1. All engineering systems have uniform evolution in direction of increase of ideality. Many other systems (economic, educational, etc.) have the same evolution trends.
2. Any inventive problem represents a conflict between new requirements and old system.
TRIZ comprises various systematic techniques - Inventive Principles;
Psychological Inertia Overpass System; Physical, Chemical and Geometric
Effects; Substrate-field and Functional Analysis; Technological Ideality
Concept; Technology Forecasting, etc. It helps find an quasi-ideal solution
to the inventive problems through the hidden conflicts resolutions based
on the knowledge of a system evolution.
Fortune 100 companies cite a phenomenal increase in the productivity and quality of the solutions of tough engineering problems due to the use of this new revolutionary methodology.
TRIZ is even more than a methodology--it is a unique way of thinking that enhances creativity by getting individuals to think far beyond their own experience, to reach across other disciplines, to resolve problems using extracted knowledge from other areas of business, science or technology.
