TRIZ for Engineers: Enabling Inventive Problem Solving

Engineering companies are increasingly acknowledging and acting upon the need to nurture innovation and creativity amongst their staff. Recognition and acceptance of TRIZ into mainstream engineering practice is growing fast, and it is estimated that in 5 years time it will have overtaken Six Sigma as a popular toolkit for innovative problem–solving. There is a need for a straightforward, simple and practical guide to understanding and implementing TRIZ, and with TRIZ for Engineers Karen Gadd draws upon her many years experience in teaching TRIZ effectively to achieve this.
