Originally designed as a "think tank for hire",〔https://innovationnews.com/maggie-nichols/〕 the Ranch worked primarily with Fortune 100/500 companies looking for new product ideas.〔http://www.inc.com/magazine/19970501/1229.html〕 The Ranch partnered with the University of Maine in 2005 with the founding of a new field of study called Innovation Engineering.〔http://www.umaine.edu/innovation〕 Designed as a system based on the principles of W. Edwards Deming and the Quality Movement, it consists of 48 skills〔http://www.eurekaranch.com/the-body-of-knowledge.html〕 designed to instill a mindset of never-ending innovation. The 48 skills are the foundation for both the academic system and corporate consulting, with students graduating and private industry customers completing Black Belt〔http://www.innovationengineering.org/black-belt-certification.html〕 Certification to mark mastery of the 48 skills. Eureka! Ranch claims to separate themselves from other "innovation consultants" based on the following elements: * Delivery of a complete system for innovation, from creation to commercialization * Continuous improvement of tools and systems as the only major innovation firm investing in new research and development * Practical tools proven by data; designed to be understood by everyone and powerful enough to be trusted by anyone * Insistence on meaningful uniqueness; Eureka! Ranch classifies an innovation as only those ideas that both have additional meaning to someone's life and being new to the world * Entrepreneurial approach; a focus on empowering individuals creates opportunities for collaboration and fun〔http://www.eurekaranch.com/about-eureka.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doug Hall (inventor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
