Systematic Creativity and TRIZ basics

It is an online course for all interested in algorithms of systematic creativity. We will learn algorithms for step-by-step heuristics, conceptual design, new patentable ideas. Course modules are modern TRIZ and other analytical tools that have proven their efficiency in the industry.

Have you ever thought why it is hard to find an idea that can save a product, project or business? How to analyze the situation where you need an out of box solution? How to deliver systematically the list of patentable concepts to improve a product or a service? How to circumvent patents of competitors and develop IP strategy?

There are videos with a theoretical part in the course, interactive quizzes and problems. There are 50+ examples of smart new product design, technology troubleshooting and inventive solutions, many of which are coming from success and failure stories of technological giants. Most cases originate from engineering domain, although basic knowledge like how car breaks work and what is inside a refrigerator...except food ;).
