TRIZ Workshop

TRIZ 2-day Workshop :

Early-bird Discount offered for Enrollment Before 17/2/2012


(Course code: TRIZ(01)) (Office-hour Class)

Course Overview:

TRIZ has been applied by many successful Fortune 500 companies including Siemens, General Electric, P&G, Samsung, etc. Companies in Hong Kong such as CLP, CAD of HK government are using TRIZ to create innovative ideas.

“TRIZ” is the (Russian) acronym for the ”Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.” G.S. Altshuller and his colleagues in the former USSR developed the method between 1946 and 1985. TRIZ is an international science of creativity that relies on the study of the patterns of problems and solutions, not on the spontaneous and intuitive creativity of individuals or groups. More than three million patents have been analyzed to discover the patterns that predict breakthrough solutions to problems, and these have been codified within TRIZ.

TRIZ is a problem solving methodology based on logic, data and research, not intuition. It draws on the past knowledge and ingenuity of many thousands of engineers to accelerate the project team’s ability to solve problems creatively.

As such, TRIZ brings repeatability, predictability, and reliability to the problem-solving process with its structured and algorithmic approach.

This 2-day course content is equivalent to the MATRIZ L1 which can lead the participants to L1 qualification.”
