It refers to participative and collaborative (but not critique-free) communication.

Multiple positions and views are expressed with a shared understanding that everyone is focused on a common goal. There is no hierarchy. It’s not debate because there are no opposing sides trying to “win.” Rather, it’s about working together to solve a problem and create new ideas.

Here are five key rules of engagement that we’ve found to yield fruitful sessions and ultimately lead to meaningful ideas.

creating a space where everyone can truly contribute.

“Yes, AND”

“no, BECAUSE.”

if you’re going to say no, you better be able to say why.

We conduct ethnographic research to inform our intuition, so we can understand people’s needs, problems, and values.

We curate teams to create diversity

bring different ways of looking at the world and solving problems to the table.

Argument is productive for us because everyone knows that we’re working toward a shared goal.

The statement of purpose establishes the rules: It reminds us that we are working together to move the ball down the field. As much as we may argue and disagree, anything that happens in the room counts toward our shared goal. This enables us to argue and discuss without hurting one another.

Deliberative discourse is a form of play, and for play to yield great ideas, we have to take it seriously.

barriers to further development exist from an intellectual property perspective

Inventors must also determine if they are in a position to efficiently seize the market opportunity.

regulatory considerations, reimbursement strategies, intellectual property, and business development objectives. This leads to Phase I of the development model.

R&D in Phase II is responsible for generating early concepts. Brainstorming sessions are often held during this stage of development with members of R&D, marketing, and physician consultants. Computational analyses, such as stress and flow studies, are conducted to further understand the behavior of a proposed device. The team often develops a 3D CAD model of a proposed device

logic of decision making

and rationality

decision making is a reasoning or emotional process which can be rational or irrational, can be based on explicit assumptions or tacit assumptions.

Logical decision making

making informed decisions

recognition primed decision approach

without weighing alternatives

integrated uncertainty into the decision making process

A major part of decision making involves the analysis of a finite set of alternatives described in terms of some evaluative criteria.

multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) also known as multi-criteria decision making (MCDM).

differentiate between problem analysis and decision making

Problem analysis must be done first, then the information gathered in that process may be used towards decision making.[4]

a person's decision making process depends to a significant degree on their cognitive style

thinking and feeling; extroversion and introversion; judgment and perception; and sensing and intuition.

someone who scored near the thinking, extroversion, sensing, and judgment

would tend to have a logical, analytical, objective, critical, and empirical decision making style.

human decision-making is limited by available information, available time, and the information-processing ability of the mind.
