03 / VOICES

From practitioners who completed this very program.

Selected from correspondence with course alumni at Boeing, Hewlett Packard, Philips Semiconductors and Melroe / Ingersoll-Rand — engineers who now use the method as a daily working tool.

“
I had the opportunity and privilege of completing three of Zinovy's TRIZ classes and earned the TRIZ Practitioner certificate. I have used TRIZ for several years now. My most common use is to lead a team through an idea generation activity for challenging problems. I have arrived at elegant solutions on about 20% of the problems that I undertake. In one case I arrived at a solution in 15 minutes that not only avoided a long and costly qualification, but provided twice the benefit at a low incremental cost. TRIZ has permeated my thinking — I see innovations and problems through a new lens.

It has been a pleasure using TRIZ Consulting, Inc. as our primary Basic TRIZ trainer within Boeing — providing approximately 450 of Boeing's technology experts and engineers with the ability to apply this unique and systematic method. An example is a TRIZ workshop solution developed for the 767 Tanker (air-to-air refueling) project, as a result of which the program was successfully launched with a customer who preferred the TRIZ solution over the competition's. Highly recommended in Fundamental, Basic and Advanced TRIZ.

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 is especially good with helping you define and solve very specific problems and opportunities.
