Designing the Inventive Way in the Innovation Era

Résumé

Tools and methods developed during the era of quality and optimisation have shown their limitations and become inappropriate in the context of the requirements of innovation. Nowadays the need to rebuild design practices in enterprises is strongly felt in terms of human skills and methodological expertise. In part, a way to face the innovation era’s difficulties has been provided through a framework proposed by the theory of inventive problem-solving (also known through its acronym TRIZ). But as TRIZ becomes more popular in academia and industry, difficulties to obtain the best out of it is strongly felt whether we use its simplified versions or its computerised one. This chapter addresses this difficulty in presenting an original and complete framework, using an industrial example that integrates most of TRIZ fundamentals in a methodology (namely Inventive Design Method—IDM) that extends it to guide inventive practices in R&D departments.
