Description:
TRIZ is a Russian acronym for a problem solving approach. In English, it stands for “The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.” We will introduce you to a clever yet simple way of getting un-stuck when you have a tough problem to deal with. Not everyone will choose to use it or think it applies to their problems, but learning new techniques always gets your unconscious brain to do more creative things despite what your conscious brain might believe.
