Flatten Barriers to Change & Create a Tsunami of Innovation

 

Big waves of exciting, new, powerful solutions can sweep away old, established attitudes which unthinkingly reject anything new or NIH (Not Invented Here). Locating such answers has become available to multinational teams enabling them to simultaneously problem solve together across continents and time zones. Many of our customers are combining our online and face to face Oxford TRIZ workshops and achieving astonishing results and with the unexpected outcome of making an international innovative culture possible. As Peter Drucker famously said "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast", he also championed one of the corner stones of TRIZ advocating TRIMMING to change direction to build the best habits for effectiveness.

Any change, including embedding innovation through TRIZ, needs more than just a few sessions to break the status quo. We need to design test and apply, then apply again and again to embed the right practices. Like all good infrastructure changes an innovation culture doesn’t evolve overnight, it needs practice and practical action. We recommend our tried and tested method of getting your busy global teams to TRIZ problem solve together, no matter how far apart - something which is now possible with our online workshops. Successfully solving tough problems together with TRIZ can startlingly kick-start this process, getting attention and proving that TRIZ delivers innovation every time.

 

Online TRIZ has also transformed Oxford Creativity. Until March 2020 we were steadily busy, sometimes frantically so when many customers needed next-day help, calling on our Rapid Response Problem Programme. But As Covid struck and much business stopped we had to evoke our own rapid response processes to ensure within weeks all our training and problem solving was available to those locked down at home. The fast universal acceptance of online working and platforms like Zoom meant we could immediately meet the new demand and get your teams working together again no matter how far apart or isolated at home. This resolved the contradiction of being safely quarantined and working in a team.

    Article: Innovation Beyond BS

    What does Innovation beyond BS mean to you? I coined the phrase in despair when yet another team thought a more effective BRAIN STORMING (BS) method was all they needed to achieve innovation.

    My experience has taught me that TRIZ is the most efficient way to achieve real innovation and the best way to ensure consistent innovation is to embed TRIZ teachings and problem solving tools across organisation, paying particular attention to the parts of TRIZ which are most relevant and useful. Read my article to find out more.
