related information without superfluous information• Improve and/or eliminate queries. Help the user frame the
question• Discover unexpected relationships • Search on concept level rather than keywords• Unite multiple sources of information including some you may not
know• Collect and share• Enable information and people interaction in one application• Save time

Cognitive Computing…
12!
• Ambiguous, unpredictable • Conflicting data• Require exploration, not searching• Need to uncover patterns and surprises• Shifting situation, goals, information• Best answers based on context• Problem solving: beyond information gathering
…makes a new class of problem computable:

Cognitive Computing is…
18!
• Meaning-based• Probabilistic• Iterative and conversational• Interactive• Contextual• Learns and adapts based on interactions, new
information, users• Big data knowledge base—multiple sources,
formats• Analytics• Highly integrated set of technologies
![Page 19: Sparking Innovaon - WordPress.com · Sparking Innovaon: Dynamic Technologies for a Dynamic Process ... • Group, rather than individual effort—developers, users, partners, colleagues](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052612/5f0b4bf47e708231d42fd16d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

What Cognitive Systems Do
19!
Act as an intelligent partner:• Analyze BIG data• Understand human language on multiple levels• Analyze and merge all formats and sources of information• Uncover relationships across sources• Understand and filter by context• Find patterns in the data that are both expected and
unexpected• Learn from new information, new interactions

Examples

• Are there new drugs that might be MORE effective for controlling diabetes?
• Who is funding this terrorist organization and how are the funds delivered? IS THIS ORGANIZATION A THREAT?
• Can I identify the MOST RISKY product or customer problems before they blindside our company?
• Which company would be the MOST PROMISING M&A target?

What Cognitive Computing is NOT
21!
• More than big data or AI
• Not robotics.
• Not drones.
• Not humanoids
• Not entirely autonomous
• Not the singularity
• Not a human replacement
A cognitive system is an aid, not a replacement for humans

Barriers to Innovation• Lack of organizational support• Party line thinking• No time to think – Wasted time on repetitive tasks or because of poor tools
• Too-rigid innovation systems• Lack of encouragement of innovation from the bottom up
(where the best ideas bubble)• Poor or limited information• Information overload
