Dear Fellow TRIZ Enthusiasts,
Today, as we celebrate International TRIZ Day, I find myself reflecting on the incredible legacy of Genrikh Altshuller, whose birthday we commemorate. His work has touched all of our lives, sparking innovation across the globe. As I write to you, I'm filled with gratitude for each one of you who carries forward his vision.
This past year has been a notable chapter for MATRIZ Official, hasn't it? Thanks to your dedication and passion, we've reached some exciting milestones. I'd love to share a few highlights that have made me particularly proud:
- Our New "TRIZ Specialist in Education" Course. Remember our discussions about integrating TRIZ more deeply into the educational sector? Well, we've taken a significant step in that direction! This new certification program is designed to equip educators with the tools to seamlessly incorporate TRIZ principles into various educational contexts. I'm excited to see how this systemic approach will foster creative problem-solving skills across different levels of education.
- TRIZ Methodology Forum (TMF-2024). What a gathering of minds this was! Over 70 of us came together online to share insights and push TRIZ forward. The energy was palpable, even through our screens. Your contributions have given us so much to think about for the future of TRIZ.
- International TRIZ Conference (ITC-2024) in Dubai. As I write this, many of our colleagues are in Dubai, sharing ideas and innovations.This conference feels like a family reunion of sorts, doesn't it? A family united by our passion for creative problem-solving.
- Growth in TRIZ Expert Certifications. MATRIZ Official has cemented its position as the premier certifying body for TRIZ Level 4 and Level 5 experts. The growing preference for certification through our association underscores our commitment to rigorous standards and excellence in TRIZ education and practice.
None of this would be possible without you – our members, partners, and TRIZ enthusiasts. Your tireless efforts are the heartbeat of MATRIZ Official. If you know someone who might enjoy being part of our community, why not invite them to our next event? The more minds we bring together, the more innovation we can spark.
As we raise a toast to Altshuller today, let's also celebrate each other and the future we're creating together. Here's to another year of solving problems, big and small!
Happy International TRIZ Day, everyone!
With warmth and appreciation,
Oleg Feygenson, PhD, TRIZ Mater.
