TRIZ-based Problem Solving and Concept Generation in Technology and Engineering: Basic and Advanced Training

 
What do our TRIZ courses offer?

We offer "in-house" training courses for organizations and certification in the TRIZ-based Problem Solving and Knowledge-Based Innovation. During the courses, participants learn basic and advanced TRIZ techniques using the hands-on approach. Application of each TRIZ technique is explained with a number of real case studies.

Why do you need TRIZ?

In the modern world, ability to solve non-trivial problems and quickly generate new inventive and innovative concepts becomes crucial to achieve a competitive advantage. Development of new products and technologies should be quick, painless and cost-effective.

Usually, it takes many efforts to generate a feasible concept for a new product or to find out what and how has to be changed in the existing product. Can this situation be improved?

The revolutionary Altshuller's Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is a highly practical, knowledge-based methodology which organizes innovative problem solving in a structured way.  Developed on the basis of 40 years of patent studies by hundreds of researchers, TRIZ offers a unique collection of basic inventive principles, which can be used by every professional designer, engineer and manager involved into the new products development. 

TRIZ accelerates the innovative process by providing a specialist with tools for building correct problem formulations, basic principles for solving inventive problems, generic patterns of inventive solutions, and scientifically founded theory of system evolution.

Many leading European, Japanese, and US corporations recognized the power of TRIZ and have been using it to design breakthrough products and achieve technological leadership. Among them are Ford Motor Company, IBM, Mitsubishi, Motorola, NASA, Siemens, Toyota, and Xerox Corporation, to name a few.

Goals of the courses

  • During the courses, the participants acquire basic knowledge and skills necessary to solve problems with TRIZ.
  • After completing the course, the participants will be able to incorporate the basic TRIZ techniques into everyday use. 
  • Frequently, the participants find solutions to their problems during the course that immediately compensate the course costs.
