“There’s a way to do it better - find it”

Thomas Edison

Hans-Christoph Paul When speaking about innovation, one often thinks of great inventions. But innovation is also about being able to see through obstacles and to solve difficult challenges.Being able to do this requires a back-ground of skills, competences - and some luck.

CEO and founder of HCP innovation Hans-Christoph Paul has those skills along with a wide range of educational and practical experiences.*

Since 1994 Hans-Christoph Paul has lived in Denmark, working as a valu-able and innovative partner for sever-al companies in different areas of the Wind Turbine as well as the Oil and Gas Industry. Technical, Quality and Risk Manage-ment are important parts of his work. Trouble shooting, incident analysis and project management have also been major focus areas, essential for solving large scope projects. Since 1999 Hans-Christoph has also been working as a technical expert for Danish courts in various national and international cases.

Back in 1998 Hans-Christoph Paul founded HCP engineering. It became a fast growing company, working with-in mechanical engineering worldwide. Several “first of it’s kind” projects and IPR turned HCP engineering into a well known and highly respected engineer-ing supplier. Hans-Christoph Paul lead a well trained staff with quality, inno-vation and service as the main focus. HCP engineering solved very large and complex projects successfully and was well known for making things happen; to have the ability to make the impos-sible possible.

In 2012 Hans-Christoph Paul sold HCP engineering group.

These many years of practical experi-ence have now been channelled into the creation of an innovative company. In this company, independent R&D consultancy services work hand in hand with a strong focus on new pro-jects and technical consultancy servic-es at a high level.The brand name is HCP innovation and the innovative anchorman is Hans-Christoph Paul.

Technic

“It is simple to design difficult systems

- but difficult to design simple systems.”

Technic Feasibility studies and concepts.A feasibility study is not a repetition of existing knowledge and data. It should be an analysis of opportunities. Feasibility studies define the technical direction and technology of a project, and is the foundation of a project. A concept should be innovative and define the details and solutions of the project. Therefore, the knowhow of a project lies in the feasibility phase and the concept phase. The feasibility and concept phases are very important for the development of a successful project.HCP Innovation offers the competenc-es that ensure this!

Design Review:An important part of the project is the design review – a service offered by HCP innovation. Here the challenges are met and the problems are found – and solved. A design review de-mands thorough overview concerning design, manufacturing, maintenance and function. The quality of the design review depends on the participant’s experiences.

“Do not focus on the costs of a safe solution, but consider the

cost of one incident!”

Technic Risk analysisDo not focus on the costs of a safe solution, but consider the cost of one incident!

Risk management is an essential part of technical design, but risk manage-ment needs profound technical knowl-edge and experiences. FEMA or risk analysis is a vital part of the project during its development.

Risk analysis is a technical analysis, which also works as a technical tool for courts. For insurance companies, buyers, users and investors, technical risk analysis is very important in the process of looking at vital parts of a well founded project. HCP Innovation offers risk analysis based on many years of knowledge and experience.

Projects

“Innovation is creativity realised!To grow it you need both talent and

courage.”

ProjectsInnovation:Innovation is more than just being crea-tive. Innovation is to explore new paths through complicated problems and in order to discover innovative solutions, you must posess both talent and cour-age.

To be innovative indeed demands cour-age and stamina. Just consider the great discoveries and inventions of the past. Without the innovative trailblazers they would have never been realised, be-cause the idea that at first seems im-possible will often be dismissed and left in the dark.

And in the past, a lot of the proposed solutions seemed to be so unreal that they were dismissed as nonsense.

When the first automobile hit the roads, it frightened most people and was con-sidered both useless and lethal.

The Eiffel tower was, by public de-mand, supposed to be dismantled after the 1889 Worlds Fair. But today it is one of the worlds leading attractions.

All these great inventions have one thing in common: They would never have been realised, had it not been for an innovator focusing on the true objec-tive and had this person not been able to think beyond a sketch on a piece of paper. Because creating the feasible project that reaches into the future is the essence of the innovative engineers project- and design process.

The innovator thinks big and discover untrodden paths. It takes both structure and vision.Hans-Christoph Paul embodies these qualities. Here you will find the creative innovative ideas combined with struc-tured project management.

