About TRIZ 1
TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving), is a systematic methodology for solving complex problems and fostering innovation. TRIZ is based on the principle that the development of engineering systems can follow predictable patterns rather than relying solely on random inspiration or individual genius.
One of the primary strengths of TRIZ is its structured approach to problem-solving. Unlike traditional methods, TRIZ employs a comprehensive set of tools and principles that guide users through a logical process, ensuring that innovation is not left to chance but is the result of deliberate and strategic planning.
State-of-the-art TRIZ is not confined to solving immediate technical problems but extends to strategic planning and long-term development. It integrates business and technical perspectives, allowing companies to align their innovation strategies with their business goals. This integration ensures that the innovations developed are not only technically feasible but also commercially viable.
The method is increasingly being successfully applied by 50% of the world’s most valuable brands to develop new products, improve existing technologies, optimize manufacturing processes, foresee future trends, etc. The effectiveness of TRIZ in technical fields has led to the method evolving to encompass aspects of business strategy, marketing, and organizational development. This integration ensures consistency in innovation across both the technical and business aspects of a company, making it a versatile tool for holistic development.
