Ce que 45 ans m'ont appris sur les erreurs | Dr Michael Winter | TEDxInnovation Drive

Michael Winter, scientifique en chef de RTX, soutient que l'échec le plus courant en innovation ne vient ni d'une mauvaise science ni d'un manque de ressources, mais de personnes intelligentes qui posent des questions trop étroites. Il explique pourquoi une percée n'est jamais la fin de l'histoire et pourquoi la vraie question est de savoir si l'équipe a résolu le bon problème. S'appuyant sur 45 ans d'expérience dans l'aérospatiale et la défense, il évoque les piles à combustible, les lasers, la combustion et la propulsion. La conférence a été donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante.

• Pourquoi des équipes compétentes posent des questions trop étroites
• Pourquoi une percée ne met pas fin au processus d'innovation
• Résoudre le bon problème plutôt que le problème énoncé

Dr. Winter makes the case that the most common failure in innovation isn’t bad science or lack of resources. It’s smart people asking questions that are too small. He shows why the breakthrough is never the end of the story, and why the question that separates great innovators from brilliant failures is not “did we solve it?” but “did we solve the right thing? Chief Scientist at RTX, the largest Aerospace and defense company, (merger of Raytheon and United Technologies) where he shapes the company’s cross-enterprise technology strategy and accelerates innovation across aerospace and defense. With 45 years of experience, Dr. Winter work has enabled major commercial and military aircraft platforms with technologies spanning fuel cells, lasers, combustion, and propulsion systems. The inventor on more than 50 patents and over 50 technical articles, a fellow of AIAA and the Royal Aeronautical Society, and a member of the Connecticut Academy of Science & Engineering. He is widely respected for his deep technical insight and his ability to demystify complex aerospace challenges and is known for combining a “lab-rat” curiosity with a strategic, enterprise-wide perspective. He holds a Ph.D. and a Master of Philosophy, as well as a Master of Science from Yale University, and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University.
