Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Aug. 26, 2013)

This page posts the presentation slides of my Special Invited Talk presented last July at Global TRIZ Conference 2013 in Korea.  Slides are also posted in Japanese . Participation report of GTC2013 has been posted in Japanese .

The contents of this talk is the up-to-date reorganized version of what I have been talking/writing since last year.  I recently decided to use 'CrePS' as the abbreviation of the 'General Methodology of Creative Problem-Solving and Task Achieving'.
For making the 45 minutes lecture as comprehensive as possible, I made 35 slides including 10 slides marked with ☆Skip which were talked just briefly.  In addition to the PDF version of the slides, this page shows the slide images in HTML with Table of contents, for readers' convenience.

In next two months I am going to talk about further extensions of this work CrePS: at Japan TRIZ Symposium (Sept. 5-6, 2013, in Tokyo) on how to construct the CrePS methodology; at Japan Creativity Society Conference (Oct. 26-27, in Saitama) and at ETRIA TRIZ Future Conference (Oct. 29-31, in Paris) on the vision of the CrePS methodology.  Even though slowly, I am going to build up the contents of the CrePS methodology.
