Presented at Pecha Kucha - Edition 6 - 5th November.
Topic of the Presentation deals with how Innovation can be done using a strict set of rules and how the results are equally fabulous.
TRIZ, ARIZ, Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, Altshuller, Contradictions Matrix
5. In the bhaag daud of this Zindagi
it's bahut zaroori to take stock of
jo bhi ‘Pecha Kucha’ hai.

6. Everybody has problems !!!
Everybody wants solutions !!!
Can you give Innovation / Creativity - a Structure to which it
must adhere / conform to ?
Elegant Cost-effective
Time-Saving
Creative
7. • December 1948
• “Dear Comrade Stalin” - “To J. V. Stalin, The Prime
Minister of the Union of the Soviet Socialist
Republics”
8. • “... There exists a theory that can help an engineer
invent…”
• The repercussions
9. • First Author’s Certificate at the age of 12 – for an
underwater diving apparatus.
• At the age of 14 – a boat that used Carbide for fuel.
• In 1946 – a mechanism to escape out of a submerged
submarine without any equipment.
• Father of TRIZ - teoriya resheniya izobretatelskikh
zadatch
10. • Before Genrich Altshuller –
Inventions were the result of accidents, mood or
“blood-type”.
• “If a methodology for inventing did not exist, one
should be developed.”
Invention Is nothing more the removal of a technical
contradiction with the help of certain principles.
Invention is certain if an inventor possesses
knowledge of these principles.
11. • Work in the Patent Office
• KGB and FBI
• 200,000 patents narrowed to 40,000 patents.
• Levels of Innovation
12. • Classification of the patents – industry wise
posed problems because the core-issue
remained the same in many industries.
• The same problem had been solved over and
over again using some fundamental inventive
principles - Access – More Quickly and
efficiently.
• Thus was born the Contradictions Matrix –
Altshuller Matrix
15. • An Example, In line with Dynamization-
Trend/Principle: Nokia's bending phone.
• NOKIA FLEX
16. TRIZ Principles - In Practice
• Principle 8. Anti-Weight – in Business
• To compensate for the weight (downward
tendency) of an object, merge it with other objects
that provide lift.
• In a merger of two companies, one “lifts” the other
with whatever its stronger features are (distribution
system, marketing, methods, capital, etc)
• Companies increase flagging sales by making
connections with other rising products (e.g. movie
tie-ins)
17. TRIZ Principles - In Practice
• Principle 6. Universality - in Construction
• Make a part or object perform multiple functions;
eliminate the need for other parts.
• Fire glass - glass with steel wire re-enforcement that
prevents release of broken glass upon breakage.
• Built-in wardrobes/cupboards/etc
• Velux windows - provide illumination, heat
insulation, ventilation and weather-proofing
18. TRIZ Principles - In Practice
• Principle 26. Copying - in Educational Institutions
• Instead of an unavailable, expensive, fragile books,
use simpler and inexpensive copies.
• Benchmark competitors. Copy their Best Practices.
• Borrow images or 3D simulations of items from local
museums, corporations, etc.
• Utilize teacher-made worksheets, to get Data rather
than re-inventing the wheel again
19. TRIZ Principles - In Practice
• Principle 27 - Cheap Short-Living Objects – in
Marketing
• Replace an expensive object or system with a multiple
of inexpensive objects or systems, compromising
certain qualities (such as service life, for instance).
• Inference statistics methods at survey: sampling
instead of census.
• Low paid, temporary staff (students, etc.) for
telemarketing and telephone survey.
20. TRIZ Principles - In Practice
• Principle 8. Anti-
Weight – in
Construction
• Builders of
Pyramids in
Ancient Egypt –
used Kites to
transport Heavy
stones to the site.
21. TRIZ Principles - In Practice
• Principle 5 – Consolidation – in Software Industry
• Do multiple operations in parallel
• Software Analogy: Make processes run in parallel
• Multitasking operation systems, multithreaded
applications, hyper-threading, multi processor
applications
• Some file sharing applications see that the requested
file is available at multiple remote PC’s. Different
chunks of the file can be downloaded from different
PC’s combining them locally.
23. • Essence of TRIZ is the recognition that
systems evolve towards the increase of
ideality by overcoming contradictions
mostly with minimal introduction of
resources.
• For creative problem solving, TRIZ helps
us - to understand the problem as a
system, to imagine the ideal solution
first, and to solve contradictions.
24. • Further Topics of study under TRIZ would be ARIZ –
Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving (85 Step by
Step procedures to solve any problem logically)
• Substance-Field Analysis – SuField Analysis
• USIT – Unified Structured Inventive Thinking
