TRIZ PRINCIPLES
Genrich Altshuller (1926 –1998)
created the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving
(TRIZ is Russian acronym)
1. Engineering systems evolve
according to objective laws and
regularities.
2. Problems appearing during the
engineering system evolution
can be solved by the
elimination of contradiction.

Inventive Problem – a situation,
when a person (engineer) does not

problem.

CONTRADICTION CONCEPT
Contradiction is a situation when usage (with improvement)
of known solution allows to meets some requirement(s), but
generates harmful or undesirable effect(s).
In business systems a contradiction appears as a conflict of
stakeholder interests.

SOLUTION IDEAS
Personalization engine can generate report containing attributes and data on why
some hotels are losing to selected hotels.
1
This data can be used by hotel owners to improve their value proposition for
customers.
2
This data can be used by Hotel Group to involve new customers who will prefer
options provided by unloaded hotels

1. The scientific method is a body
of techniques for
investigating phenomena, acquiring
new knowledge, or correcting and
integrating previous knowledge.
[Garland, Jr., Theodore. The scientific
method as an ongoing process.]
2. The scientific method is a method or
procedure that has characterized
natural science since the 17th century,
consisting in systematic observation,
measurement, and experiment, and the
formulation, testing, and modification
of hypothesis.
[Oxford Dictionaries]

SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS
Heliocentric world
•Copernicus, heliocentricworld
•Kepler, laws of planetary motion
Mechanical world
•Galileo, the principle of inertia
•Descartes, coordinate system, analytic geometry
•Newton, the laws of mechanics, the fundamentals of theoretical physics
Dialectical world
•Kant, the dialectic
•Darwin, The Origin of Species
•Lomonosov, the law of conservation of energy & substance
Relativistic world
•Rutherford, Bohr, model of the atom
•Einstein, Theory of Relativity

MODERN SCIENTIFIC CHALLENGES
PHYSICS
• violation of the law of conservation of matter
• the dimension of the universe
• speeds above the speed of light
BIOLOGY
• junk DNA in the human genome
• evolutionary gaps between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens
CONSCIOUS
• the phenomenon of consciousness during clinical death
• Paranormal phenomena: they are fixed, they are, but they do not fit into the existing scientific concepts
• mental viruses (mems)
• Artificial conscious
HISTORY
• new artifacts did not fit into the official history paradigm (the interpretation is always given from the standpoint of the current government)
21CONFIDENTIAL
A paradigm is a distinct set of concepts
or thought patterns, including theories,
research methods, postulates, and
standards for what constitutes legitimate
contributions to a field
Paradigm
Paradigm shift
A paradigm shift, as identified by
American physicist and philosopher
Thomas Kuhn, is a fundamental change
in the basic concepts and experimental
practices of a scientific discipline.

SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION EXAMPLES
Scientific solution Example
1 Using known concepts (existing model) in
new conditions
Watching some star revolves around “emptiness”
in a circle, we can explain this fact by using the
concept of a “black hole”.
2 Using most appropriate model. We use the
same concepts but expand interpretation
of these concepts
To explain the alpha particles diffusion,
Rutherford used the most suitable model: a
planetary model of the atom with heavy nucleus,
which accumulate all the mass of an atom
3 Usage of well-known models and theories
leads to the violation of compliance
between them and reality, i.e., rise to
contradictions. At the third level re-solving
the contradiction leads to changes in the
conceptual apparatus of the theory.
Photoelectric effect. Light transmits power
continuously since it is a wave process. In other
cases, the light energy must pass
instantaneously, because it is not a wave
process. The resolution of this contradiction has
led to change of understanding of light concept.

EXAMPLE. SUPERFLUIDITY EFFECT
В 1935 г. Виллем Кеезон обнаружил, что, теплопроводность
гелия 2 (при Т ниже 2,2 К) в узких капиллярах в миллион раз
больше, чем у самого теплопроводного металла – серебра. Но
другие опыты показали, что вязкость гелия в тысячу раз
меньше, чем у воды, а при переходе от гелия-1 к гелию-2
было замечено дополнительное уменьшение вязкости. Как
это объяснить?
Противоречие: чтобы иметь высокую теплопроводность,
слои атомов должны быть сильно связанны друг с другом
и, чтобы иметь низкую вязкость, они должны быть слабо
связаны друг с другом.
Виллем Хендрик Кеезом
(1876—1956)
26CONFIDENTIAL
In a system or process takes place an unique or
repeated harmful or useful phenomenon. We have to
establish the cause of the phenomenon and its action
mechanism.
In particular case we have to detect the cause of a
fault in the system or process.

Research
Research is characterized in that the causes of the
phenomenon under investigation are not related to a
human activity.

REASEARCH PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGIES IN TRIZ
The research problem is different from the inventive one in that we can not add new resources to the system under investigation.
We have to find a solution using only the resources existing in the system.
In many cases, the solution of a research problem depends from the availability of a specific resource.
Is there right resource or a resource have to be obtained from other resources in the right place at the right time?
The most frequent strategy in the research problem solving is to find hidden changes of existing resources.
Generally, the hidden change of existing resources differs the system in which a phenomenon occurs, from the system where this phenomenon was not observed.
