DESCRIPTION:
Most recently McKesson has turned his hand to the study of innovation in general, and to serving the next generation of naval architects by teaching ship design at the University of New Orleans. Chris McKesson is a naval architect with thirty years of contribution to unconventional projects and programs. Whereas in early days “unconventional proje
The emergence of an innovative weapon creates an asymmetric battlefield. This approach is viewed by some people as anti-innovative. It will then describe those human attributes which have been found to be essential to successful innovation. But the process of ship design is usually one of incremental development and slow evolution. Some of those tools are used unconsciously. Some of those tools are formal products supported by research institutes and teaching academies. Finally, given the fact that innovation in ship design is a component of engineering – which is a subject taught in Universities – and that it is facilitated by the use of tools – and tool use can be taught – the author will conclude that innov
Whereas in early days “unconventional projects” tended to mean an emphasis on speed, in recent years it has included unconventional propulsion systems, or an ‘unconventional’ emphasis on environmental stewardship, or an unconventional approach to the ontology of maritime systems. .

Robert Galway said AWESOME! This book provided wisdom and organized thought about. AWESOME! This book provided wisdom and organized thought about key engineering topics such as innovation, problem solving design and creative thought as applied to the Naval Architecture/Marine Engineering disciplines in a easily read format. It is very relevant to anyone. Charles Douglas Van Patten said Two Stars. The print is too small for me to be read it without a strong magnifying glass
