IAO = Innovation Assistee par Ordinateur DNA a idee qu'on demelle et emmele pr structure complete

Gartner's hype cycle for July 2008

So... basically we are just after the disillusion and right before enlightenment, sounds perfect! (source Media History Through Gartner Hype Cycle Graphs: 1995-2008 by Advertising Lab). The IBM mahamoth even did the "Wiki as a mashup platform" (QEDWiki) for fast innovation and graduated it from concept to professional tool in the end of this summer! (August 2008)

Sum-up

What do we do?

We offer consultancy and a platform to creative people who have a concept to transform to a project to transform to a product.

For who ?

We specialized in promising hi-tech project with a social goal. See also the (outdated) Leads page.

Innovation Chain

What we call the "innovation chain" : pedagogical way to explain what Seedea is for Classical production line, the value chain which goes from the idea to the bought product (even better to its recycling). Seedea focuses on the upstream part of this chain, basically so you can zoom-in on it and call it the innovation-chain as it is a different problematic, it doesn't involve logistic and such things.

Since it's linear and can have visuals, I should use it, plus it's a simple name.

Visualization

Current result : InnovationChain

fake factory production line in 3D that can be clicked on (link to a normal wiki) and constructed element by element (as if it were layers), thus not as a pictures either

Technically 3D iso design (based on 2D pics) with CSS/JS/HTML (no need for Flash or Java with Processing.js, RaphaelJS, script.aculo.us, mootools, or another JS library, it could become draggable and dropable easilly too).

See discussion on #processing.js on irc.mozilla.org, 17th of December 2009

From mess to order (smartly)

show a totally messy workshop (like a garage) then a shiny one, processes, etc... and in the middle Seedea, or the learning way to become more scalably creative. More possibilities thanks to listing, organization and AI techniques.

Is there actually a value in doing so? Well, try to cook, build, play, draw, ... i.e. make anything without material you can find and process you can leverage seems impossible. But more importantly, the freer you are from the limitations of tools and pallets available to you, the biggest you can think.

To study

Communication

Avoid the expression "automated creativity" and related "cold" ones but instead say "natural creativity, the way natures does it : repeated trial and error"

wiki, semantic, automated, ... -> $1 to Front National

Video

See Seedea.Video, the dedicated page.

Competitive advantage

To order by "how useful it is to the end-user" : ROI

Being fully integrated allow your team to stay perfectly focus and interact more easily.

USB Key

Sales arguments (talk about USES and not technical solutions)

hypergraph semantic wiki NO idea, managing, creating, automated boring tasks, innovating, connecting YES

Serie "What if"

what if Name, position, had this superb idea that would do this for your company but... didn't used because he lacked a pen at the right time ?

in this time (crisis and all), can you afford it?

make a serie with different people in different situation

Serie "Postcard"

a serie in a quality postcard format of pictures of the walls and houses of DaVinci, Einstein and other famous inventor/innovator and a second serie with high quality accountant.

Business card

Moved to it's own page : CoEvolution.BusinessCard.

Speech "What we do"

Why creativity over other areas?

Rules

(inspired by the constant reading from "Newest Companies" web feeds by TradeVibes and KillerStartups.com)

veasel, empty, buzz expression, give a situation example if needed (storytelling) NO this/that, choose the correct adjective, don't let the read cope with your lazyness/indecisiveness NO is a web site doing that -> is THE web site, you are not providing a generic service and if you do, you do it better than the others ! NO next-generation... how does that even make sence ? first yes, new yes, next generation ?! NO adjective A, B, C, D ... noun that can ... -> 2 lines introductive sentence, NO interminably long list of who can use it, NO

easy to remember name simple to understand solution (even if you don't know how) description of what it solves

2 types of annouces : client oriented : we do this and that better than the other do it, start simple they show to the pro that you understand them (use specific vocabulary)

bond by problem understanding

investor oriented : we are him and her within this structure coming from there and our solution has been intellectually secured (tm technology, patented, ...) backed-up by numbers, credentials (magazine, uni, clients)

bond by high potential with securities

Draft of what I would put into the Newest Company register : Seedea allows,permits makes easy

Note on names

Seedea seems to be used by an existing Finland company (cf CoEvolution#namenote) so here are new propositions if needed :

Those new names are mainly inspired from the idea that information is a flux or a stream (and potentially an article The business of flux, how Internet monetization could get find inspiration for the history of the water industry). Manipulating information and thus idea with an inappropriate model could be damaging. Also, the principle of Unix pipes and functional programming seems to be coherent with this view.

Biological code, RNA/DNA, is also a flux in the sense that it's constantly being interpreted for cell division but also for behavior of the cell itself. A flux that is not being used is "dead", there is no dormant code it is not waiting to be interpreted. Books and any other form of knowledge follow the same path, there is the need for at least 1 copy to be running or waiting to be run else the code is dead, the flux is definitely interrupted.

Good practice : explain the origin of the name, it provides better memorization affordances by making sense.

CoEvolution = Cooperative evolution of interacting organisms

Pronounce it like co+evolution

SEEDEA = Seed x Idea

Pronounce it like the letters C and D, like CD
