To identify the right problem and solve it quickly, or to invent at the highest level of creativity, engineers need to leverage scientific and technical knowledge, often beyond their immediate personal experience or field of expertise. Engineers must be able to find appropriate concepts from among thousands of scientific effects and from tens of millions of articles, patents, and other sources of information.

This month's article is not a true TRIZ Feature article but goes to the Super-system of why we need TRIZ in all of our lives.
This article was written by Ashfaq Ishaq, Ph D, FRSA Executive Director, International Child Art Foundation.
Creativity is a quintessential attribute of human beings. When combined with our ability to record and benefit from accumulated knowledge, it makes us the highest-order species on the planet. Humans have not yet achieved our full creative potential, however, primarily because every child’s creativity is not properly nurtured. The critical role of imagination, discovery and creativity in a child’s education is only beginning to come to light, and even within the educational community, many still do not appreciate or realize its vital importance.

Product development is becoming more important even for service organizations across the world. The companies, especially from the low cost destination like India and China are playing an important role in realizing product faster. Technology companies, including start-ups, move portions of design and development to service companies across the globe. The expectation from these organizations is now to provide the services for identifying the suitable market segment, creating new features and in every phase in the product conceptualization.

I want to propose "Creative Risk Management Based on Reverse Thinking (CRMBRT)" as one of the Future- oriented Risk Management Techniques in this paper. I’ve developed this method (CRMBRT) by using examples from "Subversive Analysis (SA)" as the origin of "Anticipatory Failure Determination (AFD)" developed by Ideation Inc. AFD is one of the contemporary TRIZ techniques. Therefore, it is clear that CRMBRT is in the TRIZ field.
To be more precise, based on this way of subversive thinking, CRMBRT initially requires us to create a lot of "bad ideas" for bringing failures or accidents in the system into reality, with the utilization of not only inventive principles in TRIZ but also functional analysis in VE by involving the environmental resources around the society, so that CRMBRT can clarify the mechanism of "Dangerous Scenarios (DS)" about "Unknown Risks (UR)" in the near future.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development process of a new solar collector concept that allows achieving the performance of vacuum tube solar collectors but at the price of flat plate solar collectors. It is shown how the TRIZ methodology helped to solve technical and physical contradictions during the development process.

The process of designing technology products has to undergo changes in today’s high tech industry because of many external fluctuations, complexity of a global market and increased uncertainty. Changing customer requirements, fluctuating market trends and market segments, integrating several technologies, and linking with multiple industries to create a bigger consumer spectrum has made the traditional way of conceiving product features difficult.

Genrikh Saulovich Altshuller was born on October 15, 1926 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (formerly the USSR) to a family of journalists. A few years later, the family moved to Baku, Azerbaijan (USSR).
Altshuller was awarded his first author's certificate (the Soviet-era equivalent of a patent) for a diving gear when he was in the tenth grade. While in high school, he also built and tested a boat with a jet engine that used carbide as fuel.
