Renfrew, UK on 11 October 2007 Workshop in Derby

TRIZ offers engineers tools for clarity of thought and a systematic process for creative and innovative thinking. TRIZ also helps you look beyond your own knowledge to the world's knowledge which for the first time is now readily available to all engineers and scientists. The TRIZ tools and methodology make it possible to find solutions to problems in a faster, smarter and more cost effective manner than traditional western methods. This hands-on workshop begins with a review of the TRIZ tools and the TRIZ processes for problem solving. It introduces simple techniques to improve clarity of thought and the ability to find innovative solutions to any problem.

TRIZ is the science of creativity derived from all scientific and engineering solutions. TRIZ is a problem solving toolkit; the principal TRIZ tools direct us to find all the ways of solving a problem, to find new concepts and the routes for developing new products. TRIZ has simple general lists of how to solve any problem; these TRIZ solution triggers are distilled from analysing all known engineering success. There are also tools for problem understanding, for system analysis and for understanding what we want. TRIZ offers systematic innovation; by learning TRIZ and following its rules we can accelerate creative problem solving for both individuals and project teams. Companies that successfully apply TRIZ are using the success and knowledge of the whole world, and are not dependent on the spontaneous and occasional creativity of individuals, or groups of engineers, within their organisation. TRIZ is not just powerful for technical problem solving but is also successfully used on a wide range of management issues.
