During last 20 years, TRIZ-based Systematic Innovation has penetrated all major industries. World leading companies such as Procter & Gamble, Renault, Unilever as well as a number of smaller companies use TRIZ to solve both long-term and short-term problems and generate new concepts of products and services. In 2004, Samsung named TRIZ "the best practice of innovation", after the use of TRIZ resulted in economic benefits of Euro 1.5 bln. Today, TRIZ is actively used to solve inventive problems and generate new intellectual property by such companies as Intel Corp., Matsushita, Procter & Gamble, Siemens.

Based on 50 years of scientific studies, TRIZ helps to drastically improve innovation process by offering tools and techniques for systematic situation analysis, problem solving and new ideas development by combining analytical approach, system thinking, knowledge bases of invention patterns, and creativity. A general overview of TRIZ for Technology and Engineering you can find in our white paper "Accelerate Innovation with TRIZ".

This intensive course, which is being recognized by many top organizations as one of the best in the world, targets at hands-on intensive learning of basic techniques and the process with TRIZ and Systematic Innovation. The course provides an overview of modern TRIZ in order to understand what TRIZ is and what value it can bring to individuals and organizations. The course introduces a unique approach of a systematic support for every step of a basic  process of problem solving: from problem analysis to solution ideas and concepts evaluation.

The course is split 50/50 between theory and practice. The participants are encouraged to bring their problems to the class to use their newly acquired skills to solve their problems. The course usually hosts international audience and is conducted in English.
