[1] TRIZ Forum: Letters from ReadersFeb. - Apr. 2017

[1A] [English page]

Tomasz Arciszewski (USA), Czeslaw Cempel (Poland), Simon Litvin (USA), Pavel Livotov (ETRIA President), Oliver Mayer (Germany), Michal Halas (Poland), William Hessler (USA), Shahid Saleem Arshard (Australia); Toru Nakagawa (OGU)

On request from S. Litvin, I wrote a document of my whole activities related to TRIZ and Creative Problem Solving Methodology at OGU (See a separate page [1C] ).

For writing Introductions of ETRIA TFC2016 papers, I sent a request to many TFC2016 authors for sending me their presentation slides.

And I received a message from ETRIA President to note the copyrights issues of the papers.

I confirmed that Papers in English are not posted/cited because ETRIA is going to publish them officially in spring NEXT year and that Slides in English may be posted/cited under Author's permissions and Papers and Slides in Japanese translation are allowed to be posted/cited.

I explained these points to the Authors and posted my Introductions of 17 TFC2016 papers on Mar. 30 under their permissions.

W. Hessler suggested me to make my Web site design easier to read and more user-friendly, especially for beginners.

I want to make this Web site, however, up-to-date, reliable, and high-quality source of information of TRIZ and Creative problem solving methodology in general.

For making such an intention compatible with user-friendliness, I have been trying to implement various measures; they are summarized here again in reply.

Probably it will be most effective from now on to insert more photos (such as people in conferences, authors of articles, flowers in seasons, etc.).

I would like to ask you, the readers, to contribute articles and give suggestions to this Web site.

Mr. O; Akihiro Katahira; Toru Nakagawa (OGU)

Mr. O, who is going to introduce TRIZ in his company, asked me about the position of TRIZ among various idea generation methods.

I replied that methods of creative problem solving are more important than simple, short-cut oriented idea-generation methods.

Such methodology has been developed recently by improving/generalizing TRIZ.

The concept of 'Six-Box Scheme' and easy process USIT should be learnt, by using USIT Manual and USIT Case Studies.

I just introduced the essence of what are discussed repeatedly in this Web site.
