Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Mar. 27, 2015)

This paper was presented last September at 10th Japan TRIZ Symposium and obtaind the 'Best presentation for me' Award as a result of participants voting.  In my Personal Report of the Symposium , I have introduce this paper as follows:

As reported in the TRIZ Symposium last year , DENSO introduced TRIZ since 10 years ago and has been promoting its application to a variety of projects. They try to make the TRIZ application practical in short time (within 20 hours each).   The TRIZ application team is formed by the desire of the project and by the voluntary members only. Thus the TRIZ promoter needs to guide the team, composed mostly by TRIZ-novice members.   In such situations, it is a key to success to adopt the approach and tools which fit well with the needs and intentions of such TRIZ beginners.

The authors reviewed their 250 projects for these 10 years and characterized them with 3 types of needs (i.e., Want many ideas, Want a good solution, and Want to reconsider from the root) and with 2 types of intentions (i.e., Out of the constraints and boundaries, and Inside the present constraints).   For each category of 3x2, the authors examined if the used TRIZ tools were successful or not from the viewpoints of the TRIZ beginners. In conclusion, the authors have summarized the TRIZ tools recommendable in each of the 3x2 categories of beginners' needs and intentions.

-- This is a nice presentation with deep insights.  The author made a concluding remark saying: "The success of TRIZ practice depends not only on the technical results but also on the participants' satisfaction. And hence, coaching is more effective than consulting."

  Abstract  

How to Lead Beginners to TRIZ at the Place of Practices

Shigeru Hisanaga (DENSO Corporation)

Presented at 10th TRIZ Symposium in Japan, Sept. 11-12, 2014, at Waseda University, Tokyo

Abstract  

In 2003, TRIZ was introduced to our company, and its practical use in the company has been promoted until now.  There, candidates in the company, with in-company promoters, have gone focusing on practices aiming at solutions applying TRIZ to their actual business.  In order to extend TRIZ practical use, as a matter of course, many of the practitioners are TRIZ beinners.

One of the important roles of an in-company promoter is to propose which tool to use and what kind of approach to take to various themes.  In selecting the tool and approach, it is important to match not only the theme but also the practitioner's needs.  Especially, in the case of beginners, it is necessary to consider enough for the needs they have in order to have them recognize the usefulness of TRIZ and to urge their continuous practical use. 

Based on the examples "What of TRIZ charms the beginners and what can they not understand" and "What have carried out well and what have not gone well," which have been experienced through the practice of about 250 subjects during some 10 years from the introduction to the present, it will be considered how to lead beginners to TRIZ.
