The theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) developed by Heinrich Altshuller is the most powerful tool for eliminating both technical and administrative contradictions; it is used in the largest corporations around the world.
Altshuller created his theory after studying many inventions, patents and copyright certificates. He argues that any of us can become an inventor — for this you need to overcome psychological inertia. The book «Find an idea» describes all the main TRIZ tools and provides numerous examples of creating inventions using this theory.
