ADVANCED TRIZ & SYSTEMATIC INNOVATION

This advanced training course is based on many years of experience with performing TRIZ training and consulting projects within diverse industries. It provides learning and mastering practical skills with advanced TRIZ techniques which are usually not learned during introductory and basic TRIZ training courses, and which help with solving most difficult problems and further innovative improvement of selected products and technologies.

The course is intended for those who want to learn TRIZ at the advanced level and incorporate its techniques to everyday use. The course is designed in a such a way that its material can be learned by both TRIZ beginners and those who already took some preliminary basic training in TRIZ and want to broaden and deepen their knowledge and master skills with advanced TRIZ techniques. The course program also offers some unique techniques which are currently not yet available from other TRIZ vendors, such as Root Conflict Analysis technique (RCA+). To get most out of the course, for those who did not have a chance to learn basic TRIZ yet, we provide a set of basic introductory video training materials before the course dates.

The course explains in detail how different tools in TRIZ are connected, a system of 76 Inventive Standards and Substance-Field Modeling, the TRIZ Trends of Technology Evolution and their link with Inventive Standards, and Algorithm of Solving Inventive Problems (ARIZ) in combination with Root Conflict Analysis (RCA+). The course includes intensive practical work with both educational problems as well as problems brought by the participants.

The course is highly interactive. It is conducted in English and in most cases involves international audience from different countries.
