"As usual, for these co-written things, John
often had just the first verse, which was
always enough: it was the direction, it was
the signpost and it was the inspiration for
the whole song. I hate the word but it was
the template."
Paul McCartney

The Method
• Systematic Inventive
Thinking is a new
innovation method
developed by Dr. Jacob
Goldenberg (Columbia
University).
• Innovation follows a set of
patterns that can be re-
applied to any product,
service, or process.

follow one of only five patterns….

Task Unification
A multiplication of elements already existing in the product along with a qualitative change
Multiplication
The division of a product and/or its components either physically or functionally
Division
The creation/removal of dependencies between existing product properties.
Attribute
Dependency
The elimination of core components rather than an addition of new systems and functions
