Recently experts in the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) from China, Jason Wang and Oleg Li, arrived in Petrozavodsk together with Mikhail Semyonovich Rubin, President of the International Public Association TRIZ Developers Summit (Moscow). Experts from China, in addition to St. Petersburg and Moscow, included Petrozavodsk in the plan of their visit to Russia to visit the memorials of the founder of TRIZ, Heinrich Saulovich Altshuller (10/15/1926 – 09/24/1998)
The delegation visited the National Library of the Republic of Karelia, where it was welcomed by the director Marina Viktorovna Nikishina. During the discussion of Petrozavodsk's significant contribution to the international TRIZ community, numerous events were noted: the holding of scientific seminars and conferences, the publication of books on TRIZ, the creation of the International TRIZ Association (MA TRIZ) and public organizations such as the TRIZ Developers Summit.
The idea of cooperation between the National Library of the Republic of Karelia and the International Public Association "TRIZ Developers Summit" was put forward jointly. It is planned to announce the International Year of Altshuller's Memory, prepare a calendar of commemorative events, hold special meetings and lectures by experts on the use of TRIZ methods. In addition, it is planned to transfer the experience of using TRIZ at RUSAL enterprises, use the Compinno-TRIZ software tool to automate the process of solving creative tasks through a combination of TRIZ and artificial intelligence methods, as well as introduce TRIZ teaching in educational institutions, taking into account the accumulated Russian and Chinese experience.
These steps will significantly expand the sphere of influence of TRIZ and increase the effectiveness of its application in various fields of human activity.
