Contradiction Resolution with TRIZ and ASIT

Description

Your technological, scientific or organisational challenges almost always hide a contradiction: speed up without losing reliability, cut costs without degrading quality, simplify without limiting functionality. These contradictions seem unsolvable - and that is precisely where most teams settle for compromise.

Yet the great innovations around us were born from the elegant resolution of such contradictions. TRIZ decoded these mechanisms across thousands of patents. ASIT makes them accessible and extends them beyond technology: process, logistics, organisation. In one day, learn to reframe your challenges as contradictions and solve them - without compromise.

Contradiction Resolution with TRIZ and ASIT

Training objective

This training teaches you to resolve contradictions by combining TRIZ and ASIT approaches. You will discover how to reframe a problem as contradiction(s), then use the TRIZ matrix and ASIT tools (qualitative change, unification) to generate innovative solutions without compromise.

From technical to organisational contradictions

TRIZ was designed for technical and scientific contradictions. With ASIT, the approach extends to process, logistics and organisation. In one day, you acquire a repeatable method for tackling any complex problem through the lens of contradictions.

Typical applications

  • Resolve a technical contradiction (performance vs reliability, cost vs quality...)
  • Solve a blocking scientific or R&D problem
  • Use the TRIZ matrix to identify suitable inventive principles
  • Apply ASIT tools (qualitative change, unification) on real cases
  • Extend the approach to process, logistical or organisational contradictions

Learning objectives
