Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ)
methodology for the systematic search for solutions to complex problems (more often engineering and technical problems). The main idea is to identify and resolve contradictions that prevent the system from working effectively. TRIZ offers a systematic approach to finding solutions using proven methods and tools. The theory was developed by the Soviet engineer-inventor Genrikh Altshuller, who analyzed a large number of inventive patents in order to find patterns in the process of solving engineering problems and the emergence of new ideas. The first publication of TRIZ was issued by Altshuller and Rafael Shapiro in 1956. In psychology, it is used as a tool for the development of creativity and creativity.
