Hi Friends - How many of you have heard about TRIZ?
"TRIZ" is the (Russian) acronym for the "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving." G.S. Altshuller and his colleagues in the former U.S.S.R. developed the method between 1946 and 1985. It is based on the belief that “Somebody someplace has already solved this problem (or one very similar to it). Creativity is now finding that solution and adapting it to this particular problem”. More than three million patents have been analyzed to discover the patterns that predict breakthrough solutions to problems.
Over the course of the 60 years, TRIZ research has identified 40 principles – also called “The 40 Inventive Principles of Problem Solving”. The best way to learn and explore TRIZ is to begin a problem that you haven't solved satisfactorily and try solving it using the 40 principles. Chances are one of these principles will work for you!
Do let us know if this was helpful in solving your problems.
P.S: Personal problems are outside the ambit of TRIZ :-)
