Psychological Inertia & Systematic Innovation
- Definition of psychological inertia is included.
- Explanation of how psychological inertia may constrain the process of problem-solving.
- Examples illustrate the concept.
Key Discoveries
- Patents analysis: 200,000 patents initially analyzed reduced to 40,000 with more than 2.8M analyzed to date.
- Synthesized innovations across industries and sciences leading to 40 Inventive Principles.
- Patterns of Technical Evolution, using technology trends to create innovations.
- Innovations in different fields use scientific effects from outside the original problem to solve problems in unique ways.
Why TRIZ
- TRIZ is a statistically based methodology for engineers offering systematic approaches to solve technical problems.
- It helps solve problems more efficiently compared to trial and error methods.
- Discusses the reasons for the need of TRIZ. The limitations of existing problem-solving methods, such as psychological inertia, lack of knowledge, goal mismatch or not knowing the actual root cause will be addressed. The limitations of existing methods prevent engineers solving problems effectively.
- Describes the advantages of using TRIZ to support innovation and creative lifestyles.
- TRIZ helps to solve problem quickly.
TRIZ Tools & Applications
