Engineers and engineering companies alike are constantly striving to accomplish transformative achievements. Producing more than just incremental changes requires a combination of skills, methods, and practical approaches to both innovation and strategy.

Innovation can be approached in many ways, including through the use and practice of TRIZ, which documents patterns of invention from some of the most inventive patents of the world. Strategic thinking can be accomplished with a combination of standard tools and innovative approaches.

Together, these two courses are an exclusive learning path that demystifies the approach to strategic thinking and innovation by providing a wide range of practical tools, in-demand skills, and concrete methods to help you identify, prioritize, and realize engineering breakthroughs more effectively and efficiently.

This official ASME learning path consists of two courses:

Course 1: TRIZ: The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving - This course provides a basic introduction to the Inventive Problem Solving Process known as TRIZ (Russian acronym for Theory of Inventive Problem Solving). TRIZ is a structured, left-brained approach to breakthrough innovation that utilizes patterns documented in the world's most inventive patents. This analysis demonstrates an overall algorithm, which when followed, allows anyone to provide breakthrough and novel solutions to problems as well as new product and business concepts.

Schedule: This is a three-day course that runs from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern, each day wtth breaks scheduled throughout.

Course 2: Strategic Thinking - In this course you will be presented with both standard tools (e.g., SWOT) and innovative approaches to develop your strategic mindset. You will learn how to discern fallacious reasoning traps as well as ways to counter them. In addition, you will practice using a powerful model to construct and deliver a winning argument.

Schedule: This is a one-day course that runs from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern, each day with breaks scheduled throughout.

Please visit the individual course product pages for detailed information.
