Thinking Different: The TRIZ Approach to Solving the Right Problem by Akhilesh Gulati

Hey there, curious minds! Join us for an online event where we delve into the fascinating world of TRIZ - a problem-solving methodology that will blow your mind! Don't miss out on this opportuniy

TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) is a systematic problem-solving methodology developed by Russian engineer and scientist Genrich Altshuller in the mid-20th century. Grounded in the analysis of patents across various fields, TRIZ aims to generate innovative solutions to technical problems by identifying and applying patterns known as the "laws of technical systems evolution."

The core principle of TRIZ is that inventive solutions follow recognizable patterns. By leveraging these patterns, TRIZ offers a structured approach to problem-solving through a suite of principles, methods, and techniques.

Abstract: Widely applied across various industries, TRIZ offers a structured framework for overcoming obstacles and fostering innovative solutions. To remain competitive, organizations must align product quality and manufacturing processes with evolving demands for value, efficiency, and reliability. The complexity of products and processes, coupled with conflicting objectives, presents challenges in optimization.

The efficacy of TRIZ hinges on pinpointing and solving the root problem rather than addressing symptoms. Akhilesh will shed light on problem selection, emphasizing the importance of identifying the core issue for effective solution development. Join the session to explore problem-solving strategies using TRIZ, ensuring optimal outcomes for projects, across different industries.
