Flatten Barriers to Change & Create a Tsunami of Innovation
Big waves of exciting, new, powerful solutions can sweep away old, established attitudes which unthinkingly reject anything new or NIH (Not Invented Here). Locating such answers has become available to multinational teams enabling them to simultaneously problem solve together across continents and time zones. Many of our customers are combining our online and face to face Oxford TRIZ workshops and achieving astonishing results and with the unexpected outcome of making an international innovative culture possible. As Peter Drucker famously said "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast", he also championed one of the corner stones of TRIZ advocating TRIMMING to change direction to build the best habits for effectiveness.
Any change, including embedding innovation through TRIZ, needs more than just a few sessions to break the status quo. We need to design test and apply, then apply again and again to embed the right practices. Like all good infrastructure changes an innovation culture doesn’t evolve overnight, it needs practice and practical action. We recommend our tried and tested method of getting your busy global teams to TRIZ problem solve together, no matter how far apart - something which is now possible with our online workshops. Successfully solving tough problems together with TRIZ can startlingly kick-start this process, getting attention and proving that TRIZ delivers innovation every time.
Online TRIZ has also transformed Oxford Creativity. Until March 2020 we were steadily busy, sometimes frantically so when many customers needed next-day help, calling on our Rapid Response Problem Programme. But As Covid struck and much business stopped we had to evoke our own rapid response processes to ensure within weeks all our training and problem solving was available to those locked down at home. The fast universal acceptance of online working and platforms like Zoom meant we could immediately meet the new demand and get your teams working together again no matter how far apart or isolated at home. This resolved the contradiction of being safely quarantined and working in a team.
Our bespoke in-house TRIZ training transforms and coheres teams. Learning Oxford TRIZ processes will help your team to become more innovative and problem solve together more efficiently.
Oxford Creativity’s courses are delivered by TRIZ experts in open, interactive workshops. Full of unique collaborative, exercises specifically designed over 25 years to reinforce learning of the TRIZ tools and problem solving skills. Bespoke in-house training can be customised to your organisation's needs and requirements, to ensure you can efficiently achieve
Improved culture of effective innovation
Extension of your IP & Patent territory leapfrogging your competitors
Toolkit coherence as TRIZ completes and enhances all other toolkits
Rapid response to changing circumstances
Available online or in-person, our bespoke training is developed for the specific needs and time-scale of your business, to ensure your busy teams get break-through results.
Whilst we love Oxford TRIZ Live Online Training we love being back in the (physical) classroom and truly believe that the most effective learning takes place when in-person, online live learning and eLearning courses are combined. Join us later this year for our in-person courses.

Article: Innovation Beyond BS
What does Innovation beyond BS mean to you? I coined the phrase in despair when yet another team thought a more effective BRAIN STORMING (BS) method was all they needed to achieve innovation.
My experience has taught me that TRIZ is the most efficient way to achieve real innovation and the best way to ensure consistent innovation is to embed TRIZ teachings and problem solving tools across organisation, paying particular attention to the parts of TRIZ which are most relevant and useful. Read my article to find out more.
Oxford Creativity have been working with BAE Systems solving problems with TRIZ for over 20 years. So, when BAE wanted to embed a culture of TRIZ throughout their entire organisation they used TRIZ to work out the best way to do this.
Read this case study to learn about the difficulties BAE faced embedding TRIZ globally and how they overcame them. Plus, find out how, using existing resources and TRIZ problem solving techniques BAE were able to successfully embed a culture of TRIZ across their entire organisation.
