What is TRIZ?
TRIZ is a premier disruptive technology for innovation that can be used throughout many industries and sciences. TRIZ is a systematic process that develops critical thinking skills and promote creativity and innovation. Elements of TRIZ can be effectively used by a wide range of people -- from children to adults. The genesis of TRIZ is derived from empirical data, patents. The documentation of how inventive people solved inventive problems.
TRIZ (pronounced TREEZ) is the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. This proven algorithmic approach to solving technical problems began in 1946 when the Russian engineer and scientist Genrikh Altshuller studied thousands of patents and noticed certain patterns. From these patterns he discovered that the evolution of a technical system is not a random process, but is governed by certain objective laws. These laws can be used to consciously develop a system along its path of technical evolution - by determining and implementing innovations.

Benefits of TRIZ
I would like to say couple words about my understanding of TRIZ and TRIZ Technology for Innovation. I have reviewed my previous statements and wish to clarify my points.
1. TRIZ is a science of system development based on laws of systems evolution and the best practices of thousands of developers and scientists
2. TRIZ helps to realize the privilege and obligation each member of our society has to be a creative person and to live a creative life. At some point in the past, someone did something that makes our lives today more comfortable. We, in turn, should do something useful for the world now and for generations to come.
3. TRIZ increases the speed of system development and evolution. This is a primary a global function of TRIZ because technological evolution reflects and propels the development of our civilization.

In order to elevate TRIZ to a larger stage, the development of a viable certification program is required. Therefore, the Altshuller Institute (AI), spearheaded this initiative defining a universal set of guidelines so that TRIZ terms will have the same meaning regardless of where the TRIZ user was trained.
To this end, Victor Fey, the Institute's Education Director and the Certification Board (CB) have begun to develop guidelines for certification. The first phase was to indentify and compile a body of TRIZ “classical” knowledge that would be accepted by AI, MATRIZ and ETRIA. Victor Fey from AI and Simon Litvin from MATRIZ spend many months to develop this mutually acceptable body of knowledge.
