The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving – often referred to by its Russian acronym, TRIZ – is an analytical and algorithm-based science rooted in the study of more than 3 million patents. Since Conley literally co-wrote the book on TRIZ ( Simplified TRIZ , Third Edition ), I asked him for some tips any leader could apply immediately. Since none of us exist in an ideal state, we all can use a little TRIZ.

Digging a little deeper into the US-specific data, we can also see that the more future oriented term "Open Innovation" and the current in-vogue term "Design Thinking" are beginning to close on the very tools-based term " TRIZ " in the United States.

Harvard Business Review

TRIZ , for example — a model devised by Russian inventor Genrich Altshuller — is the original empirically based method, followed by SIT (for "Systematic Inventive Thinking") and a few other updated versions of it. Of the 40 methods spelled out by the TRIZ approach, 8 involve what we would term scarcity. How should an enterprise go about inventing something novel and useful? Is there a structured thinking process that reliably produces results?
