TRIZ method – innovation: encouraging creativity, stimulating the search for innovative solutions - #TM061

You are looking to:

• Develop creativity in your company, and the ability to find innovative ideas by exploring new technological fields to stay ahead of your competitors.
• Solve complex technological problems quickly by refusing compromise solutions while optimizing company resources.

• Understand the 40 inventive principles
• Know how to use the contradiction matrix to identify which inventive principles are most likely to be useful in resolving the contradiction
• Understand the added value of TRIZ compared to other methods
• Assess the potential use and added value of TRIZ in your company

Employees in the innovation, R&D, design office, marketing, industrialization/methods, production/maintenance departments in charge of developing innovations in the company

• The understanding of the approach is acquired through theoretical contributions, examples and practical exercises in sub-groups based on real industrial case studies. During the intersessional period, the trainees apply the approach to a real case from their company. The work is presented on the second day of training.

This training is offered in 2 one-day sessions with a one-month intersession.

Knowledge test (Multi Choice Questions)

Participant file including presentations delivered during the course and the exercise materials. Training materials in digital format are made available to trainees a few days before the course.

• Have a PC with a microphone, a webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: background screens are available on Zoom or Teams to blur or hide the rear view.
• Have a good Internet connection, to be tested before the session.
• Be installed in a quiet, isolated place ; set yourself to “unavailable” status on Teams ; close your email access, and mute your phone, so as not to be disturbed during the session.
• Participants from the same organization should not be grouped together in the same room, but each at his/ her own desk, to avoid any side discussions during the session. Virtual sub-groups will be specially created for the exercises, which will also enable mixed groups.
• Remote qualification/certification exams must be taken with camera and microphone open. We may also need to check that you are alone in the room.
• Please connect 5 minutes before the start of the session.