Project managementMany project managers just col-lect data and produce useless, uninspired Power Point presenta-tions. But couldn’t an efficient secretary do the same? As a client, you should demand more from the project manag-ers you work with. When work-ing with complex and demanding projects, the solutions are often found in the details. Finding a solution often starts with a tech-nical challenge or issue. A skilled project manager should know what the project is all about and he should understand the technique within the project and thereby be able to guide you. A skilled project manager should decide to be your innovative spar-ring partner.

The efficient process

“Every organisation would benefit greatly from efficient R&D. But like manufacturing,

R&D needs systems and control.“

Every organisation would benefit great-ly from a smoothly running R&D depart-ment. But even the best R&D program demands systems and control, much in the same way that manufacturing only reaches its goal by using systems and controls.These functions can be implemented using external capacities. Hans-Chris-toph Paul have both the competences and the established systems necessary for strengthening the R&D process, im-proving the output.

Engineers often engage in details. This is both their nature and their gift. Ad-ministrators tend to desire overview. This is not always a good combination when building demanding routines and structures.

If the task of building an efficient rou-tine for the R&D process should be a success, it demand both mind-sets. Hans-Christoph Paul has both the ex-perience of engaging in details and hav-ing to overview an entire organisation. This is a rare but very efficient quali-ty. The experience also cover building, structuring, heading and streamlining R&D departments.

Efficient engineering demands efficient processes and systems. The right pro-cess develops and matures the innova-tive solutions.

Where design and innovation are the focal points, structure is necessary to maintain the original goal. At this point HCP innovation helps keeping the focus by having a systematic approach on the creative solution process. HCP innova-tion believes that creativity is not like wildfires, but will be strengthened by being contained and focused.

Another important value of using the right structure and process is the es-sential sharing of knowledge. By imple-menting a system that encourage the sharing of knowledge, all team mem-bers will be able to access all relevant data, and this will ensure a smooth structured workflow. Even R&D depart-ments build up momentum that should never be jeopardized by lack of relevant information.

HCP innovation has the experience, the know-how and a complete set of tools necessary to develop, control, imple-ment and support:• Project flow Processes• Project flow Systems• Quality Processes• Quality Systems

The efficient process

IndiaStarting up new departments in for-eign countries is really hard work and it takes know-how and patience.Many technical companies have es-tablished partnerships with skilled In-dian engineers through the years.

Hans-Christoph Paul has worked with Indian companies since 1999. As managing director of HCP engineer-ing, Hans-Christoph Paul developed a partnership with a selected indi-an company from 2002 up until 2008 where HCP engineering established a subsidiary in Bangalore, India.Hans-Christoph Paul has, through nu-merous stays in India, built a large and competent network. In addition he has developed and implemented methods and principles for working with Indi-an engineers. Systems and processes that can cross cultural barriers. A sys-tem that can ensure a focused devel-opment process for the work carried out in India.

Concerning outsourcing to India, HCP innovation can offer:• Solving specific tasks• Administration of companies and de-

partments• Assistance in setting up department

in India

OFFICE MASTEROfficeMaster from HCP innovation is an administrative tool, implementing and maintaining structure in an R&D company. It has been created using the proven systems and guidelines devel-oped by Hans-Christoph Paul through his extensive work as both innovative engineer and administrator, stream-lining the creative process in an R&D company.

For the R&D company or department it is important to single out deficiencies that could result in projects that do not reach deadlines or appointed goals.The skilled engineer performing techni-cal calculations and analyses may not be considering timeframes, goals and financial implications when developing a new project. On the other hand, the R&D company’s administration may not be considering the importance of calculating according to standards and regulations when settling for size and make-up of bolts and nuts, or perform-ing FEM calculations and risk-analysis of new concepts. OfficeMaster from HCP innovation makes the two worlds meet within the R&D company.

Sharing of knowledgeWith OFFICE MASTER, a project can be separateted in work categories, sub projects, participants can be defined, and the application also shows the de-livery from each participant. Knowing the individual engineers capability is the first step for strong individual lead-ership and project management. It is not always easy to share experi-ences, knowledge and contacts. But for a project and an R&D department it is essential to share knowl-edge. Only the sharing of knowledge develops the individuals in a team. But often the “knowledge owner” doesn’t know who needs the information, and the person searching for knowledge doesn’t know who has the infor-mation. Efficient sharing de-mands a system to en-sure that the right data is collected systematical-ly, sorted and indexed to make it searchable. All these demands are met in OFFICE MASTER – the innovative software from HCP innovation.
