Understanding TRIZ: Generalizing Problems for Solutions PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 32-slide TRIZ Methodology Primer PowerPoint presentation, 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.
