About the Talk
--------------
Applied information Atelier (AiA) inc.
Digital tools that provide new ways of modeling innovative thinking
and solutions
The Company
AiA inc. was established in 1996 to design, develop and market
innovative products which facilitate idea and knowledge management,
idea and knowledge communication and facilitate modern engineering.
The Vision
The Modern Organization needs to achieve more market impact by
leveraging the knowledge in people, by building systems that support
knowledge, and by going beyond knowledge management. Therefore, AiA's
vision is to facilitate innovation and problem solving by providing
communities and organizations with the tools and methodologies that
facilitate not only idea management and communication, but the growing
of knowledge.
The technologies: IdeaProcessor and Statex
They are Applied information Ateliers, the place where knowledge
craftsmen work together representing problems, building prototypes and
creating solutions. Both systems are complementary, technically
advanced tools for qualitative and quantitative data processing,
content analysis, and system and knowledge engineering.
IdeaProcessor is a technology composed of a user driven software
system and a methodology to facilitate the idea and knowledge
management and communication with a graphical, intuitive and
relational approach. It permits simultaneous access to concept
formation by work groups and promotes shared understanding and
consensus. It facilitates the visualisation of problems and their
solutions. It is an 'ideator' - an idea editor, and groupware.
Statex is a powerful statistical expert system which allows data
mining - the extraction of meaning from a numeric data base - without
deep statistical knowledge. The software helps the user to organize
data, decides on appropriate methods, executes the analysis and
provides guidance for the interpretation of results.
