Engineering companies are increasingly acknowledging and acting upon the need to nurture innovation and creativity amongst their staff. Recognition and acceptance of TRIZ into mainstream engineering practice is growing fast, and it is estimated that in 5 years’ time it will have overtaken Six Sigma as a popular toolkit for innovative problem-solving. There is a need for a straightforward, simple and practical guide to understanding and implementing TRIZ, and with TRIZ for Engineers Karen Gadd draws upon her many years’ experience in teaching TRIZ effectively to achieve this. The book is illustrated throughout with cartoons commissioned by Gadd that illustrate the various concepts and techniques discussed and bring the theory to life. What is TRIZ? TRIZ originated in Russia, and the acronym itself comes from Russian terminology. TRIZ provides tools and methods for use in problem formulation, system analysis and failure analysis. Leading companies in sectors including aerospace, automotive, electronics and increasingly biomedical research, medicine and computer programming are implementing TRIZ to systematically solve complex technical and organizational problems. Karen Gadd is the Director of Oxford Creativity, www.triz.co.uk, a company that she formed in 1999 and whose consultants travel regularly to leading corporate clients throughout the UK and Europe to deliver innovation problem-solving sessions and TRIZ training.
