Game Changing Ideas

  Topic Analysis             Throughout the history of mankind inventions have been a way for us as humans to evolve and make things better, easier to perform, and provide just general innovation for a particular reasoning of advancement. While this is what researchers and inventors look forward to happening with their inventions sometimes the things they end up creating are by accident, but end up to become key inventions in the history of mankind. There are countless inventions that come to mind that happened out of accident that we use everyday such as sticky notes and penicillin, but there are so many different inventions that also fall under this umbrella that can be considered.             One of those inventions that came by accident was the creation of the cardiac pacemaker. The pacemaker was created by the inventor, John Hopps, back in 1941. Though the pacemaker en...

Group Decision Making

  Research group decision-making methods. Start with the Delphi technique.             While performing research is thought of generally as an individual based task this is not always the case as there are many different occurrences where the group setting is best to be used, especially for larger experiments. Like with any group setting there will come a time where decisions will need to be made by the group and this is where different forms of group decision-making can come into play. One of the more popular group decision-making methods is the use of the Delphi technique to come to a consensus among the group members. What this technique consists of is all the ideas of the group being condensed into smaller groups for different approaches and delivered to the group leader and from there these smaller options are taken back to the larger group to discuss and this process is repeated until the choices have been condensed to the point where a majo...

First Post

 Hello everyone one and welcome to my blog. My name is Jeremy Whitehurst and this is my first blog that I have ever created. I am currently a student at Colorado Technical University pursuing my doctoral degree in computer science. My focus for my doctoral degree will be primarily on that of artificial intelligence and its innovation in the insurance industry, hence the title of my blog. The creation of this blog is inspired by my futuring and innovation course at CTU that I am currently taking. While I am not completely sure of how this blog will go in the long run I think the idea will be about an interest in innovation and how it can be applied to a field that is starting to see in this artificial intelligence become more prominent. I hope those that see this blog take interest and go on this journey through the innovation of artificial intelligence in the insurance industry.
