TRIZ metod

• TRIZ is a system of laws and principles for
  inventive problem solving developed from the
  analysis of successful patents.
• Key principles of TRIZ are
• 1. The evolution of engineering systems is not a
  random process, but obeys certain laws.
• 2. Innovation usually occurs when technical
  systems are evolved to overcome contradictions,
  most often by using more minimal resources.
• 3. Most fundamental technical tasks have already
  been solved. A solution exists for gt99 of all
  problems, often in other disciplines or contexts.
  Innovative problem solving occurs when a prior
  solution is found and modified to fit new
  requirements.
• 4. Inventiveness and creativity can be taught.
