As with all such questions, the answer is "it depends."   I like the Strategyn method because it starts with the customer, and understanding the customers' needs and evaluation criteria, then getting innovative (and there are some TRIZ elements built into their method now, since I've been collaborating with them for a year or so.)   BUT if you have a strong DFSS system, it can accomplish the same thing, with different tools and methods.  AND if you have excellent customer knowledge, but don't know how to take the next steps to satisfying customer needs, TRIZ is extraordinarily productive, and (contrary to mythology) easy to get started with.   You'll have to make your own choice of TRIZ methods (but as editor I can say without violating our non-commercial policy for this column, check out our authors, editors, and advertisers.)
