How to innovate in OR
$begingroup$
I am a graduate student in OR and I want to build one or two independent projects that go beyond academic projects in my university. I would like to target average people and/or those in the industry who may or may not use an existing app/software.
The obstacle is I feel that everything is already done. Whenever I pick a problem I find at least one application developed by a certain company that solves it.
My question is: how to innovate in OR i.e (a) how to identify new problems for which there is no existing apps or (b) how to create competitive products that add values by solving a problem that is already solved ?
Examples are welcome.
Edit : The problem is the difficulty to get demos to try to improve on existing apps which make (b) very difficult. Meanwhile, (a) needs a lot of creativity. So, any tricks ?

I'd argue that any OR application that you can find in the real world, even when you find a product for it, can still be improved. How? By answering this question: How realistic the underlying assumptions of that software are? Because the more generic a tool gets, there will be sacrifices by means of simplified assumptions.
For example, if you are creating a tool that solves variants of VRP, can your tool actually handles all sorts of VRP? Of course you can argue that you can bake in some conditions to check what type of VRP you are solving, and activate an appropriate algorithm accordingly, but still, you need to make some simplifying assumptions, one way or the other, to obtain your goal of having a generic tool that can be used by anyone with a routing problem.
There are many other metrics you can think about. Consider the VRP tool from above again. Is the benchmark software that you are comparing your hypothetical tool with, gives you the optimal solution? How long does it take for that software to get the answer? How user-friendly the software is? How long does it take to train a new user on that software? How can you load data (from what sources) and how can you see the outputs and reports? Is it compatible with other common tools? How much does that software cost? If you can improve even on one of these aspects (while keeping all the others at least the same), you can create a useful product.

Many times the problems people have are similar to, but not identical to, problems that have been solved. So previously employed techniques may still work, but either the model or the solution method may need to be "tweaked" to handle the current stakeholder's problem. In the context of optimization, this may mean adding new constraints and/or new variables, or it may go so far as to require new solution methods (such as moving from a single MIP model to some version of decomposition). In some cases, the stakeholder's problem may have been solved previously, but not at the scale the stakeholder requires. So, again, new solution methods (and possibly new models) may be needed.
If you are looking for a new "generic" category of problems to work with (the next "linear program" or the next "agent-based simulation"), that may be difficult. If you are looking for specific stakeholders who need help (and are not well served by "off the shelf" solutions), that's a bit easier.
