INTRODUCTION  

Did you ever wonder what TRIZ is? Can it be of use to you? How it can help you to boost your innovative capabilities and turn a seemingly chaotic, random and unpredictable process of innovation to a systematic, well-organized and repeatable process? And in general, will you or your organization benefit from using TRIZ? And if yes, then how?

This short evening course is intended to help you to understand the main paradigm of TRIZ, learn how it works, try its key principles yourself, and get professional answers to all your questions. During the course, we show how TRIZ can be used to boost systematic innovative thinking and help with new ideas development primarily in two areas: technology/engineering and business/management.
