TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving)

TRIZ, or the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, is a systematic approach to innovation developed in the Soviet Union by Genrich Altshuller. It analyzes patterns in inventive solutions across various fields to help solve complex problems. TRIZ identifies root causes of contradictions—situations where improving one aspect negatively affects another—and offers 40 innovative principles to overcome these challenges. By leveraging past inventions and these principles, individuals and organizations can enhance creativity and efficiency in their problem-solving processes, fostering more effective and inventive solutions.
