Learn TRIZ, a methodology developed by Genrick Altshuller for solving problems more efficiently and intuitively.
Notes from the Executive Director - My Feelings and Observations!
Welcome to the Altshuller Institute for TRIZ Studies
The purpose and function of the Altshuller Institute for TRIZ Studies
The Altshuller Institute for TRIZ Studies is a prestigious organization dedicated to promoting the study and application of TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving). Named after its founder, Genrich Altshuller, the institute serves as a hub for research, education, and collaboration in the field of TRIZ.
The primary purpose of the Altshuller Institute is to advance the understanding and utilization of TRIZ principles across various industries and domains. It fosters a community of TRIZ practitioners, researchers, and enthusiasts who are committed to new systems and driving innovation.
The Altshuller Institute also plays a crucial role in education and training. It provides a conduit to various educational programs, workshops, and seminars on TRIZ. These initiatives cater to individuals at all levels, from beginners seeking an introduction to TRIZ to experienced practitioners looking to deepen their knowledge. The institute collaborates with universities, research institutions, and industry partners to develop comprehensive training curricula and certifications.
Innovation and problem-solving are generic skills and can be applied across many different domains; make someone more effective in one domain, and they will also be more effective in others. Knowledge of TRIZ will help to increase the productivity of everyone who has some training in and practices this powerful methodology.
TRIZ will raise your level of thinking and provide insights into how the world works.
TRIZ can change your life forever!!!
Remember, you don't know, what you don't know!!!
TRIZCON2024, a premier global conference on TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving), on December 14-15, 2024, in Beijing, China. was a great first-time event.
The video of the two-day symposium is available for your viewing pleasure for only $99 USD. Order here!
The Altshuller Institute facilitates the training and support of two Bioengineering professors at Tulane University, New Orleans, LA. They were very excited about the TRIZ training provided and sought practical tools to help the students with their bioengineering projects.
"For the third year in a row, Tulane University is offering a TRIZ course as part of the Graduate Engineering Curriculum. Every year, about 15 students spanning 4 engineering disciplines learn the basics of TRIZ principles and sit for the certification exam to become TRIZ Associates. Graduates of the program typically become industry leaders in research, design, and manufacturing. As part of the course, students examine their past projects with the training they received and implement TRIZ conflict resolution, and compare their previous designs to the multitude of innovative solutions they could generate with the TRIZ framework." By Prof. Khaled Adjerid, Bioengineering Dept. Head
If other professors would like to know more about installing a TRIZ course to help their students succeed in their field of endeavor, just let us know. The Institute is ready to help you achieve your goals. TRIZ is a foundational methodology for technology innovation and is useful to all who become familiar with the tools and philosophy.
AI is seeking volunteers to help the Institute refocus its goals and mission in this new world. We need help with website support, social media marketing, and IT tech assistance. Your support would be greatly appreciated as we are in the process of renewing the AI website.
If you are interested in helping out, please email me. Thank you!

- It is very general.
- It is grounded in a reliable body of knowledge, the growing patent base.
- The scenarios it generates bypass the psychological inertia of team members.
- It can be used with other quality processes, removing roadblocks and speeding up decision-making.
- It reduces the resources required to generate a solution set.
- It is rapid in generating solution concepts, relative to other methods.
- It can be taught, and applied, at any level of education, from school children to management consultants to PhD scientists.
