For example, TRIZ is a discipline in which one creates an absration of their problem, selects a standard solution based on the traits of the abstract problem, then maps the standard solution which itself is a an abstraction to a specific instance of a solution. The method is very powerful and has been used successfully by many organizations. There are many other techniques which share this common thread of reusing lessons learned in other domains.

I couldn't agree with you more. Indeed, while I was at a major auto manufacturer, I studied the movie industry for their product development processes and practices. This work led to several very un-conventional ideas about how to develop new vehicles. We also studied the construction, toy, and restaurant industries. Frank Frank Chen Steve:
