Overview
GEN TRIZ’s Training Workshop presents a specific point of view on innovation and a roadmap for effectively identifying, realizing, and managing innovation opportunities. The training is primarily focused on the fundamental principles of systematic innovation utilizing selected analytical tools for problem identification and problem solving. It provides participants with fundamental skills for system analysis, selection of innovation targets, asking “the right question” and generating ideas.
Topics covered in this workshop:
Introduction
Main Parameters of Value (MPVs)
Function Analysis for Products
Cause Effect-Chains Analysis
Trimming for Products
Resolving Engineering Contradictions
Resolving Physical Contradictions
Description of Training Workshop: Format
The course is delivered online using a combination of lecture materials and interactive facilitated hands-on practice
Participants are organized in virtual teams to analyze and solve some canned problems (case studies) using GEN TRIZ’s “Innovation Navigator” software
Trainees work from home
Trainers provide lectures via Skype, Zoom, WebEx or other platform (multiple connections, shared screen)
During hands-on practice virtual teams may contact the trainer and ask questions, sharing a screen with him
Trainees complete the computerized test on the last session of the workshop

Innovation Navigator
GEN TRIZ proprietary software Innovation Navigator (IN) supports all stages of innovation projects: analysis of products and processes, problem identification, and problem solving.
Analytical part of IN includes the following modules:
• S-Curve Analysis
• Function Analysis for products
• Function Analysis for processes
• Cause-Effect Chain Analysis
• Trimming for products
• Trimming for processes
• Feature Transfer
The problem-solving part of IN includes the following modules
• Resolving of Engineering Contradictions
• Resolving of Physical Contradictions
• Application of Standard Inventive Solutions
IN proved its efficiency as an innovation tool for technical managers, engineers and researchers in applied sciences. Among Innovation Navigator software users are companies like General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, General Motors, Wrigley, Ingersoll-Rand, etc
