Fast, effective innovation
|
Innovation is critical for todays successful enterprises. Increased competition, new technologies and more discerning customers mean that we need to innovate to add value to our products, stay ahead of the competition and reduce the cost and time to introduce new products. But sometimes its hard to be innovative. We are focused on daily tasks and its easier to continue with current processes than learn something new.
TRIZ is the Russian algorithm for "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving" and is a systematic approach to inventive problem solving. Based on the analysis of over 2 million patents, it was discovered that similar problems are solved in different sectors and for different applications.
