What do we do?

We ask the tough questions and challenge pre-existing ideas so as to discover the best solution(s) to any problem. We work together to ensure that we have all the tools, resources and talent at our finger tips. We work in teams to research, to innovate and to overcome any problem that block our paths. As an individual we may be weak; but together we are unstoppable.

What we are doing will transform the lives of our members and the wider global community as we stand together equipped with the knowledge and tools to face the future. We expand our solution and knowledge base in all areas of life through the Solution Portal. Our mission is to cause a sudden gushing/spurting out of Ikigai Innovation starting right from the grass-roots. We will then help translate and transform this spurting/gushing out of ideas and innovation into self-sustaining enterprises that bring a great number of benefits to the world.

What are we trying to achieve?

Our main aims are to bring together and utilize available potential. To be the one place where people can become both inspired and enlightened, to bring out the best and brightest in those who are seeking opportunities to unleash their hidden creative powers… so that we can all benefit from this great pool of hidden resource and talent which everyone has some of, and to set their spark of creativity alight. Thereby, allowing people to realize that once propelled into the air, they have wings that can take them above and beyond any obstacle that would keep them stuck. We aim to be the place where ideas and innovations can be easily transformed into useful products, tools and resources.

Our vision is to transform as many lives as we can through both providing the tools and knowledge necessary (Ikigai)

Goals: 2012-2015

2012-15 Find 500 Ideas that translate into 50 workable projects that result in 1 flagship success.

1-2nd Year (2012-13) * Start idea gatheringSetup Organization and network (develop PowerMatrix - Database) Develop tools (A COMPLETE INNOVATION MANAGEMENT APPLICATION/TOOL -A PRIZE BASED GAMIFICATION SYSTEM TO REVOLUTIONISE R&D, Semantic Web 3.0)We are expected to evolve as the third way for SMEs to synergistically combine closed and open innovation. Trust is supposed to be the enabling parameter in balancing necessary multiple relationships with communities. “Semantic Technologies” Web 3.0 (the “Semantic Web”) is based on the attempt to capture the meaning (semantics) of information and to cross-link knowledge by using so called meta-data (context-data) making it possible for the Web to "understand" and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use its content. Semantic Technologies are the most prominent enablers for the transition from data and information to knowledge.
