Why do you need TRIZ?
Solving a problem has two parts.
Defining the problem correctly and creating the right solution.Â
Most so-called problem-solving tools just help you identify the cause of the problem, but they do not help much with the second step, that is, prescribing a solution.
Like a doctor that tells you what is wrong with you but does not say how you can be cured.
What is TRIZ?
TRIZ stands for what translates to the
Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.
It is a method for solving problems based on research that found patterns of thought from hundreds of thousands of patents.
Who is using TRIZ?
TRIZ is used by several large global companies in different industries.
Though TRIZ started with technical systems, it is now applied to management systems in all business functions.Â
What will you learn from this course?
You will learn to diagnose problems AND come up with solutions.
Sure, you may already be using some problem definition tools, but TRIZ will radically strengthen your problem definition skills.
TRIZ shows how the roots of problems are connected to things that are good.
Like how medicines cure but have side effects.
TRIZ will give you a different point of view which makes it easier to define problems AND prevent future problems .Â
What else?
Other methods stop after helping you define the problem,
You are left on your own to take things forward towards finding a solution..
This course will teach you the 40 most common principles used by inventors to solve a wide range of problems.
These principles work with products, services, and business process.
The principles have been successfully applied to technical and non-technical problems.
What will you gain?
Having TRIZ in your toolbox will greatly enhance your capability to solve problems quickly in inventive ways.
Your solutions will stand out and will make strong business sense because they do not follow the typical way of solving problems.
Instead, you will be using the method of successful inventors.
What is different?
Simplicity
Powerful lessons should be straightforward.
As a highly rated teacher of MBA subjects,
I know that training effectiveness is not measured by the length of the lectures or the thickness of the reading materials. It is determined by the impact on the professional lives of students.
Single-mindedness
The connection of the technical aspects to business must be clear. Being a senior executive, I know that technical aspects are important. But they are not independent.
They exist to help the business fulfill its mission. Many teachers of technical subjects focus solely on the technical side. Unlike them, I inject business insights into my lessons.Â
Synergy
Nobody can build a house with just a hammer. As an engineer, I know that different tools are needed to build or fix things.
I will share lessons from other disciplines like Lean and Six Sigma that work with TRIZ.
