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 over 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".

Main goal of this unique intensive 80-hour hands-on course is to learn and master skills with modern TRIZ and Systematic Innovation for Technology and Engineering in order to increase creative and innovative productivity and performance of organizations and individuals.

The course focuses on learning how to use the TRIZ paradigm and its techniques for identifying and solving problems arising in products and technologies and generation of new ideas and solutions. The course provides understanding of fundamentals of systematic innovative thinking and techniques of systematic innovation and puts them in practice.

The acquired skills help the course participants to resolve conflicting demands in a “win-win” way, maximize the use of resources, innovatively improve systems and processes, and invent new products and technologies. In addition to learning about philosophy, key concepts, process, techniques and tools, the participants acquire the basic practical skills of working with advanced TRIZ and Systematic Innovation techniques during the course, which help to extract root conflicts, resolve contradictions, identify and model system relationships, and apply the Trends of Technology Evolution to identify evolutionary potential of business systems and propose new innovative ideas.

The course contains different examples to better understand the nature of TRIZ and its thinking methodology and make it applicable to a large variety of problems, products, and technologies. The course introduces unique material developed by the author of the course and not available yet from any other sources apart from the parties with licenses from ICG T&C.

The course is focused on practice. During the class, the participants will work on real-life problems to gain realistic and practical experience with applying TRIZ process and basic tools in their everyday activities.

The course usually hosts international audience and is conducted in English.

Engineers, designers, technology and product managers, R&D professionals, business managers, new product development professionals, knowledge management professionals, technology consultants, lecturers.
