TRIZ Resource Center
TRIZ is a popular, scientifically based inventive problem solving process. It is based on the idea that there are universal principles of invention that are the basis for creative innovations that advance technology. Once these principles can be identified and codified, they can be used to make the process of invention more predictable. TRIZ is widely used today to improve products, services, and systems. It greatly reduces the time to produce breakthrough ideas and inventions.
This TRIZ resource center is designed to help you to find the best information, tools, resources and strategies to help you utilize this powerful problem-solving and product development methodology in your organization!
