The focus of this project is the preparation of specialists for System Development and Evolution at the academic level. Leading TRIZ companies and consultants deliver TRIZ as a complete and harmonic system in combination with other proven system development methods such as Value Analysis, Value Engineering, Root-cause Analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, Hybrid System Design, Lean Manufacturing, Design for Six Sigma, Quality Function Deployment and so on. We call this system of integrated methodologies the Technology of Innovation for System Development and Evolution.
Currently, the Technology of Innovation for System Development and Evolution, based on TRIZ, is a profession for only a few engineers and scientists. We have not yet described a system for preparing such specialists beyond the accumulation of individual experience. Globally, only 40 universities use TRIZ as a recommended course (for a maximum of 4 credits) or lecture. Only a few companies prepare TRIZ specialists through corporate development programs and offer training by allowing opportunities for applying TRIZ in project development and problem solving.
Our intention for the future is that the Technology of Innovation for System Development and Evolution becomes an academic specialty, one like mechanical engineering, electronic and electrical engineering, and so on.
