With Systematic Innovation: An Introduction to TRIZ, readers learn how to stop seeing conflicts as insurmountable barriers and instead celebrate them as opportunities for improvement and refinement of the design process. The book introduces the key elements of TRIZ and the man behind the theory, Genrich Altschuller. It shows how creativity can be harnessed and controlled in a systematic process. The book includes an Innovative Situation Questionnaire to use in gathering and organizing information for problem solving, a contradiction table of 1201 analogous problems, and a glossary of terms that helps readers to master the language of TRIZ.
