Cognitive systems are revolutionising innovation development by acting as intelligent partners. These technologies, which are operated by speech, gaze and gestures, take over the targeted search and processing of information. In contrast to conventional search engines, which only provide shallow information, cognitive systems enable in-depth and efficient knowledge management.

This type of system leads to a condensed performance of knowledge workers. They not only collect data, but also process it in a coherent manner, enabling more precise decisions to be made. This process, known as ‘digital hunting and gathering’, optimises the search for information and turns the collected knowledge into a valuable resource.

At the centre of this development stands cognitive design, which is based on the analysis of patterns of action and continuous adaptation to new information. Cognitive tools provide comprehensive support for this process, from analysing and generating ideas to implementing innovations. They offer a new quality of information processing and decision-making.
The function of the cognitive system as a ‘third eye’ is particularly exciting. It maintains an overview of large amounts of data and helps to develop more precise and creative solutions. It sharpens the eye for important details and enables comprehensive analyses that go beyond human capabilities.

Cognitive innovation has the potential to fundamentally change the way we design and implement new things. The targeted use of information and support from intelligent systems will make the innovation process more efficient and of higher quality, which promises a significant competitive advantage.
