TRIZ and technology forecast
Understanding demand and product life cycles, technology life cycles, S- curve analysis, and TRIZ patterns of evolution of engineering systems; complemented by other TRIZ practices, gives TRIZ practitioners the ability to make next generation product through challenges the product development strategists, and, as a result, to forecast what is coming down the road.
The technology forecasting methods of TRIZ multiply your ability to understand where your designs are going, and where your competitors are going, so you can plan development investments now to get the right products to market at the right time. This is a good way to leapfrog the competition, rather than just catch up.
The TRIZ Experts are developing the methods for short- and long-term forecasting and investment activities based on technique evolution.
