Meet the Gorilla

At DVC Consultants, we have created a new Innovation Acceleration Process (GIAP) called the Gorilla.Leveraging lateral thinking with generative AI and disruptive technologies, we have created a groundbreaking innovation. By encouraging a non-linear approach, lateral thinking enables the exploration of diverse ideas. Generative AI, with its ability to create novel content, can aid in generating unique solutions.The Gorilla Innovation Acceleration Process is named after the gorilla to symbolise strength, adaptability, and collective intelligence. Much like a gorilla navigating through the complexities of a jungle, this process involves navigating through the diverse landscape of ideas, leveraging the strength of generative AI, discovering disruptive technologies, and adapting to evolving challenges.

The Gorilla Innovation Acceleration Process:

Lateral Thinking, Generative AI, and Disruptive Technologies

  1. Ideation and Conceptualisation:
    • Conduct ideation workshops and brainstorming sessions, fostering cross-functional collaboration.
    • Apply lateral thinking techniques to stimulate unconventional ideas and diverse perspectives.
  2. AI-Driven Ideation and Analysis:
    • Implement generative AI algorithms to analyse data and uncover patterns.
    • Utilise algorithmic creativity to generate and assess alternative solutions based on data insights.
  3. Technology Scouting and Disruption Assessment:
    • Regularly scan the industry for emerging disruptive technologies.
    • Assess the potential impact of identified technologies on existing processes.
  4. Prototyping and Feasibility Testing:
    • Prototype solutions using identified disruptive technologies.
    • Conduct feasibility tests to assess the viability and practicality of proposed solutions.
  5. Implementation and Scaling:
    • Develop a strategic implementation plan based on validated prototypes.
    • Utilise disruptive technologies for efficient solution deployment.
  6. Continuous Improvement and Adaptation:
    • Establish feedback loops for ongoing refinement, incorporating lessons learned.
    • Monitor industry trends and adapt strategies accordingly to stay ahead.
  7. Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration Framework:
    • Facilitate cross-functional collaboration platforms for idea exchange.
    • Establish knowledge-sharing mechanisms, promoting insights and best practices.

By closely linking these activities, organisations can create a seamless and iterative process that maximises the synergies between lateral thinking, generative AI, and disruptive technologies, leading to sustained innovation and competitive advantage. Utilising this process, DVC Consultants in 2023 has helped create two new orchestration platforms that will disrupt both the brand consulting and disruptive technologies industries, and LOAF GenAI 24.
