What is TRIZ?

TRIZ (the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) is a systematic approach for understanding and solving any problem and a catalyst for innovation and invention

Through enabling clear thinking and the generation of innovative ideas, TRIZ helps you to find an ideal solution without the need for compromise.

Years of Russian research into patents uncovered that there are only 100 known solutions to fundamental problems and made them universally available in three TRIZ solution lists and the Effects Database.

It works alongside and supports other toolkits, and is particularly powerful for getting teams to work together to understand problems effectively, collectively generate ideas and innovate.

We regularly run live webinars to provide an overview of TRIZ processes and tools, why not register for free?

The Origins of TRIZ

Beginning in 1946 and still evolving, TRIZ was developed by the Soviet inventor Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues. TRIZ in Russian = Teoriya Resheniya Izobretatelskikh Zadatch or in English, The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. However it is not a Theory - it is a big toolkit consisting of many simple tools - most are easy to learn and immediately apply to problems. This amazing capability helps us tackle any problem or challenge even when we face difficult, intractable or apparently impossible situations. 

TRIZ helps us keep detail in its place, to see the big picture and avoid getting tripped up with irrelevance, waylaid by trivial issues or seduced by premature solutions.

Developed by Oxford Creativity, Oxford TRIZ™ is simpler than standard or classic TRIZ. Its tools and processes are faster to learn and easier to apply.
Oxford TRIZ is true to classical TRIZ (neither adding nor removing anything) but it delivers: 

More powerful results

Faster and easier ways to learn and apply TRIZ

Step-by-step processes for applying TRIZ toolkits

'At a glance' understanding, supported by our hallmark commissioned cartoons (from Clive Goddard)

Philosophy of making every session effective, efficient and fun

Gap-filling where other toolkits fall short

 

TRIZ enthusiasts who have failed to use TRIZ effectively or to embed TRIZ into their organisations hail Oxford TRIZ as revelatory, often saying -

I now see how simple it all is ....with Oxford TRIZ I can always deliver TRIZ problem solving
