Notes from the Executive Director

Good News!

The Coronavirus pandemic has affected nearly every aspect of society. With the introduction of multiple Covid-19 vaccines, governments are ramping up distribution to their citizens. Predictions indicate that people, who wish to be vaccinated, will be by the end of summer. This is good news for returning to a semblance of normalcy and the resumption of living with family and friends. 

To all of our members, friends and extended TRIZ family, I wish you all happiness, peace, health and wealth. I hope that 2021 will be a kinder and gentler year. May GOD protect you and yours!

As you can see we have some changes to the format of the AI Homepage. Please give me your feedback if it is easier to use. It will take awhile to get the entire site to be more functional and available. It will be a time consuming project, but I am convinced it will be worth the wait!

Below, we have an Spanish TRIZ Workshop for your review. There is a 10% discount for those who register right away. For more information, contact Prof. Noel Leon or visit their website, http://bit.ly/318REGIS.

Some very important TRIZ work is being done by Prof. Toru Nakagawa in Japan. For some time now, he has been lead a world wide effort to to provide a map of TRIZ organizations. This daunting task has been an effort of love and a driving force for Toru. His global thinking and desire to advance TRIZ needs to be recognized and supported by the entire TRIZ community.

 Powerful solutions grow on TRIZ !

Many household name Fortune 500 companies use TRIZ, but the methodology is far from a household name. TRIZ is a way of thinking, a set of tools, a methodology, a process, a theory or even possibly a deep science, which seems to be gradually shaping up as ‘the next big thing.’ TRIZ, pronounced ‘treez’, is an acronym for the Russian words that translate as ‘the theory of inventive problem solving.’

From its roots in patent analysis by Genrich Altshuller in the late 1940s, TRIZ has grown and is today an impressive and useful body of work that is now being applied by leading organizations in North America, Europe and Asia. Some of these companies include:

Allied Signal, Amoco, BAE Systems, Boeing Corporation, Brunswick-Life Fitness, Cabot Corporation, Chrysler, Daimler Chrysler, Dana, Delphi Corporation, Dow Chemical, Dura Automotive, Eastman Chemical, Ford, GM, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Honeywell, IBM, International Truck, Johnson & Johnson, LG Electronics, Lockheed Martin, Motorola, Kimberly-Clark, Kodak, McDonnell Douglas, NASA, National Semiconductor, Nortel, Otis Elevator, Panasonic, Parsons, Peugeot, Procter & Gamble (P&G), Samsung, Rockwell, Shell, Rohm and Haas, Rolls Royce, Teck Cominco, Toyota, TRW, UNISYS, United Technologies, Visteon, Xerox, and more.

Innovation and problem solving are generic skills and can be applied across many different domains; make someone more effective in one domain, and they will also be more effective in others. Knowledge of TRIZ will help to increase the productivity of everyone who has some training in and practices this powerful methodology.

TRIZ Works

Here are some factors that point to a belief in TRIZ as an effective and transformational methodology:

1. It is very general.
2. It is grounded in a reliable body of knowledge, the growing patent base.
3. The scenarios it generates bypass the psychological inertia of team members.
4. It can be used with other quality processes, removing roadblocks and speeding decision making.
5. It reduces the resources required to generate a solution set.
6. It is rapid in generating solution concepts, relative to other methods.
7. It can be taught, and applied, at any level of education, from school children to management consultants to PhD scientists.
