COURSE OUTLINE |
This unique two-day intensive hands-on course provides
immersion to developing systematic innovative thinking
skills with TRIZ.
Originally TRIZ was developed to provide a systematic
background for creating technological inventions. It was
based on the groundbreaking research by Russian inventor
Genrich Altshuller who greatly contributed to understanding
thinking processes behind the search for creative solutions.
Many of us know that TRIZ is successfully applied to solve
technology problems. But not everyone knows that modern TRIZ
is not limited to technology and engineering. Its paradigm
and several techniques can be used to attack virtually any
type of creative challenges and problems which consist of
what we call "conflicts" and "contradictions".
Developing our problem-solving skills with TRIZ helps us
to search for new breakthrough creative solutions which:
- bring us as close as possible to the most desirable
result;
- provide "win-win" situation;
- provide the highest ratio "benefits/costs";
- do not create negative side effects;
- sometimes even produce extra benefits.
The course provides understanding of fundamental
principles of systematic creative thinking and explains the
TRIZ approach to problem solving and creative ideas
generation. It also explains how to put these principles to
practice. The course is well suited for learning how to
solve non-ordinary problems which require "out of the box"
solutions as well as how to produce new ideas that resolve
conflicts in a win-win way.
In addition, throughout the entire course the participants
learn several TRIZ techniques and patterns of creative
solutions. Practical exercises use real-world problems,
often brought to the course by the participants.
The course is based upon a practical framework developed
by ICG T&C during many years of practice. This framework
extends classical TRIZ and puts it to the practical use well
beyond technology. During the course we work with a broad
diversity of problems and examples.
The course usually hosts international audience and is
conducted in English.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will get a
Certificate of Accomplishment from ICG Training & Consulting
and International TRIZ Training Centre.
