Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Aug. 30, 2022; Sept. 16; Oct. 14, 2022)
This is a new page for the proposal and discussion of an expected brand-new website which can be "Representative website in the fields of TRIZ" (and later including the field Around-TRIZ (or we may say Creative Problem Solving Methodologies in general)).
The proposal was initiated mid June by Toru Nakagawa in relation to WTSP (World TRIZ-related Sites Project) and discussed inside the WTSP Global Co-editors. The proposal was based on the finding that in the field of TRIZ there exist a number of international associations/conferences and many good websites operated by various consulting firms and academic groups, but no representative website/journal where papers/articles come from various authors over the field and are published regularly. If we have such a Representative website, many professionals/users/learners may come and learn the whole aspects of TRIZ easily and effectively. It will serve much for wider and better proliferation of TRIZ (and related methodologies).
The proposal is now just an initial/preliminary stage, and hence we should make the vision clearer and should create a general consensus in the TRIZ community in the world. We will need a lot of discussions in the TRIZ community to clarify the vision, build up plans, make a consensus, and start the new organization and the website. The expected new website is called "Systematic Innovation Review" website (or SI-Review in short) here, for convenience on a temporary basis.
For initializing all these preparation work, we have decided to open this page temporarily inside the WTSP website. We know that this proposal is much larger in scale and much harder to realize than our WTSP project, and the process need to be carried out more energetically and more carefully to make a general consensus in the TRIZ community.
Thus we are going to show our visions briefly first and then more closely later step by step for discussing various aspects together with many TRIZ leaders/colleagues/users. (We posted Section 1. Vision of our Proposal first on Aug. 16, and posted the full body from Section 2. to Section 8. today, Sept. 16, 2022.) We are planning to have 'Proposal pages' and 'Open discussion pages' as you will see soon. We will also send our proposal to various TRIZ organizations in the world.
Fortunately we had a chance of presenting this proposal at the Round Table Session of ETRIA TFC2022 on Sept. 28. Presentation slides were prepared and posted beforehand in this site and in LinkedIn, and the video (of 5.5 minutes) of the presentation is posted in this site. (Oct. 14, 2022).
Please feedback your (or your organization/groups) thoughts and contribute your ideas, opinions, comments, questions, etc. to this site, either openly or personally to the Editor. Whenever some form of preparatory organization is established, this site will be moved there.

Initial introduction to the Proposal (Toru Nakagawa, Aug. 24, 2022; Sept. 16, 2022)
From mid June to early July this year, we had internal discussions among the Global Co-editors on the need of a new 'Representative website in TRIZ'. The discussions were triggered by Toru Nakagawa with writing in the manuscript of our ETRIA TFC2022 paper on WTSP, which is co-authored by the six WTSP Global Co-Editors, i.e., Toru Nakagawa, Darrell Mann, Michael Orloff, Simon Dewulf, Simon Litvin, and Valeri Souchkov.
The last paragraph of the Concluding Remarks section of the paper is:
One specific point Nakagawa noticed:
In the TRIZ community there are a number of international associations/conferences and many good websites operated by individual consulting firms and academic groups, but there exists no 'representative' place where good TRIZ works are coming from various groups in the world to be published regularly.
The TRIZ Journal served as the leading journal for promoting TRIZ in the early stage, but not in recent years.
A new website, so to speak "Systematic Innovation Review", is anticipated to be established and operated by some solid international collaboration in the global TRIZ(-related) community.We had hot discussions on this proposal, e.g., Do we really need such a new journal/website? What is the value proposition of the new website? Various papers from different authors/groups might have a risk of confusing readers concerning the integrity of TRIZ. Can we make a general consensus in the TRIZ community for starting such a website? Isn't it just a Utopian illusion? How can we achieve the vision? etc. etc.
On Jul. 11, I wrote down my proposal in a big diagram (like a simplified Affinity Diagram) in order to discuss further in various aspects of the issue. The discussion has been calmed down, probably because all the Global Co-editors more-or-less understood the vision and the directions to go and they have been back for working in their extremely busy jobs, I suppose.
Thus I am going to show you Our proposal here, with brief overall image first, and then with closer presentations step by step for clarifying various aspects of the vision and its tasks. Converting the diagram format into ordinary text format, I will show our Proposal in two forms, i.e., in html (the Proposal page
) and in .docx (Word file
