Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members
Hello, How are you, your family, and the people in your country?
I have updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" on Nov. 9 and yesterday:
https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/
My Website "TRIZ Home in Japan" celebrated its 25th Anniversary on Nov. 1.
It serves as an open forum for information exchange for better understanding and usage of Creative Problem Solving Methodologies.
I am very grateful to you all, including authors, co-authors, translators, and readers in Japan and around the world, for
your continuing support.
[1] On the 25th Anniversary of "TRIZ Home Page in Japan"
... The WTSP Project for creating Catalogs of TRIZ-related Websites in the World has been carried out for nearly 6 years.
We presented our WTSP Reports last September at the Japan TRIZ Symposium and at ETRIA TFC.
In the English pages, I have posted the full paper and presentation video (15 slides, 11 minutes).
Last year I finished the WTSP World Catalog of Around-TRIZ Websites.
However, the World Catalogs of TRIZ Websites are still insufficient due to the lack of contributions from many countries.
Many TRIZ people support the WTSP project, but very few of them actually work to build the Catalogs.
Many of them say "too busy to do the voluntary work for WTSP".
The key to overcoming this difficulty must be the recognition of the possible Values of the WTSP Catalogs.
The World WTSP Catalogs are valuable for TRIZ experts to show their excellent websites and to overview the progress
and activities of TRIZ in the world.
All such Values can be created only by the collaboration of TRIZ leaders and colleagues around the world.
The Catalogs, in fact, are much more valuable for numerous TRIZ learners and users in the world.
We will make the World WTSP Catalogs more "Useful and Attractive", step by step.
Last June I posted a Forum page "On Earthquake Prediction Research and Disaster Mitigation".
Since this is a crucial issue in Japan, I have started to support a research project for earthquake prediction.
