"The course was an eye opener. I believe that we can truly reinforce innovation process due to understanding a systematic background of inventing new products and technologies"
Innovation Director, Merck Serono
 
WHY TRIZ AND SYSTEMATIC INNOVATION?

During last 20 years, TRIZ-based Systematic Innovation has been adapted practically by all major industries. Many world leading companies such as Bombardier, General Electric, Hyundai, Procter & Gamble, Renault, Unilever and many others - both large and small - use TRIZ to solve both short-term and long-term problems, generate innovative solutions, develop future solution strategies of their products and technologies. 

Samsung Electronics named TRIZ "the best practice of innovation" after the use of TRIZ resulted in economic benefits of Euro 2 billion. At Intel Corporation, TRIZ is recognized as "Innovation Platform of the 21st century". General Electric introduces TRIZ in its companies across the world to enhance innovation and R&D.

Today, TRIZ has a proven track record in every industry dealing with innovative technology and engineering in the areas of manufacturing, innovative product improvement and new product development.

Major benefits from using TRIZ are: rapid acceleration of finding new innovative solutions, understanding innovation, solving inventive problems on demand,  enhancing personal innovative thinking skills, turning innovation chaos to a systematic and manageable process.

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. An overview of modern TRIZ for Technology and Engineering you can find in our white paper "Accelerate Innovation with TRIZ".
