TRIZ Introduction by Sergei Ikovenko
Professor Sergei Ikovenko (MIT, Tufts University) is giving an introductory lecture on the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving at Gdańsk University of Technology.
Algorithmic Methodology for Innovation Development
TRIZ – Theory of Inventive Problem Solving – is a methodology that comprises a set of tools and algorithms enabling the systematic and efficient creation of innovations within a short period of time.
People who have learned and apply TRIZ improve products and processes significantly faster while simultaneously reducing their costs. They do not need to rely on random inspiration or possess exceptional creative abilities; instead, they achieve results in a structured and repeatable manner.
The effectiveness of the Pragmatic Innovation methodology based on TRIZ is confirmed by the fact that it is used by 50 of the 100 most valuable brands from the Forbes TOP100 list. Among technology companies, this share is even higher!
South Korea has been recognized by Bloomberg as the most innovative country in the world. Coincidentally, more than 60% of all TRIZ specialists worldwide work in this very country.
