Editor's Note
(Toru Nakagawa, Sept. 17, 2005)
This paper was presented as the Keynote Speech at the First TRIZ Symposium in Japan. The Symposium was held by the "Collaborative Board of TRIZ Promoters and Users in Japan", with the joint efforts of (almost) all the parties involved in promoting, introducing, applying, and teaching TRIZ and related methods in Japan. It was a big success of three days of presentations, discussions, and communications by 104 participants (inculding 4 from overseas). Please refer to the Symposium posted in different pages.
In the Symposium, the speech was given in English with two screens of slides in English and in Japanese. The present page contains the abstract of the paper, while the slides in English are posted separately in a PDF format.

Abstract:
TRIZ is approaching a critical point in its history. What happens in the next two or three years will determine whether it grows into a global phenomenon or shrinks into cult-like obscurity. This presentation starts with an examination of the critical strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the method today, and how they might change as the future unfolds. This analysis is then used as the basis for defining the key conflicts and contradictions that will need to be overcome if TRIZ is to follow the path to success. The presentation will discuss a selection of the identified contradictions and explore how TRIZ itself might be used to provide practical and valid solutions. Amongst the contradictions to be discussed will be the parallel needs for TRIZ to be structured and unstructured, simple and complex, independent and integrated, consistent and adaptive. The presentation will also explore the dangers and pitfalls of case studies, why people don’t buy into change, and why those most knowledgeable about the method are probably the least well suited to help promote it. A final summary will propose a number of modifications to the DNA structure of TRIZ that may help it to flourish and grow at individual, corporate and global scales.
