What is TRIZ?

And how can it create structured innovation?

TRIZ is a revolutionary problem-solving method that has helped some of the largest companies solve what were once thought to be “impossible” design challenges. Despite its unusual name Fortune 500 companies have discovered the time saving and powerful structured methodology that TRIZ provides by helping them create breakthroughs and making them more competitive.

Trial-and-error methods are tedious and time-wasting. Brainstorming doesn’t always work. When Six Sigma, LEAN, and other popular problem-solving methods fail, and this particular problem still has you stumped. Then someone whispers that a competitor has worked out the solution using …TRIZ.

Even the name is odd — TRIZ (pronounced “trees”) is a Russian acronym that translates as “the theory of inventive problem solving.” But Fortune 500 companies such Ford, 3M, Procter & Gamble, Cummins, Boeing, Daimler Chrysler, LG Electronics, Motorola, Siemens and Samsung, swear by TRIZ for solving complex technical and organizational problems. Even device makers are discovering TRIZ to solve their knottiest challenges … the ones that make engineers grit their teeth and mutter, “This is impossible!”

PIVOT MC offers TRIZ workshops:

By learning to use TRIZ method for problem-solving, you will discover:

  • Solution patterns that predict breakthroughs to the toughest problems
  • Identify where TRIZ will be most effective, then benchmark results
  • How to scale up from lab prototypes to full commercialization and production
  • Why logic and data trump intuition in solving engineering and invention challenges
  • Speedier test methods

…and much more

Praise for PIVOT's TRIZ Workshops

"One of the primary premises of TRIZ is based on how an individual can eliminate or reduce trials and errors in the thinking process so that inventors can reach strong solutions without having to sift through long lists of solutions. This is achieved by reducing development times, but not compromising on the quality of solutions when faced with atypical problems. You will learn and use the TRIZ tools for eliminating contradictions, and learn how to solve problems creatively using the resources that are already available for fast, economical progress."
