LinkedIn Posting: WTSP Report (6) presented at ETRIA TFC2023

WTSP Report (6) Catalogs of TRIZ and Around-TRIZ Sites in the World -- ETRIA TFC23 Presentation
We presented our 6th-year Report of the WTSP project at TRIZ TFC2023 on Sept. 14. The paper is officially published by Springer with DOI
. The paper is now fully posted on the website "TRIZ Home Page in Japan"
. Paper in HTML, Slides in HTML and in PDF, Presentation Video in MP4 (in English); and Paper in Japanese translation.
The WTSP project has been working to create Catalogs of TRIZ-related Websites in the world. The paper describes its vision/significance/goals and the structure and current version of the Catalogs.
The World Catalogs of Around-TRIZ Websites are already compiled/published reasonably well. However, the World Catalogs of TRIZ Websites are insufficient
due to the lack of contributions from many countries.
Our difficulty has been that "Many people support the project, but very few of them actually work to build the Catalogs". An apparent reason is that "the talented people in TRIZ are always too busy in their jobs to work voluntarily for WTSP".
The hidden core reason, we have recently found, is that "many TRIZ people have not seen the completed Catalogs, and hence do not recognize possible Values of the Catalogs and who and how to create such Values".
The Values of the WTSP Catalogs
For site owners, it is the opportunity to introduce their sites to the world;
For TRIZ leaders/experts/practitioners, it is the overview of the (methodical) development and activities of TRIZ (and related methods);
For TRIZ users/learners, it is a reliable and comprehensible information source for learning and using TRIZ.
These Values can be created by TRIZ leaders/experts/practitioners (including site owners) all over the world.
Based on this recognition, we are going to rebuild the WTSP project to expand and enrich the World Catalogs of TRIZ Sites. We sincerely ask many TRIZ professionals in the world for their active collaboration.

Manuscript of MENA (Middle East & North Africa) Arabic Region Websites
The survey results of 15 websites in the MENA (Middle East & North Africa) Arabic Region were obtained and contributed by Khaled Shoaib (Egypt), the WTSP MENA Region Editor, on Aug. 28, 2023
. Using his data in a big table in .docx, Nakagawa set up a webpage in the form of Manuscript of MENA Part of World WTSP Catalogs; especially, consisting of (simpler) Index Part and Site Description Part (Sept. 1, 2023)
World WTSP Catalogs: Information Source to Study TRIZ and Related Methods: Reliable, Useful, and Attractive !!
Reliable, Useful, and Attractive !! Information Source to Study TRIZ and Related Methods: WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ-related Websites
Various Opportunities and information sources to meet TRIZ
How did you (and many other people who are using TRIZ) encounter TRIZ? -- at a seminar (accidentally), at a university class, at a training course in a company, at a book, from my colleague, ..., etc.
How did you learn TRIZ with much interest? -- at a workshop, with a book, at a university course, at a training course led by a consultant, at a real project, at an online video course, ..., etc.
How did you obtain the capability of applying TRIZ? -- at a real project(s) facilitated by a consultant, at a graduate-school course, with experiences of several case studies, with experiences plus books and software tools, ..., etc.
How did you expand your scope in TRIZ? -- by attending/presenting at conferences, by reading several books, by visiting many TRIZ websites, by reading various case study reports, ..., etc.
What is your main source of information on TRIZ? -- my consultant, my professor, my TRIZ association, my favorite books, my TRIZ conferences, ..., and many websites guided by Our WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ-related Websites in the World.
As you expect, there are various opportunities for us to encounter TRIZ, learn it, get capable of it, and expand our scope of it. Such opportunities are unintended/accidental sometimes while intended/well-planned some other times. We should use such opportunities, depending on our situations, interests, levels, etc. However, at certain levels, we must have reliable and wider-in-scope information sources to study and apply TRIZ in better, more effective ways.
World WTSP Catalogs: Reliable, Useful, Attractive Information Source
Our World WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ-related Websites
The Values of the World WTSP Catalogs for all the users (beginners, learners, students, practitioners, researchers, professionals, etc.) are: "Reliable, Useful, and Attractive information source for learning/studying/applying TRIZ and related methods". Excellent and important websites are shown in categories. You can get an overview of websites with their introductions, and visit suitable sites to study and research. You may remember that these Values have been created by many site owners and many professionals involved in surveying/introducing/compiling the sites for building the Catalogs. You can see "Introduction to World WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ Sites and Around-TRIZ Sites (for users)"
Categories of TRIZ-related Websites: Various Roles of Sites
In the World WTSP Catalogs, the websites are classified with the evaluation grades and arranged in categories of Roles of sites. I will explain here how the Roles of sites help you search for websites of your current interests:
(a) Information Sending sites:
(a1) Dedicated to information sending: Excellent and open-minded websites to show their own methods, applications, activities, etc. (a2) Public websites for information sending: (a1) plus inviting/accepting excellent articles written by other groups.
