WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

For everyone who wants to master new tools for generating creative ideas and solutions, expand the horizons of creative imagination, and develop the skills of innovative thinking: from students to managers, from engineers and teachers to artists, screenwriters, writers.

WHAT SKILLS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE COURSE WILL ACQUIRED

• Master an approach to the development of systematic creative imagination.
• Acquire practical skills in creating new ideas and solving problems using CID-TRIZ tools.
• Acquire the ability to independently use the learned tools in daily activities.

WHY IS THIS COURSE NEEDED?

Today it becomes obvious that in the very near future, priority will be given to those professions that cannot be atomized, which, first of all, require creative thinking skills. Our creative imagination is an integral tool for creating new ideas and solutions in a wide variety of areas of human activity. We all have it, but are we using it to its fullest? And if we do, how effective is it?

The proposed course is aimed at mastering the tools for developing our creative imagination to create new ideas and solutions.

There are many courses on creativity. How is this course different? The most popular method for creative ideas and solutions is brainstorming. We don't study it in this course. And we will learn about methods and tools that help systematically generate new non-standard ideas and develop creative imagination. Like any skill, creative imagination requires constant development. A systematic approach to creating new ideas and developing creative imagination (CTI) makes this course unique.

The content of the course is based on the works of Heinrich Altshuller, the author of TRIZ - Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, and his colleagues who developed RTV methods and tools. Today TRIZ is the most powerful tool for solving difficult problems and creating inventive ideas. But, while TRIZ mainly focuses on technical and business innovations and requires significant time to study and master, CID methods can be used in any field, quickly learned and immediately applied in practice. CID tools not only help you come up with new ideas. They help you recognize existing opportunities and look ahead of others.

Heinrich Altshuller said that CID is the first step in TRIZ. And indeed it is. Successful work with TRIZ requires creative imagination. However, CID-TRIZ tools are today successfully used independently to invent new products and services, search for new creative ideas for marketing and advertising, books and scripts, paintings and photography, design and so on.

RTV-TRIZ tools can also be successfully used in group sessions to enhance the efficiency of the process of generating new ideas and solving problems that require a creative approach
