Sergei Ikovenko (GEN3 Partners, MIT, USA) |
"Directions for Future TRIZ Development and Applications": Dr. Ikovenko visited Japan many times in the early period of TRIZ introduction in Japan (from 1997 to around 2000) as an instructor of Invention Machine Corporation, US, and taught how to use TRIZ (and its software tools) in open seminars and companies around the country. With his personality and his comprehensive instruction, many TRIZ users from those old days in Japan feel much familiarity with Dr. Ikovenko. He is a student of Mr. Altshuller and is one of the TRIZ Masters. Currently, he is a consultant working for GEN3 Partners (Boston, US), Professor Adjuncts of MIT, and Vice President of MATRIZ (International TRIZ Association). Recently, as reported in the ETRIA TFC 2007, Dr. Ikovenko has guided several big industries in the US and Europe (including Intel and Siemens) and succeeded in promoting TRIZ company-wide on the basis of solid understanding of TRIZ. In the Keynote Lecture, he is going to talk not on a specific topic but on the general topic of future directions for TRIZ development and application. |

Tutorial of TRIZ Basics (in Japanese only) |
Masatoshi Hotta (Sozo Kaihatsu Initiative) |
"Introduction to Systematic Innovation: For The First Step to Real Use of TRIZ" Every year, in the inquiries of TRIZ Symposium, about one third of the participants answer that they (though not novices) have been studying TRIZ seriously or working for TRIZ promotion for just one year or less and that they wanted in the Symposium to understand the overall view of TRIZ, real situations and practical ways of applying and promoting TRIZ in industries. Thus, we have organized this tutorial for the purpose of introducing the fundamentals of TRIZ mainly to these people as the target. The lecturer this year will be Mr. Hotta. He had been, since 1997, the chief of the Knowledge Creation Research Department at Mitsubishi Research Institute (MRI), which engaged in the introduction and penetration of TRIZ in Japan tying up with Invention Machine Corporation. Mr. Hotta spun off from MRI in 2003 and built a TRIZ consulting firm 'Sozo Kaihatsu Initiative (SKI)'. He has been serving as the General Secretary of Japan TRIZ CB and also that of Japan TRIZ Society, and has worked for the TRIZ Symposia. SKI published the Japanese Edition of Darrell Mann's TRIZ textbook "Hands-On Systematic Innovation". On such a basis, Mr. Hotta has been teaching TRIZ in a new scope for systematic innovation in industries. |

Remarks: On the Web Posting of Symposium Presentations (Feb. 4, 2009) (Correction: Apr. 17, 2009 TN)
Concerning to the Web posting of the Japan TRIZ Symposium 2008 presentations, the Japan TRIZ Society has recently decided as follows:
Keynotes and Invited Talk: Slides (and papers, if supplied) will be posted publicly in the Official Pages (and in the Official Pages of the former Japan TRIZ CB) in Januay or February both in Japanese and in English.
Contributed presentations (either Oral or Poster): Slides (and papers, if supplied) will be posted in the 'Society Members Pages' of the Society's Official Web Site in June in Japanese. Selected six presentations, which obtained highest votes by the Symposium participants, will be posted earlier, in March or April, publicly in the Official Pages (and in the Official Pages of the former Japan TRIZ CB). (Phrases in red are inserted for correction: Apr. 17, 2009 TN)
Note: According to our Call for Papers, the Authors of presentations at the Symposium have given Japan TRIZ Society non-exclusive copyrights of publishing their papers in the Proceedings and posting in some Web sites chosen by the Society. The Authors retain the copyrights of their own papers, and hence they are free to submit their own papers to any journals or Web sites for publication or posting; in such a publication the Authors are requested to refer to the Fourth TRIZ Symposium in Japan.
Note (Toru Nakagawa, Mar. 5, 2009):
According to the above situations Nakagawa is going to post the presentations as follows:
(a) In the Official Pages of Japan TRIZ CB (inside "TRIZ Home Page in Japan"): Presentations that Japan TRIZ Society has decided to post publicly in its Official Web site will be posted in their original form without introductory articles. Presentations that Japan TRIZ Society has decided to post in the 'Society Members Pages' will not be posted in the present Official Pages of Japan TRIZ CB, because the site does not have the option of limiting accesses.
(b) In the ordinary pages of "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" (Editor: Toru Nakagawa): Presentations contributed/approved by the authors and selected by the Editor will be posted together with some introduction by Nakagawa.
