Abstract

This paper describes an innovative design thinking process with simplified TRIZ that can be used to resolve contradictions in all domains with words such as “dilemma”, “conflict”, “contradiction” and “paradox”. The design thinking process that have been used at d.school at Stanford and Potsdam University are popular as a human-centered innovation process with “Empathy” and “Define” stages for human-centered problem finding. However, many results may be not innovative because it uses mostly “Group brainstorming” at “Ideate” stage.

Highlights

  • Among several conceptual design methodologies, Design thinking and TRIZ are popular in the world

  • TRIZ is technologically oriented methodology to resolve some contradictions using knowledge databases. When it comes to TRIZ, newcomers are confronted with highly sophisticated tools and a very time-consuming learning process as explained in Claudia Hentschel and Alexander Czinki’ paper [1]

  • This paper describes a general-use innovative design thinking process with simplified and step-by-step TRIZ that can be used to resolve contradictions in all domains with words such as “dilemma”, “conflict”, “contradiction”

Summary

Introduction

Among several conceptual design methodologies, Design thinking and TRIZ are popular in the world. TRIZ is technologically oriented methodology to resolve some contradictions using knowledge databases When it comes to TRIZ, newcomers are confronted with highly sophisticated tools and a very time-consuming learning process as explained in Claudia Hentschel and Alexander Czinki’ paper [1]. They presented that Design Thinking as a door-opener for TRIZ is efficient for newcomers to understand and use TRIZ as a systematic innovation method ology. The “Empathize” and “Define” step of the Design thinking process are effective steps for compensating TRIZ for finding the human-centered problem as a “Pre-TRIZ”. Its effectiveness is explained in a development case study, the smart wind free air conditioner at SAMSUNG Electronics
