The keys to innovate:
1- Observe the environment.
2- Analyze, criticize and interpret it in an original way.
3- Identify the most appropriate need and study its stability.
4- Find the best solution.
5- Adapt to the evolution of the environment by following a new cycle.
In the history of humanity, these actions have changed the world:
A- By turning to livestock farming and agriculture, man modifies his nomadic practices and moves towards an urban way of life.
B- By becoming sedentary he turn into a builder.
C- To carry out more and more ambitious construction projects, he must find new sources of energy:
* hydraulic energy with water mills,
* wind energy with the sails of boats, mills,
* thermal energy initially with wood, coal, then gas, oil and today the sun.
* the electrical energy,
* the energy of matter, by nuclear fission and in the future by nuclear fusion.
D- With larger amounts of energy, it becomes possible to generate higher powers that require the use of new materials:
* wood,
* stone,
* the bronze,
* the iron,
* the work of the metals makes it possible to improve their mechanical characteristics,
* the manufacture of alloys and composite materials multiplies the possibilities of use,
* 3D printing makes complex shapes possible.
E- Life in society favors bartering and opens the way to trade. The exchange of goods leads to the development of means of communication and exchange networks:
* cave painting,
* ideogram,
* engraving,
* papyrus,
* writing on skin,
* writing on paper,
* telegraph network,
* radio wave,
* copper network,
* ADSL network,
* electromagnetic wave,
* telecommunication satellite,
* fiber optic network,
* road,
* highway,
* railway,
* port and sea route,
* airport.
F- Exchanges of information and consumer goods generate new needs that favor the emergence of new machines and processes:
* steam machine,
* weaving machine,
* printing,
* photography,
* pasteurization,
* combustion engine,
* phone,
* automobile,
* microprocessor.
Human innovation has never stopped and the company has the choice between two postures:
* resist the evolution of the market,
* be an actor of change.
