Meet the Gorilla
DVC Consultants new Gorilla Innovation Acceleration Process (GIAP)
At DVC consultants we have created a new Innovation Acceleration Process (GIAP), we call 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.
Disruptive technologies, on the other hand, provide the tools to implement these innovative ideas, reshaping industries and challenging conventional norms.
The synergy of lateral thinking, generative AI, and disruptive technologies creates a dynamic environment where creative problem-solving, unconventional ideas, and cutting-edge advancements intersect, driving transformative change across various fields.
The Gorilla Innovation Acceleration Process is named after the gorilla to symbolize 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 metaphor embodies the robust and agile nature of the innovation process, where strategic strength, adaptability, and collaborative intelligence are key to achieving impactful outcomes in the dynamic environment of business innovation.
The Gorilla Innovation Acceleration Process:
