October Course Schedule: Monday – Thursday, October 12-15, 2020, commencing at 10:30 am Eastern to 5:30 pm Eastern, with scheduled breaks throughout.

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.

Each participant will receive a complete set of course notes, a copy of the TRIZ 40 Inventive Principles, and a copy of all course problems and solutions.

You Will Learn To:

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
Explain how to use 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
Describe how to 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.
