Collaborative Problem Solving and Design

At Mirak we're working towards solving the major problem of research and develop - finding ways to reliably generate good solutions and designs.

Our current prototype software allows external experts to participate in a collaborative "evolutionary problem solving" process over the internet.

We plan to create a database of profiled experts allowing companies to search for the appropriate experts and engage them in the collaborative process over the internet.

The rationale for our new system is based on recent research demonstrating that
  • by involving people who have an adequate understanding of the subject area in which the problem or design need occurs, but have different perspectives of the subject
  • and having them participate in a continuous improvement process in which they make improvement suggestions and vote on others' suggestions
  • that you will produce better outcomes compared to what a few talented people with the relatively same perspective can produce
The reason is that in problem solving and systems design you want to draw from different cognitive models that can provide different ways of overcoming or improving challenges.

This system is currently in the Beta testing stage. If you are interested in participating please contact us and we'll get you connected.
