The TRIZ Journal
For people interested in the TRIZ methods of creativity and innovation. More than 10 years of searchable archives!

Axiomatic Innovation: Creativity As an Exact Science
Professor Nam Suh of MIT set out to provide some scientific components to mix with artistic elements typically found in design. He sought to bring science to what was mostly art. During this search, he developed the science of Axiomatic Design (AD).

Brainstorming and TRIZ
Brainstorming is rarely mentioned in TRIZ circles, but there are startling similarities between the two. Brainstorming tools can be used to increase the effectiveness of TRIZ by helping to bridge the gap between the general solution and the specific.

Case Study: Integrating TRIZ Into Six Sigma
Six Sigma operates based on the assumption that the solution to a problem is contained within the process under investigation. TRIZ, which can solve the problem outside of the process boundaries, is a necessary to Six Sigma to solve external solutions.

Case Study: Road Fleet Maintenance Improved With TRIZ
Technical systems maintenance is ground for inventive answers, as maximum system reliability at minimum cost is needed. Only the contradiction matrix and 40 inventive principles were used – no other tools were needed for a simple, useful solution.

Case Study: Using TRIZ to Forecast Technology
TRIZ is emerging as a powerful scientific tool that helps decision-makers to make strategic forecasting decisions. Assessment of a company’s current technology should drive the direction of the R&D planning process.

Dow Pairs Six Sigma With Innovation
When innovation is the lifeblood of a company, it cannot solely on the fickleness of inspiration. This basic premise underlies research and development at The Dow Chemical Co.

Dow: Designing the Next-generation Railcar With TRIZ
The interaction of process improvement and innovation tools can be seen in one of Dow’s projects – to design the next generation of rail tank cars for transporting the most hazardous chemicals.

Eureka! Seeing a Forest of Innovations Because of TRIZ
TRIZ uses history—and more concretely, historical data culled from several million patents that have been analyzed and decomposed by the TRIZ community—as the starting point for people to look when solving a problem.

Find the Ideal Final Result
The Ideal Final Result (IFR) tool has a solid base in innovation science. Beginning with a problem's optimal end expands the creativity stage by removing all obstacles from the situation. The IFR increases benefits while simultaneously decreasing costs and harm.

Innovate By Discovering What You Do Not Know
TRIZ forces the question of how well even people with genius abilities can formulate new strategies, products and services in a way that meets the need of business to do continually innovate quickly and effectively.

Innovation 'Grows On' TRIZ
Podcast interview of Ellen Domb by Dan Keldsen, emphasizing applications of TRIZ to software development. Third TRIZ interview in Keldsen's series.

Practical Magic
Summary article on TRIZ published in British quality publication, Qualityworld.

Six Sigma Trends: Six Sigma Leadership And Innovation Using TRIZ
TRIZ science extends traditional system engineering approaches and provides powerful systematic methods and tools for problem formulation, system- and failure analysis, for both existing and future issues, by using system patterns of evolution.

Smart Innovation Adapts to Any Problem or Situation
Adaptive innovation is the key to the ability of an organization’s ability to respond quickly to the needs of society and the customer – it leverages any ability to adapt and existing solution to suit for its purposes.

TRIZ - What Is TRIZ?
TRIZ - What Is TRIZ?

Use the Eight Patterns of Evolution to Innovate
Most technology development roadmaps will embody more than one of the eight evolutionary patterns. A strategic thinker should not see technology development as a specific problem to be solved, but a specific expression of underlying patterns.

Who Will Learn and Use TRIZ
A large proportion of users will only ever know and use one or two tools of TRIZ and there are concerns that TRIZ appears to contain a considerable amount of overlap. This overlap exists between different tools, but it also exists within the same tool.
