TRIZ CONSULTING, INC.
TRIZ (the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) is a unique methodology for technology forecasting and solving problems in innovation.
Classical TRIZ was developed by Genrich S. Altshuller in the former Soviet Union. Today TRIZ is used in more than 50 countries.
Applying TRIZ, companies were able to solve even simingly unsolvable problems in innovation while shortening time for problem solving process.
The power of TRIZ is based on the generalization of the ways used to solve problems in the most innovative inventions.
Discovered common steps and trends in the development of many successful products and processes provide the base for technology forecasting and road mapping of innovation.
Classical TRIZ classifies innovative problems into five classes and offers corresponding problem solving methods for each class of problems. The methods include the algorithm for resolving conflicts between product parameters while minimizing product changes and costs. Problems with contradictions involved could be routinely solved any without trade-offs.
Altshuller stopped development of TRIZ in 1985 because of deterioration of his health. Today his methods are called Classical TRIZ. It includes the following methods.

Genrich Altshuller
1926-1998
Genrich S. Altshuller began in 1946 an in-depth study of the best inventions and the history of the development of successful products and technologies. He created TRIZ, a science to invent, published 14 books and hundreds of papers.
