Advanced Innovation Methodology (AIM)

AIM is a breakthrough in moving up the innovation maturity curve and creating high-impact innovations on demand. It provides a unique, reproducible and disciplined process and tool set that allow interdisciplinary teams to identify strategic opportunities and focus on developing the specific innovations required for maximum competitive advantage.

AIM employs a combination of proprietary computer-assisted collaborative decision support with powerful innovation tools developed over three decades through FarSight Group's basic research on the creative process. Applying Dr. George Land's Transformation Theory* the process finds linkages among widely separated disciplines to bring new concepts into being. The process tears down the usual barriers to seeing problems in an entirely new light and creating unexpected synergies.

AIM has been employed in many different environments, including petrochemicals, electronics technologies, consumer products, business equipment and a wide variety of government projects.
