Testimonials

“I appreciate the instruction and the easy exchange of information. This was positive. It was interesting and engaging to interact with others like me in the classroom setting.”
B. Myrehn, Eli Lilly, USA

“Good application of tools for our Value Engineering program. I plan to include some of the tools as part of our VE curriculum.”
F. Padron, Cameron, USA

“It was a great course. It will take some time to integrate the terminology differences, but I look forward to using TRIZ problem solving tools in the future.”
M. Wootten, DRS Technologies, USA

“Great course – a good starting point for me. I would not have made as much progress on my own. Face-to-face interaction & ability to have Q&A was valuable.”
Prof. L. Gilbertson, Tulane University, USA

“Excellent information! Well worth the time and travel to learn this methodology.”
C. Johnson, Fesco Systems, USA

“I found the content of the presentation to be very interesting, not only because of its relevance to helping engineers improve their ability to problem-solve, but also because I am innovating with new types of knowledge rather than patents. I found the idea of actively searching for and resolving the contradiction of a system to be an applicable method to innovating in other non-technical systems.”
J. Cromwell, Harvard Business School, USA

“This workshop provided an excellent opportunity to learn TRIZ. The content was rich – both broadly applied and in-depth. The format was engaging in bridging theory and practice.”
M. Pierce, Oregon Institute of Technology, USA

“Upon completing your Workshop, I can say that my mind was infected with TRIZ, and I cannot look at the world the same way I looked at it before. TRIZ applications are all around me.”
K. Worrest, MilTech, USA

“Perspective and methodologies are illuminating and practically useful. I look forward to employing this knowledge.”
J. LaCarrubba, Stericycle, Inc. USA

“I just initiated my application of TRIZ to a real-world, Hamilton Beach problem. I was able to determine two realistic ideas to explore. Solutions in minutes.”
M. Garman, Hamilton Beach, USA

“Excellent interaction between class members and the instructor. Discussion and reflection are required to settle the material and the concepts.”
Poulsen, Innovation Manager, GEA, Denmark

“Training was relevant to helping engineers improve their ability to problem-solve. I also found many of the underlying lessons informative for my own unique type of innovation, where I am innovating with new types of knowledge rather than new patents. I found the idea of actively searching for and resolving contradictions of systems to be applicable to innovating in other non-technical systems.”
J. Cromwell, Harvard Business School, Doctoral Student

“Great interactivity – rarely felt like a lecture. Examples we did were excellent at illustrating the benefits of TRIZ.”
Pinc, Research Scientist, Owens-Illinois

“I found the methodology (TRIZ) to be incredibly useful from a technical standpoint and absolutely fascinating from an academic standpoint.”
Johnathan Cromwell, Doctoral Student, Management, Harvard Business School

“TRIZ can help technical innovation in a systematic way and help corporations and individuals reach their peak potential.”
Daniel Burrus, Burrus Research Associates, Inc.

“TRIZ is a treasure.”
George Prince, Co-founder of Synnectics, Inc.

“TRIZ provides a turbo-powered additive to anyone’s thought process for creating change.”
Jerry L. Spight, President, Prizm Q, Inc.

“The true power of TRIZ cannot be measured by words alone, for it is such a diverse multidimensional methodology… The ultimate worldwide impact of TRIZ upon technology-driven businesses could easily match the impact of CAD systems on new product design.”
James P. Dunn, Co-Executive Director, Center for Technology Commercialization, NASA Regional Technology Transfer Office
