Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members, 

  Toru Nakagawa (OGU, WTSP Project Leader)


[WTSP] Letter: World WTSP Catalogs; Modern Business TRIZ Tools


Hello, How are you, your family, and people in your country?          

I have updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" today in English.

       https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/

-----------------------------------------------

I have just finished a major revision/enhancement of the WTSP Catalogs of (C) Around-TRIZ Sites in the World.

   https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/

    I would like to report you on three articles since my last

    update message to you (Apr. 17).

[1] Current State of the WTSP World TRIZ-related Sites Catalogs

    The current state (on Jun. 15) is summarized in the Figure attached.

    Catalogs of Around-TRIZ Sites (C) are built in a pretty good shape, after my intensive surveys.

    Catalogs of TRIZ Sites(A), however, are in a state much to be done.

    I made surveys of TRIZ sites in 52 individual countries.

    In 40 (mostly minor) countries, 725 sites are detected and 146 of them are found at the level △ or higher.

    In 12 other(including major) countries, 485 sites are detected but not yet closely surveyed.

    We look forward to voluntary WTSP Team activities in UK, France, Italy, Germany, Korea, and Taiwan (among others).

[2] Paper in Japanese (Toru Nakagawa):

     From the "Four-Box Scheme of Abstraction" in Science and Technology to the "Six-Box Scheme" for Creative

     Problem Solving The Proceedings paper was presented at Japan Creativity Society (JCS) and posted in Japanese and in English in

     my website in Feb. 2022. I extended it into a full paper in Japanese and submitted

     to Journal of JCS. It is an overview of my work for these 25 years.

     But the Journal rejected it, saying no category of accepting an overview paper.

     So I have posted it in "TRIZ Home Page in Japan".

     It will take long for me to make its English version.

[3] Paper: "Modern Tools for Business TRIZ" by Valeri Souchkov (ICG T&C, The Netherlands)WTSP Catalog 2022.102

     This paper was presented at MATRIZ TRIZfest-2021, and has been posted in "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" both in

     English and in Japanese translation (by Nakagawa) under the Author's permission.

     This is an excellent overview paper on the extension of TRIZ to the field of Business and Management.

  As the result of his (and others') research and practices, he has shown a full system of Modern

  (Adapted and New) Tools of TRIZ applicable to understand and solve various problems in Business and Management.

  He has recently organized the International Business TRIZ Association (IBTA) and installed the tool system

  (most of which he developed in ICG T&C) as the course material of the IBTA training & certification.

     Reading this overview, you are invited to read further about the methods (or tools) for Business TRIZ through

     the References listed at the bottom.

    We sincerely hope your collaboration even under your busy job schedule.

 Best wishes.

Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members, 5 June,  2022,

  Toru Nakagawa (OGU, WTSP Project Leader)


[WTSP] Letter: (30M-1AB) WTSP World Catalogs of (C) Around-TRIZ Sites are enhanced, but (A) TRIZ Sites delay.


Hello, How are you, your family, and people in your country?          

I have updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" today in English.

       https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/

-----------------------------------------------

I updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" on Apr. 27, May 9, May 18, and Jun. 3 about our progress in WTSP and

    and posted its report in LinkedIn on May 10.

I have just finished a major revision/enhancement of the WTSP Catalogs of (C) Around-TRIZ Sites in the World.

   https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/

[1]  Five big cases of Internet surveys (posted in Jul.-Sept., 2019) have been fully revised.

    All the sites (nearly 1000 sites) were visited again to review the nature and contents of the sites, for improving

    the site description, revising the Roles of sites and Evaluation grades if necessary.

    TN3A2   Creative Think Methods     ◎  8 ○ 16 □ 50

    TN3B    Creative Problem Solving   ◎ 15 ○ 40 □ 50

    TN3C    Innovation Methods         ◎  8 ○ 37 □ 70

    TN3D    Quality/Value/Cost/..      ◎ 13 ○ 35 □ 73

    TN3E    Patent                     ◎  6 ○ 21 □ 34

[2]  The revised survey results are integrated into the revise World Indexes of Around-TRIZ Sites.  They are:

   (C1) World Around-TRIZ Sites Top Index (◎)    ◎ 30

   (C2) World Around-TRIZ Sites Basic Index (◎○)◎30 ○143

[3]  The sites at the □ level (Worthy in the World Catalogs) are shown in the WTSP Catalogs for the first time:

   (C3) World Around-TRIZ Sites Extended Index (□) □ 244

    All the WTSP Indexes (C1)(C2)(C3) have the table of sites, which belong to the specified Evaluation level and are

    arranged in the categories of their (main) Roles of sites.

    The Roles of site are:

       (a) Information sending sites

       (b) Promoter organizations

       (c) Public organizations

       (d) Academia

       (e) Developer organizations  (e5) Training organizations

       (f) Publishing organizations

       (g) Information sharing

       (h) User organizations

       (i) Personal

    In the WTSP Indexes (C1)(C2)(C3), by clicking the Site Code, descriptions of individual sites (stored in the original file

    of survey results) can be accessed interactively through hyperlinks.

    The WTSP Catalogs for Print (C1P)(C2P) contain the site descriptions together with the Index part.

    They can be downloaded in PDF, and may be stored, printed, and used interactively in user's PC just like in the WTSP website.

    All the usage may be done without registration nor charge, while the copyrights reserved by the WTSP Project.

    (C1P) and (C2P) are going to be revised in a few weeks.

    (C3P) will come out much later.

    Please enjoy using the WTSP Catalogs and feed us back your comments, suggestions, contributions, etc.

[4] Revisions and enhancement of WTSP Catalogs of (A) TRIZ Sites are highly desirable but very slow in progress.

    (4th Round) Surveys of TRIZ Sites in 52 individual countries were carried out by Nakagawa (May-Nov. 2021).

       About 250 sites (mostly △□)of 40 countries are selected and tabulated (in a preliminary draft).

       Survey data of about 450 sites from 12 countries (including main TRIZ players: UK, France, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, and

       Korea) are shown without close survey nor evaluation).

    It is much desired to form WTSP Teams especially in the countries of such main TRIZ players and to build Country WTSP Catalogs.

    And we also desire the site owners (i.e., TRIZ professionals/leaders) to describe their own excellent TRIZ sites and

    contribute them to the World WTSP Catalogs.

    We wish to build a much revised/enhanced (A) WTSP TRIZ Catalogs before ETRIA TFC2022 (Sept. 27-29).

    We sincerely hope your collaboration even under your busy job schedule.

 Best wishes.

   Toru
