The audience (about 40 participants) was very enthusiastic and seemed to accept the material rather well! </span><br />
<span class="userContent"></span><br />
<span class="userContent">During the class I explained the basic concepts of TRIZ, how they have been adapted to business and management, and how the TRIZ approach to solving non-standard problems can be used within the business and management context to drastically shorten problem solving time and increase quality of new ideas and solutions. </span><br />
<span class="userContent"></span><br />
<span class="userContent">During the last hour we took a challenge from the class to run a case. One of the participants explained a problem his company faced in the past. The group started to apply TRIZ and a number of solution directions were proposed by the participants. The problem owner was fascinated to see how the group managed to find a successful solution within 15 minutes while he spent half a year to come up with the same solution.</span><br />

<span class="userContent">Thanks Alexander Sorokoumoff, Julia Sushkova, and Startup Technologies Ltd. for organizing and hosting the event.</span> <br />

A more extended 3-day hands-on course on TRIZ for Business and Management is scheduled for July 29-31 in Minsk: <a href="http://www.xtriz.com/Training/TRIZBM_3Days_ru.htm">http://www.xtriz.com/Training/TRIZBM_3Days_ru.htm</a> (all in Russian)<br />

<span class="userContent">On May 14 I delivered the workshop "Innovation-Based Marketing" under the roof of <a href="http://www.tias.edu/" target="_blank">TIAS Business School</a> at <a href="http://www.brainportdevelopment.nl/en/" target="_blank">Brainport Development</a> in Eindhoven for a group of CEOs and owners of high-tech companies targeted at growth as next OEM. If TRIZ focuses on finding a solution to a problem, ZIRT (gues<span class="text_exposed_show">s what is in the name?) focuses on finding problems to a solution. Once a company developed and commercialized an innovative technology, the question emerges: where else the technology can be used? </span></span><br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show"></span></span><br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">A subject of special interest are application areas which reside far away from the original application area the technology was designed for. I have been involved to the development of ZIRT due to numerous requests of my customer. At the workshop in Eindhoven ZIRT approach helped two companies to discover a number of new and unexpected application domains for their technologies which can lead to developing new products for the mass market. </span></span><br />

The course was organized by the TRIZ Campus and supported and hosted by General Electric Global Research in Munich, Germany.<br />
<br />
Root Conflict Analysis (RCA+) helps with managing complexity of a specific innovative problem by identifying a set of contradictions that contribute to the problem and establishing relationships between these contradictions. As a result we obtain an accurate problem formulation directly in the form of interrelated contradictions.<br />
<br />
Value-Conflict Mapping (VCM) is a strategy-defining tool which helps to develop a map which establishes and structures relationships between all types of so-called “blocking” contradictions which should be resolved within short and long terms to develop a system or a product further. VCM was designed to define contradictions that emerge between market, technology and business demands.<br />
<br />
The audience accepted both tools rather well, and intensive practice during two days helped to dive deep to the techniques. The feedback I got would definitely help me to work on further enhancements of both techniques.<br />

The event was organized by the Ecole Nationale d'Arts et Métiers (Arts & Métiers ParisTech) of Paris; ETRIA - The European TRIZ association; and was sponsored by CIRP, the international Academy for Production Engineering. <br />
<br />
The conference gathered about 140 registered participants from many different countries. The event was pretty intensive: it featured 3 tutorials and 79 presentations in total including keynote talks and presentations at plenary sessions.<br />
<br />
To help with relaxing a bit a very intensive 3-day program, the organizers provided top-notch lunches demonstrating fantastic flavours of French cousine, and the conference dinner was organized during a boat trip on Siene river to enjoy the lights of Paris at night.<br />
<br />
Although the conference fee was a bit high this year (Paris has never been an inexpensive city), still the conference attracted a lot of people from both academia and industry, and I could clearly observe increase of interest in TRIZ from academia. <br />
<br />
The next ETRIA TRIZ Future Conference will be organized on October 29-31, 2014 in Lausanne, Switzerland. See more details to come at <a href="http://www.etria.eu/">www.etria.eu</a> <br />

