Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Apr. 14, 2021)

This paper was presented by Simon Litvin at the MATRIZ MeetUp "Promoting TRIZ in the World", which was held online on Mar. 23-24, 2021 with about 15 presentations.  Dr. Litvin contributed his presentation slides to this Website "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" kindly on my request.   This page posts his original slides in PDF  and also in HTML.  It is my intention of posting the HTML page to make the slides easier for access and to make the structure of the presentation clearer by adding section headers according to my understanding.

His presentation is very important in several aspects, I feel.

(a) The two slides on the 'Background: General Global Trends and Challenges'  and another on 'Major Challenges in Promoting and Selling TRIZ in the World' show many important points we should consider, realize, discuss, and act. 

(b) GEN TRIZ, LLC, led by Simon Litvin and having a history for nearly two-and-half decades (in different names), have a huge network of experts 'Global Knowledge Network (GKN)' and 'Smart Labs' in operation;  thus it seems to have a rare capability of achieving 'Open Innovations' successfully.  Examples of their activities and results are shown in the forms of Clients List, Products of Projects, Successful Startups, Patents, and Case Studies.  He puts stress on 'Incremental Innovations' in many companies rather than highly risky 'Disruptive Innovations'.

(c)  His methods are demonstrated in a Case Study of making a semi-automatic Coffee Harvester to be used in mountainous regions in Columbia.  A List of services/courses on Innovation Trainings & Facilitations and Innovation Projects is illustrative to see his service activities.  He says, TRIZ itself is not a product but TRIZ-based products and services are.  This point is certainly important for promoting TRIZ in the world.

(d) Simon Litvin is one of the Global Co-editors of the World TRIZ-related Sites Project (WTSP).  He and I recently had email discussions on how to make our World WTSP Catalogs more attractive and useful.   He has just submitted a site description of his GEN-TRIZ site in our Standard Form and also agreed to post this presentation as a close site introduction of his site, accessible from the Word WTSP Catalogs.    GEN-TRIZ site is Site Code TN2F-07; the Site Description (in the Standard Form) is attached at the bottom of this page.

In the Japanese page , the first 3 slides are posted in Japanese translation, recognizing their general importance.
