Invitation to two OTSM-TRIZ websites

To people interested by TRIZ and who can read French, I recommend to go to, to read and to follow the following blog :

http://triz-experience.blogspot.com/

This blog is written and maintained by Yves Guillou, technical director of a French SME, 48 years old, who studied in 2007 at Insa de Strasbourg, France, and obtained an Advanced Master in Innovative Design (see current programme : http://www.insa-strasbourg.fr/fr/mastere-specialise-conception-innovante/). This is an academic way of learning TRIZ in France. The existence of this very interesting Master deserves to be well-known.
Yves entitled his blog "TRIZ et OTSM-TRIZ, quelques réflexions personnelles sur cette théorie". Like my blog, it is only at the beginning. You will find valuable information about TRIZ fundamentals, concepts and techniques. As explained in his introductive post, Yves proposes a step-by-step approach to TRIZ, which is made accessible to anyone.

You will also find on his blog a video and related explanations about a real industrial innovation which was realized by Yves Guillou (my congratulations !) (see : http://triz-experience.blogspot.com/2011/02/un-exemple-concret-dapplication.html), using TRIZ and OTSM-TRIZ. This is the first example of TRIZ success stories that I promised to post on this blog. OTSM-TRIZ was created by Nikolai Khomenko, who taught him in 2007. I consider OTSM-TRIZ as an extension of classical TRIZ. As far as I know (for there is no public synthesis of this theory, and only a few publications which are insufficient to get the whole picture), the essential contribution of OTSM-TRIZ to classical TRIZ is the introduction of two concepts : problems' network and contradictions' network. Yves' intent is to later explain how to use the problems' network. I am personally looking forward to reading this post.

Last thing, I also invite you to discover the following website about OTSM-TRIZ, which is written by the former Yves Guillou and his friend Séverine Baudrux (initially teacher, currently trainer), in English this time :

http://sites.google.com/site/otsmtriz/

You will find there very beautiful heuristic maps and TRIZ-related icons (see an example below ; this is the Size-Time-Cost operator) which help TRIZ users to have a good grasp of the different concepts and tools. Nice job !
