Systematic Innovation

With Systematic Innovation: An Introduction to TRIZ, readers learn how to stop seeing conflicts as insurmountable barriers and instead celebrate them as opportunities for improvement and refinement of the design process. The book introduces the key elements of TRIZ and the man behind the theory, Genrich Altschuller. It shows how creativity can be harnessed and controlled in a systematic process. The book includes an Innovative Situation Questionnaire to use in gathering and organizing information for problem solving, a contradiction table of 1201 analogous problems, and a glossary of terms that helps readers to master the language of TRIZ.

This exciting new book presents the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), a process that will provoke a breakthrough in your thinking patterns and the way you approach problem solving. The pillar of TRIZ is that contradiction can be methodically resolved through the application of innovative solutions.

The Three Premises of TRIZ
The ideal design is a goal
Contradictions help solve problems
The innovative process can be structured systematically

With Systematic Innovation you will learn how to stop seeing conflicts as insurmountable barriers and instead celebrate them as opportunities for improvement and refinement of the design process. You will learn how to eliminate the words "tradeoff" and "compromise" from your vocabulary. The ideal design will become an expectation, not just a dream. By practicing the methods presented in this book, you will increase innovation and radically improve design. Discover the "science" of creativity!
