Thirty years ago, Stella Liebeck purchased hot coffee from a McDonald's restaurant, accidentally spilled it in her lap, and suffered third-degree burns. Liebeck sought to settle with McDonald's for $20,000 to cover her medical expenses. When McDonald's refused, Liebeck's attorney filed suit in the U.S., and the jury awarded her nearly three million dollars, though they eventually settled for $600,000. In response, McDonald’s reduced the coffee temperature from 90°C to around 70°C and added a warning on the lids. While these measures reduce lawsuit risks, they also result in lukewarm coffee and unnoticed warnings. For those who prefer hot coffee without the risk of burns, more inventive solutions were needed. Is it possible to actually use the coffee's high temperature to reduce the risk of burns? This is where we apply SIT's Qualitative Change condition, which requires turning a harmful element into a neutral or beneficial one. Smart lids offer a more elegant solution: a lid that changes colour based on the liquid's temperature. When the lid is introduced to a hot beverage with a high temperature, the lid turns red, clearly indicating the risk. The Qualitative Change condition can be applied in two ways: (1) Reversal means that as the harmful element intensifies, the undesired phenomenon decreases. (2) Elimination means the undesired phenomenon no longer depends on the harmful element. Smart lids use Reversal: the hotter the coffee, the more noticeable the warning, reducing the risk of burns. This condition introduces a surprising and elegant element to the solution. Properly implemented, the harmful factor becomes either irrelevant or helpful in solving the problem. Have you considered exploring the problem space rather than the solution space? This approach leads to inventive and simple solutions by altering the correlation between the harmful element and the undesired phenomenon. #QualitativeChange #InnovativeSolutions #ProductDesign #ProblemSolving #SIT #InventiveThinking https://lnkd.in/e_iuyHGj

Hello Friends! Over the past three years, I've had the incredible opportunity to work in the craft beer industry and the home brewing supply market in Sweden. During this journey, I founded Crooked Moon Brewing together with some great friends and learned invaluable lessons about running a business. I also consulted for Brewski, managing everything from shipping logistics to designing graphics for Brewskival in both 2022 and 2023. This included creating signs, posters, banners, festival bands, and designing 50-60 beer labels for Brewski. However, life took an unexpected turn. On February 2nd, we welcomed our second daughter, Sóley. Shortly afterwards, I was informed that due to changes in the home brewing market post-pandemic, my role was no longer needed. While I understood the decision, it was still a significant change. Fortunately, I was able to secure a part-time consulting role with Brewski over the summer, which helped support my family. As of September, I began my parental leave, partly because I hadn't secured another role after Brewskival, and my wife, (who has been a complete rock during these intense periods of dreaming and late nights), works in Denmark and is the primary earner, needed to return to work. The beer industry has faced challenges, and many passionate individuals have lost their livelihoods. While my preference is to stay in this industry, I'm open to opportunities outside of it as well, given my responsibility to my two daughters. I'm looking for a full-time or flexible part-time job, as I also manage some minor brewery operations, which occasionally require immediate attention. My parental leave ends in February, and I am actively seeking employment. While I don't have a formal university degree, I bring a wealth of self-taught knowledge in various media productions like music, video, graphic design, and illustrations. I excel at finding unique solutions and rethinking traditional methods. I'm particularly passionate about beer chemistry and always eager to deep into research and finding new products and solutions. I may not be the best fit for specialized role like a Japanese sushi knife, but I am versatile and adaptable, much more like a Swiss Army knife. If you or someone you know could use my skills and enthusiasm, please reach out to me via DM. Feel free to share this post, and if it makes you happy, clap your hands! Here is some (not all) of the work I've done over the years. https://lnkd.in/d5EwCPcw

Excise Duties Consultant at Alan Powell Associates; Founder and Co-ordinator of the British Distillers Alliance
Quote: "In the late 1990s, distillers crept back into the market. And, when smaller stills were once again permitted in 2009, it fuelled an explosion in artisanal activity." Wrong. HMCE/HMRC had no power to refuse a rectifier's licence on application and only had the discretion to refuse a distiller's licence where the largest still would be less than 18 hl. HMCE's policy had been to refuse such licence. Such an absolute restriction was unreasonable under public law principles, so I changed the law/policy in 1996 such that a credible application for a distiller's licence with a sound business plan would be given fair consideration by HMCE regardless of still size. A rectifier's licence (such as per the Sipsmith enduring myth) should have just been issued on application. After I left, HMCE staff apparently couldn't read the law or apply their own policy written in the internal manual (originally written by me in book X-1 - Spirits production). Shambles. #HMRC #licence #whisky #gin #excise
