It is a course for all interested in creativity, in systematic tools of ideation. The modules contain basic and modern TRIZ (Theory for Inventive Problem Solving) tools for idea generation and other analytical tools that have proven their efficiency in the industry. Have you ever thought why it is hard to find an idea that can save a product, project or business? How to analyze the situation where you need an out of box solution? How to deliver systematically the list of patentable concepts to improve a product or a service? How to circumvent patents of competitors and develop IP strategy? The course includes the following modules: Introduction Basics of patenting Function definition Ideal final result Function-oriented search and biomimetics Contradictions Function modelling and trimming Cause-effect chain analysis Trends of engineering system evolution Axiomatic design Design for manufacturing and assembly Conclusion There are about 20 case studies and 100+ examples of smart new product design, technology troubleshooting and inventive solutions, many of which are coming from success and failure stories of technological giants. Most cases originate from engineering domain, although basic knowledge like how car brakes work and what is inside a refrigerator...except food plus curiosity are enough to follow most.

It is an online course for all interested in creativity, in systematic tools of ideation. The modules contain basic TRIZ (Theory for Inventive Problem Solving) tools for idea generation. Have you ever thought why it is hard to find a new idea sometimes? How to analyze the situation where you need an out of box solution? How to deliver systematically the list of concepts to improve a product or a service? This self-paced course includes the following modules: Introduction Function Definition Ideal Final Result Function-oriented Search Contradictions This course is a brief introduction to creativity and idea generation with elements of theory, everyday life examples and tests for self-check. If you want to dive deeper into TRIZ and tools for idea generation, we would be happy to invite you to instructor-paced Inventive Product Design and Advanced TRIZ course.
