   Dr. Frank Chen is a co-founder of Structured Analogy Consultants LLC. He was formerly a Principal Researcher with General Motors. For most of his thirty years at GM, he managed and conducted engineering research until the year 2000 when he went through a personal transformation from a technical researcher to an innovation methodology researcher. In a series of projects, he initiated the research on applying analogical reasoning methods to business process innovation that resulted in the development of a new structured analogical analysis methodology. In the past seven years, Frank has conducted various analogy workshops that range in size from a single individual executive to cross-functional teams of 30-40 managers of various levels. His work has led to the rethinking of vehicle development processes and the adoption of several ideas. Frank was born in China and grew up in Hong Kong. He has earned BS, MS and Ph.D. degrees in the United States from Lafayette College and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
