Abstract

The author details how the introduction of TRIZ in the last decade has given us a left-brain creativity tool to use for creative problem solving when the right brain tools are not adequate, or not appropriate. TRIZ is the acronym for Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, and TRIZ is the acronym for the same phrase in Russian. The TRIZ methodology is a systematic method for solving problems in all these areas. It can be applied by people with both right-brain and left-brain preferences, and works very well with teams that have both people with both strengths, since the analytical tools, such as conflict resolution, requires left-brain skills, but the development of the analogies between the standard TRIZ solutions and the specific situation of a particular problem require right-brain strengths
