"I have been introduced to TRIZ first time in 1973 when I read the book “The Innovation Algorithm” written by Genrich Altshuller, a founder of TRIZ methodology. Zinovy was one out of 65 people certified by Genrich Altshuller as TRIZ Masters, and that was why I took an opportunity to go through his basic TRIZ course in 2005. It was a stunning discovery for me, when I found that TOP-TRIZ, enhanced by Zinovy, produced strong technical solutions in far more clear way compared to classical TRIZ. I went through his Advanced Course in 2006 and TRIZ Practitioner Course in 2007. I routinely use TRIZ, developing “out of the box” technical solutions. Working for my company for 20 years I have been awarded with 31 patents, and I believe TRIZ methodology was a significant part of that. I would strongly recommend taking Zinovy’s TRIZ course to any innovative individual."

"I have never appreciated another professional development engineering course as much as the three courses I took from Zinovy. The courses are immensely practical. I have applied the methods I was taught in all aspects of my engineering profession and even in my personal life. To say that the training changed the way I think about problems is an understatement. The TRIZ methodology taught by Zinovy provides structure to problem solving that would otherwise be dealt with using inefficient, random brainstorming. His courses are ideal for those who appreciate systematic methods of approaching problems. Problem solving becomes more effective and efficient as the method guides you through all possible solutions to the problem you are dealing with.
What was particularly valuable about Zinovy’s training, as opposed to training from other individuals, is that he has developed and teaches the Tool-Object-Product model. This TOP model is much more logical and complete than the substance-field model more commonly taught. The materials provided in the courses are now an integral and valuable part of my engineering library."

"The Basic TRIZ training course provided by Zinovy, uses his algorithmic flow and user friendly methods to guide the student through problem formulation, classification, and solution using the appropriate TRIZ tools to determine the best solution concepts. The course material is very well organized with examples detailing the use of each tool or principle. I found the course comprehensive and challenging. The Advance and Practitioner courses taught me greater understanding and developed my ability to apply TRIZ to real life problems. Since the Practitioner course I've applied TRIZ to solve problems, lead TRIZ workshops, and made presentations on the theory and benefits of TRIZ. In that time, Zinovy has continued to be an excellent mentor for me. I highly recommend his courses."

"Spirit AeroSystems has a number of employees that have taken Zinovy Royzen’s courses entitled “Designing and Manufacturing Better Products Faster Using TRIZ” and “Advanced Practice TRIZ”. Only through this training, a complex engine nacelle service issue was resolved very eloquently without expensive hardware changes. Being able to reach an eloquent resolution is a testament to the value of Zinovy’s TRIZ methodology and training expertise. TRIZ is also an integral part of Spirit’s Six Sigma projects. It provides the focus and understanding of the issue at hand to minimize team confusion and course deviations."
