Abstract:
Possible reasons for making the introduction of TRIZ into
western industrial countries slow are discussed. It is suggested that the
presentation of the huge body of TRIZ knowledge and methodology has screened
its essence and has overwhelmed the learners. For solving this difficulty, the
author's understanding of the essence of TRIZ is presented in 50 words and
explained briefly. The needs of simpler and clearer procedures are argued for
solving problems creatively with the spirits of TRIZ. The author finds that
USIT (Unified Structured Inventive Thinking) developed by Ed Sickafus is a good
candidate for such a simplified TRIZ procedure. Hence he explains the USIT
procedure in relation to the essence of TRIZ and demonstrates his practices of
training/applying USIT in Japan.
