Genrich Altshuller

Genrich Altshuller was a Soviet scientist and engineer who developed the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, known as TRIZ. This methodology helps innovators systematically analyze problems and generate creative, effective solutions by identifying patterns in successful inventions. Altshuller studied thousands of patents to understand how inventive ideas are formed, leading to tools and principles that streamline innovation. His work aims to reduce trial-and-error and foster structured, innovative thinking, making it easier for engineers and designers to solve complex technical challenges efficiently.
