"I found
your Designing and Manufacturing Better Products Faster Using TRIZ course stimulating and interesting. I found your approach
very rigorous - I am now a fan of your TOP approach versus S fields!! Also your function analysis piece is stronger than other
TRIZ courses I have been at."

" It has been
a pleasure using Zinovy Royzen, TRIZ Consulting, Inc. as our primary Basic TRIZ
trainer within Boeing. He provides our employees with a five-day Theory of Inventive
Problem Solving (TRIZ) workshop.
Mr. Royzen's workshop has provided training to approximately 450 of Boeing's
technology experts and engineers. He has provided them with the ability to apply this unique and systematic method of
solving complex problem. An example, is a TRIZ workshop solution developed for the 767 Tanker (air-to-air
refueling) aircraft project. As a result of that TRIZ solution, the program was successfully launched with a
customer who preferred the TRIZ solution over the competitions solution for the
same system, thereby ordering aircraft from Boeing.
TRIZ Consulting, Inc. is highly recommended as a TRIZ
trainer in the Fundamental/Basic as well as Advanced TRIZ Methodology."

"I
wanted to thank you again for helping us quickly develop concepts for a new
product development and for your flexibility in scheduling.
It is clear that through the application of TRIZ we were able to generate more
concepts in two days than the contracted inventors were able to accomplish in
over a year.
We are looking forward to future opportunities with you in the area of
consulting and training."

"I
have attended hundreds of hours of technical and facilitation training over the
past 12 years, and I would rate Zinovy's five-day TRIZ class as being in the top
three best for his excellent organization and presentation of material.
Zinovy's training materials and approach bring clarity and simplicity to a topic
that has been "clouded" by 56 years of evolution and differing opinion
on how to apply TRIZ. His course workbook is one of the best I have seen
for enabling an attendee to apply what they have learned after the training. His
subject expertise comes through clearly in the numerous examples he uses from
his personal experience with TRIZ. I have read various TRIZ books and
articles and seen presentations on TRIZ from other sources and quite frankly,
until I attended Zinovy's class, I was confused about many aspects of TRIZ.
Zinovy's
five-day course "Designing and Manufacturing Better Products Faster
Using TRIZ" answered all of my questions in a way that is systematic,
practical and does not require special computer software to perform.
When I was
asking around for a useful TRIZ class to attend, Leslie Enerson of Bobcat
Company told me that "If you just want a warm fuzzy feeling about how good
TRIZ can be, you can attend just about anyone's class, but if you want to
actually be able to do something with what you learn, the only class to attend
is Zinovy's." I am sending
this email to my friends to tell that she was absolutely right!"
"I give it the strongest possible recommendation for anyone working in applied research and development,
product or process engineering and design, manufacturing process improvement or problem solving in any industry or discipline. It was one of the most
useful problem solving courses, and one of the most well organized training courses I have attended during my 20 years in engineering and manufacturing.
TRIZ would provide excellent support for enterprise wide programs,
such as Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma."

"Dear
Mr. Royzen:
I am so glad that I attended your class in Seattle, Washington. I have
been following the TRIZ development for some time. I like the way you conducting
your teaching and more importantly. I also think that you made good contribution
on developing TRIZ towards an exact science.
Your TOP
(Tool-Object-Product) model is much cleaner than original substance-field model
for functions, and based on this new model of functions, you can actually
reduced the number of standard solutions, and make those solutions more
independent from subject-of-matter knowledge. This is a 'trimming of unnecessary
functions' of original TRIZ, make it more coherent and easier to use. Also, this
new model for functions are very compatible with other commonly used function
definitions of other field, such as value engineering, axiomatic design.
So eventually, it will make TRIZ easier to be integrated with other methods.
Thank you again!"

"I
must say that I've really enjoyed your course; it was one of the most
interesting courses I've attended in my professional life. If there are people
that want to follow a TRIZ course, I'll surely recommend them your course.

“Dear
Mr. Royzen,
Congratulations on rating among the top 10 percent of more than 200 short course instructors from industry, government and academia who lectured for UCLA Extension last year! The data was recently complied from our performance evaluations for fiscal year 1998/1999.
Because UCLA Extension serves a public audience, we placed a strong emphasis on the teaching skills of our instructors. This is especially important in our computer science, engineering and technical management short courses where participants come from all over U.S. and abroad to gain important insights into state-of-the-art technology and methodology. Since industry professionals look to academic institutions to provide such insight, we greatly appreciate your assistance in meeting the challenge. Thank you again for this impressive performance, and I look forward to working with you in the future.”

“We have an Internal Consulting group, that Zinovy Royzen spent five and one-half days with of very thorough instruction. The last half day was spent on actual projects. It was very productive.
Zinovy also spent two days with one of the consultants and me, with respective engineers on actual projects. Again the results were very rewarding.
We especially enjoyed and appreciated his systematic approach to innovation and creativity, with the use of TRIZ. We have experienced other individuals and their approaches with TRIZ. Zinovy Royzen isespecially good with helping you define and solve very specific problems and opportunities.”

"I consider myself fortunate and
honored to learn TRIZ from you. I enjoyed the
class last week very much. You have made TRIZ
much clearer and much easier to understand. In
fact, I think your "TOP" model is even better than the original! I especially like your flow charts and
worksheets. They are great tools and make TRIZ much easier to apply.

"I am completely sold on TRIZ is not the complete solution to working the problems the Agency faces but should be implemented as one of the "tools" available. Out of several TRIZ promoters I have had contact with, Zinovy is the best. His credentials are impeccable. He is also one of the few people I know of who are actively contributing to the science of TRIZ. We are continuing our work with Zinovy with a workshop this week at MSFC. We started this with a couple of training sessions last year with a number of MSFC employees and representatives from industry (vehicle and engine primes). I am convinced that TRIZ is real and could be of significantly benefit to NASA."

"In every science or subject there
is always one individual or one document that sets the standard for all the rest. If you are an aspiring TRIZ wiz that work is
Zinovy Royzen'' 5-day course. I consider it

“I enjoyed the TRIZ seminar very
much and I am very enthusiastic about applying the methods to problems of my own. I think the field of engineering will benefit
greatly from TRIZ in the future as more people become aware of its usefulness. The instructor was very well organized and the
material was well presented and thoroughly covered with excellent use of examples. It was particularly exciting when the examples
presented were not just past inventions, but inventions that the instructor had himself
discovered using TRIZ techniques. Additionally,
the techniques and algorithms that are used to solve the problems are organized so clearly
in the handout material that even a beginner could pick it up and start applying these
methods. I would highly recommend this
seminar instructed by Mr. Royzen.”

“After your 5 days-lesson I
started to use your course materials for problem solving and it is really fascinating to
see how accurately it leads you to new concepts. For the first time I realized what
systematic inventive problem solving means and how it really works. Thank you very much
for making this available for everybody.”