Recently we introduced a new approach for systematic business model innovation based on combination of several TRIZ tools for identifying and solving challenges to obtain innovative solutions for business models and business systems for virtually every business domain: from technology to banking and insurance. <br />
<br />
This approach will be explained and practiced at my next training workshop "Systematic Business Model Innovation" which is scheduled for September 18, 2013 in Utrecht, The Netherlands. <br />

It was a very pleasant experience. The degree of TRIZ Master corresponds to the top level in the certification system by MATRIZ (level 5). <br />
<br />
Besides me two more persons were awarded the TRIZ Master degree on merits: Jun-Young Lee from Samsung Electronics and Victor Menaker. Two other persons, Alexander Medvedev and Natalia Rubina successfully defended their TRIZ Master theses.<br />

We had a small but beautiful group of participants. I have been working on applying the TRIZ approach to innovating business models and systems since 2005 and so far most of experiments and pilots were successful. It is not surprising since evolution of both technology and business are evolution of man-made systems and seems to be governed by rather similar principles. Thus now it is time to move to a bigger audience.<br />
<br />
My next training workshop "Systematic Business Model Innovation" which is scheduled for September 18, 2013 in Utrecht, The Netherlands. More information is available at: <br />

This time my talk concerned application of TRIZ-based approach within social domain. The reaction of audience was very positive, we tried to use some basic TRIZ concepts during the lecture to approach and solve a social problem. We did not expect any breakthrough ideas within such a short time but it seemed like everyone agreed that there is a big potential for further exploring how the key concepts and approach behind TRIZ can be used for social problem solving and social innovation.Valeri Souchkovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06469717819500938872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34072115.post-47731489371519717172013-08-14T14:45:00.002+02:002013-10-18T12:00:50.494+02:00TRIZ Fundamentals 2013 finalizedThe course "TRIZ Fundamentals 2013" gathered 50 participants this year. It was slightly over the limit but we allowed a greater number of students to register since we expected some last minute cancellations but they did not happen this time. <br />
<br />
In addition to 41 B.Sc and M.Sc students we had 9 external guests from industry representing 5 countries. <br />
<br />
All the participants were split to 15 groups and each group managed to perform 10 practical assignments. The workload was a bit heavy but at the end of the course everyone looked excited. The following subjects and tools were studied this year:<br />
<ul>
<li>TRIZ background and systematic approach to innovation</li>
<li>Ideality and Ideal Final Results</li>
<li>Evolution of technology through innovation</li>
<li>Root Conflict Analysis</li>
<li>40 Inventive Principles</li>
<li>Substance-Field Analysis</li>
<li>76 Inventive Standards</li>
<li>Function Analysis</li>
<li>Trimming</li>
<li>Value Conflict Mapping</li>
<li>Introduction to ARIZ</li>
<li>Models of Technology Evolution</li>
<li>Trends and Lines of Technology Evolution</li>
</ul>
At the end of the course each participant and student obtained a certificate of TRIZ Practitioner Advanced Level. <br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Last </span>week I participated at the <a href="http://www.trizportugal.com/">12th ETRIA World TRIZ Future Conference in Lisbon</a>, organized jointly by ETRIA, New University of Lisbon, and sponsored by a number of organizations. The conference was chaired by Dr. Cruz Machado and Prof. Helena Navas from the New University of Lisbon, and Dr. Tom Vaneker from ETRIA and the University of Twente.<br />
<br />
The event went on October 24-26, 2012. The venue of the conference was at the university campus Caparica, located near the ocean which was really inspiring and provided naturally “fresh” atmosphere.<br />
<br />
This time the conference gathered about 90 participants from 27 countries. About 60% of the conference participants represented Europe, 30% Asia Pacific, and 10% other parts of the world, including USA and Australia. The conference featured 4 keynote talks, 2 tutorials, and 60 presentations from 135 authors and co-authors: 28 scientific contributions, 23 practitioner contributions, and 9 short talks. Thanks to the introduction of “short paper” format several years ago, the conference allows short papers to be presented in 10 minutes that extends a number of live presentations at the event. Other papers were presented in a usual, 30 minutes format. <br />
<br />
About 50% of the participants represented scientific and research institutions, and about 50% private and industrial organizations.<br />
<br />
A full <a href="http://www.etria.net/TFC2012_Program.pdf">conference program is available</a>. 698-page conference proceedings are available from the organizers. So far it has been the largest volume of the TRIZ Future conference proceedings.<br />
<br />
I provided the introductory TRIZ tutorial for the conference participants at the first conference day and later presented a paper on "Functional Value Map" written by my colleagues Ives de Saeger and Kim Rutten.<br />
<br />
Social events included the conference dinner, and a dinner with fados, traditional Portuguese style of music and singing. And there was really a lot of informal communication among the conference participants to exchange comments, opinions, ideas, and discussing future collaborations.<br />
<br />
The official conference closing was followed by the ETRIA Members meeting where a new President of ETRIA was elected: Prof. Dr. Ir. Joost Duflou, from the K.U. Leuven, Belgium. Many thanks were expressed to Dr. Tom Vaneker, who served as ETRIA President in 2009-2012.<br />
<br />
As usual, Ellen Domb, a former editor of the online TRIZ Journal, provided a live coverage of the event with many details, including comments on a number of presentations and keynote talks. <a href="http://trizrealworld.blogspot.nl/2012_10_01_archive.html">See her blog posts about the conference</a>.<br />
<br />
The next edition of the conference will be held in Paris, France at the end of October – beginning of November 2013. See the forthcoming news at the <a href="http://etria.net/portal/">ETRIA website</a>.<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"></span></div>

