Infusing Innovation Into Organizations (eBook, PDF)

A Systems Engineering Approach
Redaktion: Darrin, M. Ann Garrison; Krill, Jerry A.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows how to systemically move a mature organization towards enhanced innovation performance. The systems approach offers two key benefits. First, it involves systematic analysis of problems encountered and their potential solutions to increase innovation. The second benefit is that the systems approach offers a holistic solution, through providing infrastructure and cultural support to an innovative workforce. The approach connects every participant in the organizational chain, and allows for the creation of systemic change that can influence the behavior of the whole system.

Autorenporträt

Ms. M. Ann Garrison Darrin has an extensive background in technology and engineering man agement in government (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Department of Defense), academia, and industry. She is the managing executive for the Space Exploration Sector of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. She is cochair and founder of the Mid-Atlantic Micro/Nano Alliance Group, board member of the Maryland Space Business Roundtable and the Science Council at the Maryland Science Center, and technical reviewer for IEEE Sensors. Darrin is the editor/author of several books on space/engineering published by CRC Press: Systems Engineering for Micro and Nano Scale Technologies, Handbook of Space Engineering, Archaeology, and Heritage, and MEMS and Microsystems for Aerospace Applications. She holds a master of science degree in technical management from UMUC, a bachelor of arts from Pennsylvania State University, and is a Certified Quality Engineer (ASQC). She is the recipient of several awards, including the Johns Hopkins University Women's Leadership Award, and holds several patents and has authored more than 60 papers. Dr. Jerry A. Krill is the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory's (APL's) assistant director for science and technology and chief technology officer. He is leading APL's innovation initiatives. He led the conception, enabling technologies, and design of the sensor network called the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) and was responsible to the U.S. Navy CEC program manager for meeting the accelerated, congressionally directed fleet introduction in 1995. In 1996, he served as technical lead for the Navy's "Mountain Top" advanced concept technology demonstration. Dr. Krill holds 21 patents and has written over 100 papers and technical documents. He received the American Society of Naval Engineers "Jimmie" Hamilton Award, was named a Maryland Daily Record Innovator of the Year, and was inducted into The Clark School Innovation Hall of Fame at the University of Maryland (College Park).