(b) Promoter organizations:
(b1) Dedicated associations: International associations dedicated to TRIZ, often operating international conferences, publishing journals/books, operating certification programs, etc. (b2) Dedicated (academic) societies: Academic societies in the field of TRIZ (and wider).
(c) Public organizations:
(c1) International organizations: UN, UNESCO, EU, etc., with information on their policies, projects, etc. (c2) National organizations: Country governments and their subsidiary organizations. (c4) Professional organizations: Such as Patent offices
(d) Academia:
(d1) Universities / (d2) Institutes / (d3) Laboratories: Active research units (and their parent organizations) in academia dedicated to TRIZ. (d4) Academic societies (in general fields): In the fields around TRIZ. (d5) Research projects: Often operated by international/countrywide groups on specific topics. (d6) Dedicated education courses / (d7) Open education (MOOC etc.) / (d8) Public education / (d9) Extension schools: New types of education opportunities emerging with digital/remote communications, often operated by academia with free/low price.
(e) Developer organizations:
(e1) Method developers: Developing the TRIZ methods in various directions and applying/proliferating them widely; making significant contributions to the development of TRIZ, sometimes in academia, consultancy, and industries. (e2) Software/tool developers / (e10) Software/tool services (free or charged): Developing software/tools for effective use of TRIZ methods and operating them as services on the Internet (besides selling them). (e4) Consultants: Important sector leading TRIZ; they teach/train and apply their (own) methods of TRIZ (and related methods) to real problems in industries and societies; their websites often show only abstracts/parts of their methods and application examples (because of non-disclosure agreements with customers and/or their business purposes). (e5) Training organizations / (e6) Seminar organizations: Organizations working for training or giving seminars on TRIZ (and related methods) to people with either open or closed registration (such as in companies); Dedicated associations (b1) often operate training courses with certification.
(f) Publishing organizations:
(f1) Journals: A few dedicated to TRIZ and many covering wider fields and posting TRIZ-related papers from time to time. (f2) Publishers: Besides big international publishers, various TRIZ organizations (such as Dedicated associations (b1), Method developers (e1), etc.) publish their own TRIZ (text)books. (f3) Repositories: A huge number of papers/theses/documents are collected in digital forms by various international/national organizations and universities, etc. for open access. (f4) Booksellers: The Amazon website, for example, deals with numerous books in every field including TRIZ showing their introductions.
(g) Information sharing:
(g3) Knowledge sharing: Websites to collect and share (standardized) knowledge on TRIZ-related methods/concepts/examples/etc. for public audiences. (g4) Social networking: Websites (e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.) where people freely join and post short articles/comments/etc. for (informal/active) communication by forming various groups/communities.
(h) User organizations:
Organizations who study and apply TRIZ to their own problem solving; they may be any of (h1) Industry-level organizations, (h2) Companies, (h3) Educational organizations (i.e., from graduate schools to kinder gardens), (h4)(h5) User organizations/groups (formed for studying/applying TRIZ-related methods); In the process of studying/applying TRIZ, these organizations naturally find/derive their own ways of understanding and applying TRIZ and achieve good results (such as solutions of products and services); case studies by these organizations are often not disclosed but sometimes presented at conferences and on consultants' websites.
(i) Personal:
Websites and blog sites are sometimes operated personally by independent (often semi-retired) researchers and individual persons in user organizations; their articles are often rich with their experiences and personal thoughts/wisdom.
Enjoy Using the WTSP Catalogs and Help Enhance Them Further
You, readers/users of World WTSP Catalogs, can enjoy the introductions of various websites arranged in these categories to find excellent/attractive websites that fit your current interests. Clicking the URLs, you can visit the websites to study their web pages and further into the reference articles/papers/documents/etc.
The present version of the World WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ Websites is at a preliminary stage of compilation, having good structure and examples of excellent websites with introductions. It is insufficient, however, in three aspects: lacking contributions of manuscripts of country parts from many (including active in TRIZ) countries; full introductions of individual websites written by the site owners are still very few; and automatic mechanism of finding websites that match user's inquiry is not installed yet.
We wish many leaders/colleagues/professionals in TRIZ to collaborate to build the World WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ-related websites, and many more learners and users in TRIZ in the world to enjoy using the Catalogs as Reliable, Useful, and Attractive information source in the area of TRIZ-related methods.
The website of Prof. Nakagawa gives a diverse and broad overview about worldwide TRIZ activities. You can search the site with the added links.
