| unified structured inventive thinking: Inventive Thinking through TRIZ Michael A. Orloff, 2006-10-07 A secure future has to be the goal and motivation of every attempt at progress and of all politics. Engineers, teachers, and scientists can assume a part of their personal responsibility in such attempts. We should all search for organizational and technical possibilities individually and with our fellow professionals that can help avoid technogenic - and therefore - sociogenic catastrophes. When we consider the extremely short time for inventions and the practical - plication of essential ideas, it is not enough to rely on the methods for finding new ideas that our wonderful, yet so imperfect civilization has created. Perhaps this civilization is sometimes so deficient because the methods that have shaped it are imperfect. Who controls the development of humanity? Can we really make a reliable prognosis about our best way into the future? How can sociogenic, geogenic, and cosmic catastrophes be avoided? How can we insure the progress and security of coming generations? TRIZ teaches us how to make inventions! TRIZ teaches us how to construct the future! TRIZ changes your thinking, i.e., all of civilization, too! Rational decisions about the problems above cannot be made today without the use of TRIZ. |
| unified structured inventive thinking: Inside the Box Drew Boyd, Jacob Goldenberg, 2013-06-06 Current business wisdom holds that to forge a powerfully original solution to problems, we must think outside the box. But, as Goldenberg and Boyd reveal, based on expertise and experience in both corporate and academic worlds, this is utterly wrong. It may seem counterintuitive - but faster, better and more original innovation and creativity comes from working inside your familiar world. The newest and most inventive ideas are much closer than you think, and can be found by using five simple techniques - subtraction, task, unification, multiplication, division and attribute dependency. This strategy helped Philips use subtraction to create the slim-line DVD players we use today, while attribute dependency allowed Domino's Pizza to corner the market with their thirty-minute delivery promise. These strategies can be used by anyone, from CEOs of multinational companies to the Chilean miners' rescue team and even leading jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, who actually restricts the range of his instrument to induce increased creativity. Intuitive, revelatory and easy-to-implement, these ideas will help you find the creative streak you never knew you had. |

| unified structured inventive thinking: Lean Software Strategies Peter Middleton, James Sutton, 2020-03-06 Lean production, which has radically benefited traditional manufacturing, can greatly improve the software industry with similar methods and results. This transformation is possible because the same overarching principles that apply in other industries work equally well in software development. The software industry follows the same industrial concepts of production as those applied in manufacturing; however, the software industry perceives itself as being fundamentally different and has largely ignored what other industries have gained through the application of lean techniques. |

| unified structured inventive thinking: Plan to Pivot Gerry Starsia, 2021-10-19 Plan to Pivot shares firsthand stories that demonstrate the urgency and uniqueness of current operating conditions, and a new way to design and lead organizations. In a total career pivot to higher education, in an executive role at one of the world’s finest public universities, Gerry Starsia was surprised to find that in general, there was little interest in planning or systems or measuring operating performance. This reality drove him to focus his academic research and writing in the realms of planning and strategy, measurement, and performance. Gerry’s hope is to combine the lessons learned in the corporate and academic worlds with first person case studies, so others can learn from his successes, missteps, wins and losses. The speed of information flow, globalization, massive amounts of data, artificial intelligence, economic forces, and changing demographics are all factors that need attention and consideration as organizations decide what to do, how to do it, and when to stop doing what they are doing and pivot towards opportunities and success. By applying the principles of agile project management to strategic planning, implementation, measurement, and strategy adjustment laid out in Plan to Pivot, organizations develop the muscle memory necessary to observe markets and consumer demands, connect deeply with customers, and bring products and services to consumers in order to deliver value more efficiently than competitors. |
| unified structured inventive thinking: On the Origin of Products Arthur O. Eger, Huub Ehlhardt, 2018-02-15 In this new work, Arthur O. Eger and Huub Ehlhardt present a 'Theory of Product Evolution'. They challenge the popular notion that we owe the availability of products solely to genius inventors. Instead, they present arguments that show that a process of variation, selection, and accumulation of 'know-how' (to make) and 'know-what' (function to realize) provide an explanation for the emergence of new types of products and their subsequent development into families of advanced versions. This theory employs a product evolution diagram as an analytical framework to reconstruct the development history of a product family and picture it as a graphical narrative. The authors describe the relevant literature and case studies to place their theory in context. The 'Product Phases Theory' is used to create predictions on the most likely next step in the evolution of a product, offering practical tools for those involved in new product development. |

| unified structured inventive thinking: SOCIAL SYSTEMS AND TRANSFORMATION OF SOCIETY Patrick K. Kalifungwa, 2025-03-19 All knowledge including the most basic, taken for-granted common sense knowledge of everyday reality, is derived from and maintained by social interaction. In their model, people interact on the understanding that their perceptions of everyday life are shared with others, and this common knowledge of reality is in turn reinforced by this interaction. Social structure can also be said to be the framework upon which a society is established. It determines the norms and patterns of relations between the various institutions of the society. Social norms are believed to influence social structures through relations between the majority and the minority. As those who align with majority are considered ‘normal’ and those who align with the minority are considered ‘abnormal’ majority-minority relations create a hierarchical stratification within social structures that favors the majority in all aspects of society. Social theory by definition is used, to make distinctions and generalizations among different types of societies, and to analyze modernity as it has emerged in the past few centuries. Social thought provides general theories to explain actions and behavior of society as a whole, encompassing sociological, political, and philosophical ideas. Social transformation in this context requires a shift in collective consciousness of a society-local, state, national or global – so that reality is refined by consensus. This often happens by external stimulus and sometimes intentionally. Social transformations are such when they sustain overtime where attitudes and values are held in a completely new context (or paradigm) based upon different assumptions and beliefs. Mindset is an “established set of attitudes, especially regarded as typical of a particular group, social or cultural values, the outlook, philosophy, or values of a person, (now also more generally) frame of mind, attitude frecte and) disposition. A mindset may also arise from a person’s world view or philosophy of life, Ideas are just thoughts, but implementing and acting on these ideas in our own lives is what will make it habitual, and allowing a change in mind set. |

| unified structured inventive thinking: Innovation mit TRIZ Carsten Gundlach, 2006 Unter Popkritikern ist es Brauch, alles doof zu finden, was Massenappeal hat. Unter Ingenieuren scheint es ein ähnliches Phänomen zu geben, wie dieses Buch zeigt: ein Steckenpferd und Vorbild so verquast zu preisen, dass es schwerfällt, nicht entgeistert abzuwinken. So läuft die TRIZ-Methode Gefahr, weiterhin zu dem Nischendasein verdammt zu sein, das die Autoren dieses Sammelbandes immer wieder beklagen. Die Herausgeber Gundlach und Nähler stürzen sich schon nach wenigen Seiten dermaßen ins Fachchinesisch, dass jedes Interesse an TRIZ auf eine harte Probe gestellt wird. Viele andere Beiträge in dem Sammelband sind ähnlich selbstgefällig und hermetisch. Schade eigentlich, denn hinter TRIZ verbirgt sich ein attraktives Versprechen: Innovation als plan- und strukturierbarer Prozess. Praxisbeispiele belegen, wie dieses Versprechen erfüllt werden kann. getAbstract empfiehlt das Buch allen Ingenieuren und Managern, die unbedingt wissen wollen, was es mit TRIZ auf sich hat. |
