When you become TRIZ competent are your new, good, brain powering habits like a TRIZ field effect or more like a TRIZ process? To me the answer is both - the TRIZ directed power of our talent and experience, makes a field effect of our cleverness, while our practice and frequent TRIZ application becomes an instinctive process. AND It builds us muscle memory for genius instincts.

TRIZ is like many activities - the more we practice the better and faster we get, although talent is a factor, everyone can excel at TRIZ. Many find that TRIZ is a joy as it boosts brain power so we think more clearly and find the fastest ways to innovative, sustainable solutions. Getting started with Oxford TRIZ is straightforward and easy if you want to become a Master it's like chess or golf - just do it - as often as possible.

Thinking clearly and coherently is one of the most important skills TRIZ delivers. This applies in all situations even when your brain may not be the organ driving your behaviour – when your heart takes over then you need TRIZ logic and clarity even more than before.

When Keith Rigby had a heart attack he knew he needed to change his lifestyle to reduce the risk of having another one. Keith had been using TRIZ in his day job for many years, so he decided to use TRIZ to take a structured approach to improving his lifestyle and keeping himself healthy for years to come. 

Gender equality matters and I hoped that I knew what to do when asked to help answer to the question ‘Why is it so hard to get more women in IT?’. All I had to do was Trust TRIZ* and work with people who have the right, relevant knowledge but no clear answers yet.

Can we solve the contradiction of leaving and not leaving?
