WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO SOLVE INNOVATION PROBLEMS?

We are used to looking for such solutions through trial and error, the most common option of which is brainstorming, which stimulates our creative imagination. When the problem is simple, trial and error works effectively and we find a solution in a couple of hours or even minutes. But what if the problem is complex and contains conflicting requirements? Complex problems, as a rule, contain not one, but several contradictions. Such problems can take years to resolve. What to do?

TRIZ

Not long ago the situation changed. To significantly speed up the search for strong solutions, professionals today use TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) tools, which allow them to search, formulate and solve problems containing contradictions with a high degree of ideality and in the shortest possible time.

TRIZ was developed as a result of many years of analysis of tens of thousands of inventive and innovative solutions and ideas. Originally created to support technical invention, modern TRIZ also works to solve problems in business and management. Modern TRIZ is not only a theory, but also dozens of tools and hundreds of templates for innovative ideas that allow you to both search for and formulate problems and solve them.
