Invention Algorithm (Triz) - Workbook: Creativity Method for Generating Breakthrough Inventions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781521089835)

This Workbook will enable you to create high-level, creative solutions in solving technical problems. You will just use the Invention Algorithm method by following a step-by-step procedure, to arrive at a creative solution to your task. The solutions based on the Invention Algorithm are often quite simple, but often surprisingly ingenious, and you will be surprised that your creative solutions were not found earlier. The only two concepts within the method, which are not commonly used in industry are the terms: "Contradiction" and the "Ideal Final Solution." These terms are clearly explained, with an example, in the Introduction part of this book. The author of this book believes that your best way to learn the Invention Algorithm method is to use the Workbook to immediately start solving your tasks. First, read the Introduction part of this Workbook, and then start solving your task using the Algorithm part of this book. Provide yourself with the "on-the-job-self-training" by analyzing how each Chapter of the Algorithm guides you to think about specific aspects of your inventive project. This is the best and the fastest way that you can use to become an expert in finding creative solutions. You will remember much better solving your own tasks than the examples provided for you in the books or within a TRIZ course. Some companies, such as the South Korean "Samsung," achieved a spectacular commercial success as a result of implementation of the Invention Algorithm (TRIZ) method to all of their operations. The South Korean "economical miracle" was in large part a result of embracing the Invention Algorithm method by that country. The power of the Invention Algorithm method is based on having the creativity-related knowledge condensed from the thousands of years of our civilization. This knowledge is combined and condensed into the universal 40 Principles of Inventive Solutions. Isaac Newton, when asked about his achievements stated that he was "standing on the shoulders of the giants." Similarly, you will be using of the civilizations' creativity-related knowledge while using the 40 Principles of Creativity. The 40 Principles were extracted from many thousands of highly creative patents, originally analyzed by Genrich Altshuller, in 1960s. Since then, more research has been done, but the number the creativity principles remained the same; all new creative technical solutions can be assigned to one or a combination of several creativity principles belonging to those already identified 40 Principles. An abbreviation of the Altshuller's original Russian name of the Invention Algorithm method, TRIZ, became world-wide known synonym of the Altshuller's Invention Algorithm.
