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.

This PPT slide outlines 2 foundational concepts of the TRIZ methodology, which is designed to enhance innovation through structured problem-solving. The first concept focuses on generalizing problems and solutions. It emphasizes that many challenges and their corresponding solutions are not unique to a single industry, but recur across various sectors. This insight allows organizations to leverage existing solutions from different fields, enhancing the potential for innovation. The slide breaks down problems into 2 categories: local and global, suggesting that understanding the scope of a problem is critical for effective resolution.
The second concept addresses the identification and resolution of contradictions, which are deemed central to the TRIZ approach. These contradictions are viewed as significant barriers to effective problem-solving. The slide categorizes contradictions into 2 distinct types: technical and physical. This classification helps organizations pinpoint the nature of the obstacles they face, enabling a more targeted approach to finding solutions.
Overall, the slide presents a clear framework for understanding how TRIZ can facilitate innovation by recognizing patterns in problem-solving and addressing contradictions systematically. This structured methodology could be particularly beneficial for organizations looking to enhance their innovation capabilities and streamline their problem-solving processes. The insights provided here can serve as a foundation for deeper exploration into the TRIZ methodology and its application in various contexts.
This PPT slide outlines the application of the TRIZ methodology, specifically focusing on the "Levels of Innovation." It presents a structured approach to problem-solving through 3 key steps. The first step, "Identify the Innovation Level," emphasizes the importance of assessing the current solution's position within the innovation spectrum. This foundational assessment is crucial for understanding where improvements can be made.
The second step, "Strategize for Higher Levels," encourages organizations to aim for advanced levels of innovation. This involves adopting new scientific principles or exploring uncharted territories. The implication here is that organizations should not settle for incremental changes, but should actively seek transformative innovations that can redefine their offerings.
The final step, "Implement and Review," stresses the execution of innovative solutions and the necessity of evaluating their impact on both the system and the market. This feedback loop is vital for ensuring that innovations are not only implemented, but also assessed for effectiveness and relevance.
An example provided illustrates Apple's iPhone development journey, showcasing various innovation levels from routine improvements to breakthroughs like the M1 chip. This example serves to contextualize the methodology, demonstrating how a structured approach can lead to significant advancements in technology and processes.
Overall, the slide conveys that applying these levels of innovation in a systematic way can lead to continuous improvements and groundbreaking advancements. This structured methodology is essential for organizations aiming to enhance their innovation capabilities and drive substantial growth.
This PPT slide outlines the foundational concepts of the TRIZ methodology, which is designed to tackle complex problems in technical systems. It highlights 4 core principles that serve as the basis for this approach.
First, the notion of Technical Systems emphasizes that every system performing a technical function is composed of multiple subsystems. These systems are dynamic, evolving over time and eventually being replaced by newer iterations. This perspective is crucial for understanding how to innovate and improve existing systems.
The second principle, the Law of Ideality, posits that technical systems naturally progress towards greater effectiveness, reliability, and simplicity while simultaneously reducing costs and resource consumption. This concept encourages organizations to strive for optimal solutions that enhance system performance without unnecessary complexity.
Contradictions, the third principle, refers to the conflicts that arise within a system. For instance, enhancing reliability might complicate a system, or increasing productivity could lead to inefficiencies. TRIZ aims to resolve these contradictions by modifying the system or its components, thus facilitating smoother operations.
Lastly, the Levels of Innovation categorizes inventions into 5 levels based on their inventive value. Level 1 represents routine solutions using established methods, while Level 5 denotes innovations derived from unexplored scientific discoveries. This classification helps organizations assess their innovation strategies and identify areas for improvement.
Overall, these concepts form a structured framework that guides organizations in systematically addressing and resolving technical challenges. Understanding and applying these principles can lead to more effective problem-solving and innovation within complex systems.
This PPT slide presents a foundational concept of the TRIZ methodology, emphasizing the importance of generalizing problems to identify effective solutions. It categorizes problems into 2 main types: local and global. Local problems can be addressed by modifying existing subsystems without altering the overall system. This suggests a more incremental approach to problem-solving, where adjustments are made to improve functionality while keeping the larger framework intact.
In contrast, global problems require a more transformative approach. These issues can only be resolved by developing entirely new systems based on different principles. This indicates a need for innovative thinking and possibly a paradigm shift in how challenges are approached. The slide outlines a structured problem-solving process within TRIZ, which involves defining a specific problem, formalizing it, identifying contradictions, and exploring how similar challenges have been addressed in the past. This systematic method encourages leveraging existing solutions to inform new approaches.
The visual representation on the slide illustrates the progression from general problems to specific solutions, highlighting the relationship between broad concepts and targeted applications. This framework is essential for organizations looking to foster innovation and improve their problem-solving capabilities. By understanding the distinction between local and global problems, executives can better allocate resources and strategize their initiatives. The TRIZ methodology thus serves as a valuable tool for organizations aiming to enhance their operational efficiency and drive innovation.
This PPT slide outlines the implementation steps of the TRIZ methodology, specifically focusing on technical systems analysis. This approach is essential for dissecting complex systems to enhance problem-solving capabilities and drive innovation. The content is structured into 5 key steps, each designed to facilitate a thorough understanding of a system's functionality and interactions.
The first step emphasizes defining the system and its boundaries. This foundational task ensures clarity about what the system encompasses, including its subsystems and the external environment. Without this clarity, subsequent analyses may lack focus.
Next, the slide highlights the importance of identifying the Main Useful Function (MUF). This step is crucial as it determines the primary purpose the system is designed to serve. Understanding this function helps in aligning all further analysis with the system's core objectives.
The third step involves decomposing the system. This means breaking down the system into its constituent subsystems to analyze their interactions. This decomposition is vital for pinpointing inefficiencies or areas that require improvement.
Following this, the slide discusses identifying and analyzing harmful effects. Recognizing negative impacts within the system is essential for addressing inefficiencies and enhancing overall performance.
The final step is performing a functional analysis. This involves understanding the roles of each component and their interactions, providing insights into how the system operates as a whole.
The example of Ford Motor Company illustrates the practical application of this methodology. By employing technical systems analysis, Ford optimized its assembly lines, leading to increased productivity and cost reductions. This real-world application reinforces the value of the TRIZ methodology in driving operational improvements.
