The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein |
Process Integration Knowledge Management Customer Requirements Problem Solving “We
are confronted with a problem that seems unsolvable. We have been working to
solve the problem but don’t really seem to be making any progress. We think
that if we can just get some of the people to change what they are doing the
solution will be reached. But we can’t seem to get the people to change!” It
is recommended that
a
systematic approach to innovation and problem solving be taken with a focus on
ideas rather than on people or simply the elimination of the problem. It’s
likely that others have confronted the elements of a problem such as this at
some other point in time. º

Has
an ideal final solution been articulated? º
Has
the subject system been mapped? º
Have
resources presently idle in the system been listed? º
Have
the elements of the present condition been quantified? º
Have
the TRIZ 40 principles been used as a
