Oxford TRIZ fast paced and enjoyable in-house workshops create an opportunity for team building and confidential knowledge sharing. All our training (and the follow-on problem-solving facilitation) can be offered on-site, or in a venue of your choice. This ensures that your technical and management teams can learn together with the minimum disruption and learn from relevant examples from your industry’s challenges.
Delivered by Oxford TRIZ experts in energetic, interactive workshops for 8-16 delegates, our in-house training is always responsive to the needs of your whole group.
Level 1
- Technical TRIZ
- Business Innovation Tools
Level 1 workshops are four fast-paced days, enabling TRIZ novices to build confidence to apply and practise the logical TRIZ problem solving processes. This ensures they can ‘hit the ground running’ and immediately tackle their own issues. Our ‘training bootcamps’ are often described by delegates as the most useful and enjoyable ever experienced. The workshops also help develop a culture of innovation and encourage team building and knowledge sharing.
Level 2
- Advanced Innovative Problem Solving
- Patent & IP Development
After Level 1 TRIZ training, the next step is Level 2 (which builds confidence and competence in Systematic Problem Solving, plus a further option of Patent & IP Development with Oxford TRIZ).
Level 3
- Oxford TRIZ Facilitator training
To undertake Level 3, we work with you so you can run both learning and problem solving workshops. This is always a custom built programme, tailored for you and your organisation. This is normally undertaken by talented TRIZ enthusiasts who wish to facilitate and guide others to use the power of the TRIZ. Working alongside our Oxford TRIZ experts (through co-facilitation) you build confidence and experience to be able to teach and guide your in-house teams so they can tackle and resolve tough problems together.
Benefits of Oxford TRIZ In-house Training
We teach Oxford TRIZ to build your busy teams’ practical problem-solving skills to ensure break-through results regularly and on demand. Oxford TRIZ enhances and completes all other techniques as it offers solution triggers, (far beyond brain-storming ) to systematically locate pragmatic answers / concepts . This unique aspect of reaching solutions with TRIZ makes it suitable for everyone. It adds to the skills of those who are experts in management methods (like green or black belts) and is invaluable to delegates without any previous exposure to other toolkits.
How does it work?
Our many collaborative, step by step exercises, on pre-printed A0 work sheets (or editable pdf’s for online sessions) were carefully developed with major blue-chip customers. Your people work together in groups of 3-4 which helps embed all learning and ensures equal participation of all learning types. Lively interaction while working together on problem examples ensures that your teams:
- Learn how to solve problems fast
- Embed a culture of innovation
- Easily adapt to changing circumstances in your organisation and the wider world
- Learn and feel confident about how to apply each TRIZ tool
- Participate together while both completing exercises & in expert led feedback
- Achieve high mental concentration, through the fast pace, and the many and frequent opportunities for learning by ‘doing rather than listening’
- Get to know, respect and (mostly) like each other as they share knowledge, experiences, & ideas
- Protect & extend your IP territory and learn how to leap-frog competitors' advancements
- Remember and enjoy the examples, with many challenging opportunities to solve real problems
- Learn practical hands-on processes at every stage, to help feel confident retain all learning
- Apply and hone their TRIZ skills and learn systematic, step by step problem solving processes.
