TRIZ, Patterns and Metaphors NOON January 25th 2010 EST

  

Happy New Year! Time to push some boundaries!

  

There's a body of Problem Solving knowledge called 'TRIZ', that is almost unknown in most circles. It's unknown even to those who are familiar with people/methodologies like Kepner-Tregoe, Osborne & Parnes, Wicklegren and Polya. Here I speak with some experience because even though I studied PS in University I was mostly oblivious to TRIZ until fairly recently.

  

While I am by no means an expert in TRIZ, I barely qualify as a novice... I know enough to introduce others to what it's about and why it might be the most undervalued way of thinking about the world and the problems we encounter.

  

In a Nutshell? TRIZ is the means by which we can stop re-inventing the Wheel.

  

In this session I'll explore a very small subset of TRIZ concepts, the thinking behind TRIZ and some personal opinions on why it isn't currently the next 'big thing'.

  

If you already know something about TRIZ? Attend to ensure I'm not leading the world astray! I don't think I'll be doing that - but that's the problem with ignorance.

  

If you've never heard of TRIZ AND if you solve problems as a part of your life? Then attend so that I can introduce you to a new world of problem solving strategies.

  

And if neither of the above are good enough reasons? Then attend just because I rarely(?) waste your time.

  

My Guarantee? To not waste your time. To offer some ideas that you can put to work tomorrow.

  

This Webinar (60 minutes) is scheduled for January 25th 2010 at NOON EST.

  

Arrive a bit early... I'm always on at least an hour in advance and it's a great time to catch up with old, and new, friends.
