Welcome Back!
The ability to interact with ASME instructors who bring real world experience, examples, and best practices to life in our learning experiences is a major reason learners choose face to face training. Networking with peers is also a valuable part of the time spent together during a course. We are excited to start offering these important courses again in person.
November Session: This course will be held in conjunction with ASME Boiler Code Week in Orlando, FL at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace. Please navigate to this page for travel and hotel accommodations.

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 through the use of patterns of invention documented in the most inventive of the world’s 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.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Identify patterns of invention and describe how to use breakthrough ideas from parallel universe technology areas
- Explain the basic TRIZ problem solving algorithm and its basic tools including Ideal Final Result, resource identification and use, contradiction resolution, 40 inventive principles and the TRIZ contradiction table
- Employ TRIZ for failure prediction and analysis
- Explain how to use TRIZ for business and organizational problem solving
- Describe TRIZ Lines of Evolution and how to use them for strategic planning, new product development, and forecasting
- Explain how to integrate TRIZ with other enterprise tools and assessments
- Integrate TRIZ effectively within your organization
Who Should Attend
Engineers, scientists, and technical managers focused on breakthrough innovation and problem solving. Professionals interested in adding a breakthrough problem solving tool to problem definition processes such as Six Sigma and DFSS. Innovation managers interested in improving the quality of inventions and intellectual property.
