Problem solving is often a skill that we assume we will simply pick up. It’s not a subject that is expressly taught. We change that here.
The Zen of Problem Solving The Path of no Resistance
There are seemingly intractable problems that often have a simple solution. Finding the solution is an obscure, hidden and not terribly-well-marked path. Explore how to find your path through the problems that you face.
TRIZ Take II: Learn HOW to Create New Ideas Using TRIZ
A deeper dive into TRIS, and key concepts of how to apply it to solve difficult and challenging problems. Understand your ideal final result, the resources you need and have available and how to manage and eliminate contradictions.
TRIZ, Patterns and Metaphors
Within the world of problem solving, TRIZ is a less well-known framework. Which is important, because it is a very powerful and useful one.
Getting Unstuck
We think of problems as being very different from each other, and therefore requiring different approaches to solve them. But what if most problems actually had a very similar structure, and a similar way of successfully resolving them?
