DESCRIPTION
Complex and competitive organizations across industries such as engineering, manufacturing, and product development face significant challenges in solving problems effectively and fostering innovation. Traditional problem-solving methods often fall short in addressing the multifaceted nature of these challenges, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for innovation.
Developed by Genrich Altshuller, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is a sophisticated tool that helps organizations overcome these challenges through a systematic and structured approach. Rooted in the analysis of global patent literature, TRIZ identifies patterns and principles that can be applied to solve technical contradictions and drive innovative solutions.
In this PowerPoint presentation, we will delve on the core concepts, methodologies, and introduce tools used in TRIZ, exploring its significance and relevance across various industries. We will focus on the 4 core methodologies of TRIZ:
1. Technical Systems – Every system performing a technical function is a technical system, which can include multiple subsystems. These systems evolve, mature, and are eventually replaced by new systems.
2. Law of Ideality – A technical system tends to reduce costs, energy wastes, space, and dimensional requirements while becoming more effective, reliable, and simpler over time.
3. Contradictions – Improvement in one part of a system often leads to conflicts with other parts, such as reliability vs. complexity or productivity vs. precision. TRIZ aims to eliminate these contradictions without compromises by modifying the system or its subsystems.
4. Levels of Innovation – Altshuller categorized inventions into 5 levels based on their inventive value.
Understanding and applying these components allows organizations to systematically address complex problems, resulting in more effective and innovative solutions. This structured methodology ensures problem-solving adheres to a proven framework that enhances creativity and efficiency.
By the end of this PPT presentation, executives will gain valuable insights into how TRIZ can be leveraged to address their organization's unique challenges, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
This primer to the TRIZ methodology also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
