Five-step method for breakthrough

Abstract

The chapter presents a TRIZ-based algorithm to support idea generation in inventive problems. The method differs to all known algorithms including classical ARIZ, and it requires smaller amount of time to learn it and to apply while retaining the same amount and quality of ideas. Forty years of experience of TRIZ application, teaching, and development resulted in this five-step easy-to-use roadmap. The algorithm is supposed to be used by engineers, researchers, students, inventors, and people solving complex problems in business, government, and social environments, as well as everyday problem solvers.
