Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Mar.  1, 2022)

This is a rather special case that a manuscript of Country WTSP Catalog is built by a WTSP surveyor (TN) outside of the country.  In order to promote the World WTSP Catalogs further, it is now crucial to make/get good examples of WTSP manuscripts of individual countries and site descriptions of individual websites.  I hope this page shows one example of building a Country WTSP Catalog for a very active country and also demonstrates that we will be able to learn a huge accumulation of valuable information through such Catalogs.

This manuscript has been built in the following way on the basis of the survey results already posted and new survey/editing activities:

(1)  Principal source is the Internet Survey (4th round) of WTSP World TRIZ Sites in individual countries.  See for all countries.   By clicking the country name, you see the raw data (in an HTML page).  In case of UK: .

(2)  In case of UK (as well as about 10 active countries), the raw data (1) shows several tens of websites, where each site is represented with one (or two) detected web-page(s) and also the Site Name and Site URL (edited by TN).  Survey conditions are shown, especially for Keywords (i.e., TRIZ or "Systematic Innovation"), Site location (i.e., UK), and Site language (i.e., English).
Our task is to visit the websites one by one for understanding the website and write brief introduction (in 3-15 lines) for users. Excerpts from top pages, About us pages, etc. may be helpful. Roles of the website, and Evaluation in 5 grades (◎○□△ー) must be written (even on a tentative basis).  (Please refer the Practice Guide for mor detail.)

(3)  Finishing the task (2) for all the websites, delete the raw survey outputs of individual web-pages.  Then rearrange the websites in the categories of TRIZ and Around-TRIZ, the latter are the websites with a lot of valuable information on creative problem solving methodologies but only few directly related to TRIZ.  For each category, rearrange the websites in the order of Evaluation grade (◎○□△), deleting the ー websites.  Then assign the Site Code (i.e., UK-nn) giving unique running numbers.  Make an Index table and rearrange the site descriptions in accordance to the Index.

(4)  Some TRIZ websites located in the Country (UK) may be picked up in the already posted WTSP pages (See Manuscripts part of the World WTSP Catalogs Top Page   ), especially in the survey results of TN2A (world TRIZ sites) and TN2F (TRIZ sites in USA).  The survey page TN3A2 (Creative Thinking Methods) may also contain several TRIZ websites in UK (but for about 60 □ websites, their Site location and Roles are not yet shown). 

(5)  Many Around-TRIZ websites in the Country (UK) may be found in the already posted pages (including the survey cases of TN3A2 (Creative Thinking Method), TN 3B (Creative Problem Solving), TN3C (Innovation Method), TN3D (Quality/Value/Cost Management), TN3E (Patent Analysis/Strategy)).

(6) Web sites picked up in (4)(5) are to be inserted in the Website Index Table, but the website descriptions may not be moved or inserted, because site descriptions are easily accessed from the Index Table by use of hyperlinks. It is necessary to check the duplication of same websites:  In such a case, decide one Site Code having detailed site description as the main Site Code and the others as the sub Site Codes.   In the sub Site Code write as "See  Main", while in the main Site Code write as "Include (Sub1, Sub2, ..)".  These reference relationships need to be installed in the form of hyperlinks. 

(7)  Finally (for the Country Team), (besides the Manuscript in a file of Word/HTML/PDF having the name  eWTSP-Output-A-uk-UnitedKingdom-yymmdd) set the Index HTML page (with the file name Index-UK.html) and the Site description HTML page (with the file name Site-UK.html) in one folder (with the folder name  eWTSP-WorldCatalog-A-uk ).  Set the hyperlinks from the Site Code to (the anchor point of) Site Description of individual websites.  These hyperlinks can be made consistent by the Country Team for all the websites in (3).  Hyperlinks related to the websites in (4)(5) may be taken care of by the Project Leader (TN).  The Manuscript of the Country WTSP Catalogs (for UK) thus prepared are to be submited to the Project Leader.

(8)  Receiving the manuscript of the Country WTSP Catalogs (7), the Project Leader will incorporate the Country Catalog as a part of the World WTSP Catalogs (a relatively easy task possibly done in a week or so), and update the World WTSP Catalogs in various points to reflect the additions and revisions induced by the new information in the Country Catalog (a rather tedious work, to be done together with other Country manuscripts). 

Please refer the  Practice Guide to Build and Enhance the World WTSP Catalogs for further detail.  

 


While surveying and visiting all these websites in UK, I have learned a lot of new approaches in understanding and applying various TRIZ-related methods.  You would certainly learn much in this Catalog, regardless of your living in UK or any other country.

Please note that there can be many good websites missing in the surveys so far.  For example, Darrell Mann's website "Systematic Innovation Inc." (◎) was missing in (1)(4)(5) and inserted in (4) TN2A by a manual operation.  Another example: Nikolay Bogatyrev's unique website "BioTRIZ" (◎)is missing in (1)(4)(5) and not yet included in the present manuscriipt.  I feel that many more good websites operated by consultants and academic people are not included in the present manuscript. 

We wish that many people working in the fields of TRIZ-related methodologies form a WTSP Team in each country and build Country WTSP Catalogs for all the users in the country and in the world.

[TN, Feb. 23, 2022]  A popular TRIZ website, particularly because of its unique and witty cartoons.  A consultant firm led by Karen Gadd since 1998, with the motto of making TRIZ accessible to everyone.  It operates a system of workshops and elearning courses on TRIZ, in the fields of technologies, business & management, IP, etc.  Oxford TRIZ apply TRIZ "fast and efficient" by guiding people in their thinking process without using software.  The website posts a large number of pages, including course descriptions, case studies, blogs by Karen, etc.  It also has a handy tool of TRIZ Effects database, where we may input our query in the form of "function" and "object" then we can have many (often more than 100) (physical/chemical/biological/etc.) principles accompanied with explanations.  The site advises to cooperate people who use various other methods (e.g., TOC, Lean, Six sigma) and to use TRIZ tools to complement their weak/missing aspects.

About Us : We are the RSA. The royal society for arts, manufactures and commerce. We're committed to a future that works for everyone. A future where we can all participate in its creation.  The RSA has been at the forefront of significant social impact for over 260 years. Our proven change process, rigorous research, innovative ideas platforms and diverse global community of over 30,000 problem-solvers, deliver solutions for lasting change.  We invite you to be part of this change. Join our community. Together, we'll unite people and ideas to resolve the challenges of our time.
Areas of Work:  The Future Of Work:  Work is no longer a guarantee of material security. And powerful new technologies, like artificial intelligence, mean the future of work could be even more unequal.  We believe good work should be enjoyed by all. Our future of work programme exists to make sure that everyone, regardless of background or starting point, can pursue good work in this age of technological change.  Our principles for good work – economic security, wellbeing, growth, freedom, subjective nurture – are not ambitious in their own right; many people already experience these. However, our ambition is for these principles to be available to all.  By bringing diverse people and ideas together, we believe we can influence a new future of work.
Joint the Re-generation:  ...  it is our intention to stay another 260. But to do so, we must face our current planetary crisis head on, and bring together the skill sets of our community to help shape an equitable future where all of us can thrive as part of the Earth's ecology.  The Regenerative Futures programme brings people and ideas together to show how this could look, act and feel, through building awareness and capability and demonstrating in practice. We invite you to be part of this change.
