WIP: The Lean Canvas for Invention (LCI): An Integrated Framework for Research Development, Matrix Mentoring, and Career Development Training

This research-to-practice WIP paper describes a novel framework for research development in a graduate course that integrates career preparation and mentoring. The Lean Canvas for Invention (LCI) framework aims to help students identify a research problem through exploration of scientific, patent, and business literature, as well as stakeholder interviews. The stakeholder interviews and synchronous class interactions provide career and early mentor/network development. The 15-week variable credit (0.5-3) course is designed for first-year graduate students.

Abstract

This research-to-practice WIP paper describes a novel framework for research development in a graduate course that integrates career preparation and mentoring. The Lean Canvas for Invention (LCI) framework aims to help students identify a research problem through exploration of scientific, patent, and business literature, as well as stakeholder interviews. The stakeholder interviews and synchronous class interactions provide career and early mentor/network development. The 15-week variable credit (0.5-3) course is designed for first-year graduate students.
