Abstract
An invariant is an observation that is widely applicable and holds over time. Finding invariants is important, particularly in an industrial setting, as they represent universal truths that can influence the design of new products and services, or improve the design of existing ones. This lecture will highlight some of the searches the speaker has conducted in the past 15 years, and describe how some of the results have been adopted in practice. The lecture will also explain some of the invariants for success in an industrial research lab.
