Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members
Dec. 24, 2020 Toru Nakagawa (OGU, WTSP Project Leader)
Hello, how are you, your family, and people in your country?
We are very much worrying about the COVID-19 Pandemic,
whose 3rd wave is severer than the former waves in the world.
We pray for safety and peace for all the people in the world.

The Site Introductions are also set in the World WTSP Catalogs (A1)(A1P)(B1)(B1P) etc.
Larry Ball's introduction in (b) is shown here while skipping some sentences (...):
"This is a system of eBooks authored principally by Larry Ball with help from the rest of the coauthors. ...
Immediately on entering the website, there are 4 short videos which include:
[... How to navigate the eBooks by combining inventing Skills
to accomplish inventive Jobs. ... How to use the eBooks
to create your own innovation processes].
Larry was introduced to TRIZ by reading "TRIZ as an Exact Science" by G. Altshuller in 1989.
Following that, he studied, used, and taught TRIZ and invention algorithms for many years, while continuing to read
more TRIZ books and articles. ...
The present eBooks "TRIZ Power Tools" were posted in May 2018, after much revisions. The contents are mainly based on TRIZ
but reflects other methods including Design Thinking, Disruptive Innovations and Marketing, Blue Ocean Strategy,
Theory of Constraints, and One Simple Idea.
He believes that the best way to learn TRIZ deeply is to create your own product design and inventing algorithms
after your own understanding, according to modern learning theory. ...
While written in English, each of the eBooks can be translated
automatically into (practically) any language with the Google translator without waiting.
The contents are composed of two big groups.
(A) Inventive Jobs (e.g., Discovering markets, Creating offerings (products/services), Designing and prototyping,
Reducing offering burdens, Resolving problems, Selling of licensing your offering) and
(B) Inventive Skills (e.g., Resolving contradictions, Working with functions, Idealizing useful functions,
Idealizing informing functions, Idealizing harmful functions, Discovering cause, Discovering why targeted
objects are required, Mobilizing function resources, Neutralizing harmful functions).
These jobs and skills are to be used in various ways of appropriate combinations, as guided by the eBook navigation."
This is an excellent example of a close introduction of the unique and thoughtful ◎ site, with emphasis on his
philosophy in studying and applying TRIZ.
I appreciate much his dedication on his publicly open website and his contribution to the WTSP Catalogs.
The introductions (b) and (c) were contributed last August and I am sorry for my delay in posting this page due to
some miscommunications on my side.
I wish many of you in TRIZ community, would contribute close introductions of your websites to the WTSP Catalogs.
Season's Greeting to all of you, your family, and people
in the world, especially in this severe pandemic period.
Thanking you for your interest and cooperation,
Let's work Together ! Connected !!
Sincerely,
Toru
