David O'Leary sent a heartfelt email last weekend:

 

Hello All,

Please share my sincerest gratitude for all the birthday cards, especially the personal messages.  I am quite touched.  40 cards so far.  Unfortunately, not a single check.  It more than offsets the abuse I've received over the last 40 years, but I won't name names - John Dale Smith, etc.

 

My involvement with this group has been a treasured connection for me, perhaps most importantly in these later years.  I value all of you.

 

Many thanks,

David O'Leary

Special music featured MSU Alumni Band - More than 75 Spartans have come together as one in the MSU Fight Song, “Victory for MSU,” and created a video from our own homes.

 

Thanks to our Chair of the Month, Terry Terry, who provided the introduction of David Barr, Management Consultant at CMP Services, LLC, a firm devoted to helping small and middle-market businesses (SMBs) grow top-line revenue (www.cmp-services.com ).

 

Mr. Barr spoke on “TRIZ: Russian Brainstorming Methodology".

 

Highlights include:

• In looking for innovation, oftentimes, we are waiting for a “creative flash” when we are brainstorming, but there needs to be a process and incremental improvements. It is otherwise dependent on who is around the table and is unpredictable.

• Systems can change if we reframe our methods and tools to something familiar.

• TRIZ (pronounced “trees”) introduces creativity as a science. It is based, in part, upon pattern repetition and other discoveries in Worldwide patents, History of Tech, Sociology and Economics

• Basic TRIZ Concepts: Ideality, Resources, Contradictions

 

Q & A included clarification on utilization of the methodology and how to be trained in it.

 

President Pingston shared that in lieu of a speaker’s gift, we will make a donation in Mr. Barr’s honor to a local organization through our Lansing Rotary Foundation which has, over the history of our club, given in excess of $2,000,000 to local organizations and projects.

 

NEXT WEEK: We will meet on Zoom at noon on October 30, our speaker will be Terry Terry, president of Message Makers.
