It’s funny that sometimes it takes a stranger’s viewpoint to help you see something with clarity. For example, the core of what we do at Davison revolves around our Inventegration® process. When we invent for ourselves, innovate for corporations and design for our clients, we use Inventegration. It’s what lowers the cost of inventing by putting designers, researchers, engineers, builders, graphic artists and more under one roof. Since 1989, Inventegration has been the basis of our business. I guess you can say it’s our “product.”

Recently I was interviewed by a technology reporter. Our short phone call about one aspect of our business led down the rabbit hole into many different directions. When we touched on Inventegration, he asked to know more. As we opened this discussion, he said something interesting. He called our economical inventing process an “enabling technology.” This was interesting for me, to hear something I spent 18 years of sweat and tears to develop called “enabling,” because that’s exactly what it does.

Inventegration is designed to make inventing and new product development affordable through the integration of a budding idea into a corporation’s business model. It enables anyone to invent by reducing production costs by the tens of thousands. When someone would once pay $200,000 to develop two products to show to buyers, now they can do 20 for that price through Invetegration. That allows corporations to show buyers more. It enables inventors in the same way. An entrepreneur or inventor can take an idea from concept to working prototype at a manageable cost. From there, we can attempt and license the product to a company or they can take it to the market themselves.

It may have taken 18 years to invent and perfect, but it was worth it. It’s our contribution and how we want to be remembered by future generations.
