Stop learning to innovate through trial and error

Learn TRIZ, a methodology developed by Genrick Altshuller for solving problems more efficiently and intuitively.

From Strategy to Real Business Impact

Victor Fey, John Cooke

The task of turning business objectives into successful new products is one of the biggest challenges facing any manufacturing company. The innovation process behind this transformation involves several key steps: identification of high-potential opportunities, conversion of these opportunities into functional product requirements, concept generation, selection and implementation. TRIZ can effectively support and boost each of these activities. A systematic application of various TRIZ tools (as well as some other productivity-enhancement methods) to product innovation is illustrated by a story of the development of FlaviaTM – a unique and breakthrough coffee-brewing system that delivers coffee shop quality across a complete cafe menu.
