[1] Greetings for the New Year 2021 (Toru Nakagawa)
For the Coming Spring -- Hoping ever lasting friendship with you !
<< See 2 photos attached >>
The World TRIZ-related Sites Project (WTSP) has built
the Beta Edition of the World WTSP Catalogs after the
efforts for these 3 years.
Conferences in last autumn were carried out online,
so we fortunately gave our WTSP presentations in
5 TRIZ-related conferences all over the world,
i.e., in Russia, USA, Romania, Taiwan, and Japan,
during about one month.
We are going to enhance the World WTSP Catalogs further this year.
In the period of serious global crisis triggered by
the Covid-19 pandemic, I am learning Darrell Mann's
recent papers and books giving us much insights.
I have started to introduce them in Japanese translation
and to publish them in near future.
I wish you, your family, and people in your country
good health, happiness, and good work in the new year !

[2] WTSP: Close site introduction: "TRIZ Power Tools"
（Larry Ball)
Larry Ball is the main author of the wonderful website
"TRIZ Power Tools", coded as TN2F-06 and evaluated as
Most Important ◎ in the World TRIZ-related Sites Catalogs.
On my request, he wrote introductions to his site in
the Standard format (b) and in Close free-format (c).
This page (in WTSP News 2020) records a full set, i.e.,
(a) Brief site introduction (TN, Sept. 2019),
(b) Standard Site Description,
(c) Close Site Introduction, and
(d) Our earlier communications (2003 - 2014),
(e) Our recent communications (Aug.-Dec., 2020)
The Site Introductions are also set in the World WTSP Catalogs (A1)(A1P)(B1)(B1P) etc.
Larry Ball's introduction (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."
<< I wish to post Site introductions like this contributed to the World WTSP Catalogs by site owners.>>
[3] Covid-19 Crisis and Possible Future:
Society, Business, Innovation, and TRIZ (Darrell Mann, Japanese translation Toru Nakagawa)
This page posts the presentation by Darrell Mann at TRIZCON2020, in its full form of the slides together with
the speech text transcript-ed later thoroughly by the presenter himself.
I also have translated the speech text into Japanese and am posting the presentation in the Japanese page of this site,
even though the slides are still in English.
The original title is "Mapping the Un-Mappable: The History Of TRIZ 2020-2030", but I dare to set a new title
besides the original one in order to clarify the author's intention, Darrell Mann wrote a paper, extending this presentation
slightly, and publicized it in the Oct. 2020 Issue of his e-Zine.
And I posted it already in English and in Japanese translation (Nov. 25 2020).
He describes that the serious global crisis triggered by the Covid-19 would continue to effect for 4-5 years and
discusses about the directions toward the TRIZ community should struggle in order to help genuine innovations.
In the presentation, he shows various models developed recently by a number of wise people besides himself as
the basis of his thoughts.
This is an important talk indeed showing his thoughts in the current stage of the global crisis period.
<< I am grateful to Altshuller Inst. and the Author for their generous permission of my posting this.
I wish to post excellent papers/articles written by international authors in this website "TRIZ
Home Page in Japan" (besides my own works). >>
Thanking you for your interest and cooperation,
Let's work Together ! Connected !!
Sincerely,
Toru
