The approach I mean is to take a problem and to solve it from scratch. He didn't really use much of anybody else's idea's to make the Segway-HT.

Hardly from scratch. Kamen already had the core technology from his IBOT. The problem he was approaching was how to make a bundle of money with a really neat piece of engineering developed for a limited market product. He just applied that technology to a device for the mass market. Kamen hardly ignored past ideas. Nothing wrong with building off your earlier successes.
