RATIONALE

TRIZ is the Russian acronym for the “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving”. It is a systematic problem solving method based on logic and data, not intuition or spontaneous creativity of individuals or groups. Developed by Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues from 1946 through to 1985 in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). It is based on the study of patterns of problems and solutions. TRIZ provides repeatability, predictability, and reliability due to its structure and algorithmic approach. It improves an individual’s or team’s ability to solve problems.

OBJECTIVES

At the end of the programme, participants should be able to:

• Identify problems and solutions repeated across industries & sciences – ‘40 Inventive Principles for solving Problems’
• Identify patterns of technical evolution repeated across industries & sciences – ‘Technology Trends to evolve a technical system to the next generation’
• Innovate using scientific effects outside the field from where the original problem was found – ‘Scientific Effects can be used to solve problems in unique ways’