<br />
According to numerous requests, I made an overview of tools which are used most frequently within xTRIZ framework to support 10 types of innovative tasks. The overview can be found at:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Extriz%2Ecom%2Fcs%2F10_InnovativeTasks_ToolsTable%2Epdf&urlhash=fla4&_t=tracking_anet" rel="nofollow" target="blank">http://www.xtriz.com/cs/10_InnovativeTasks_ToolsTable.pdf</a><br /><br />Note that tasks 5,6 and 9 are not currently fully supported by neither xTRIZ nor TRIZ tools. In addition, several tools mentioned were developed within xTRIZ and have no direct link to classical TRIZ tools. Some tools (Problem Perception Map, Multi-Criteria Decision Matrix) are taken from areas other than TRIZ or xTRIZ. In addition, extra tools from different areas can be used in different projects and they are not mentioned in the table.Valeri Souchkovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06469717819500938872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34072115.post-6650869088796342612012-08-03T17:16:00.001+02:002012-08-16T14:31:18.523+02:00Ten Types of Innovative TasksI am often asked to help with innovation: in products, technologies, or business services. When I talk to people asking me, I find that rather often they do not realize exactly what kind of innovation they want. But innovative solutions and new ideas can vary significantly and solve different types of tasks. On top of that, to use systematic innovation tools (like TRIZ), we need to know what we want to achieve to select a right process.<br />
<br />
Therefore I use my own classification of ten categories of tasks which can be identified:<br />
<ol>
<li>Improve quality of a product, process, or service: e.g. eliminate negative, unwanted and undesired effects, increase robustness. </li>
<li>Improve performance of a product, process, or service: e.g. raise performance of positive effects, functions, or other features.</li>
<li>Increase “compactness” of a product, process or service: e.g. decrease physical dimensions, process or service time, reduce energy consumption, or eliminate human involvement.</li>
<li>Improve ergonomics, usability and use comfort.</li>
<li>Improve design, aesthetics, psychological attractiveness.</li>
<li>Add new functions or features to existing products, process, services.</li>
<li>Create a radically new design (form, shape) of a product. </li>
<li>Radically cut either production or total ownership costs of a product, process, or service.</li>
<li>Find new application areas for an existing product (technology), process or service.</li>
<li>Create a radically new product, technology, process or service.</li>
</ol>
Some more general tasks like a general innovative improvement of a system, or patent circumvention were not included to this classification since they usually can be decomposed to one of these tasks.<br />
<br />
In every area of innovation, a number of solutions in each category grows towards the top of this list. Statistically there are many more innovative solutions improving quality than radically cutting costs, for instance.<br />
<br />
The question might arise: are the solutions to the tasks at the bottom of the list address disruptive innovations while solutions to the tasks at the top of the list are incremental? In most cases yes, but not always. Everything depends on a scale of change that should be made to achive a speicifc goal. Sometimes to solve a quality-related problem, for instance, decreasing a number of accidents, a radical change of a basic principle behind a product or a service is needed which results in disruptive innovation.<br />
