Meaning and purpose of TRIZ

TRIZ is a method which was created and developed between 1946 and the middle 1980s in the former USSR by Genrikh Altshuller (see picture below) and co-workers. After Althuller's death in 1998, the TRIZ research was not any more under his authority and many TRIZ people went their own way, and developed further the method.


TRIZ is a romanized Russian acronym meaning "theory of inventive problem solving".
It operates originally in the so-called technosphere (= all technological fields developed by the human kind).
Within this frame TRIZ can help engineers to solve tough problems and to invent. Note that there is a strong relationship between both : if one want to solve tough problems, one must often be inventive, and if one wants to invent, one must often solve a least one tough problem.

In this blog, among other topics, we will introduce step by step different aspects and tools of TRIZ.
