Topic : TRIZ for Smart Investment Decisions

Mentor : Dr. Simon S.Litvin, PhD, TRIZ Master.

CEO GEN TRIZ, LLC, USA
Chairman of TRIZ Master Certification Council (TMCC) of MATRIZ

About the Master Class

It is a common practice for companies and venture capital funds (VC) to acquire some
companies and technologies. In many cases, they are investing in technologies at the early stages of development. Unfortunately, the success rate of such acquisitions and investment is low. Statistically, one out of 20 investments brings significant ROI (which defines a success). Of course, companies and VCs are trying to increase the success rate by executing a Due Diligence (DD) of the target technology or company. However, traditional DD does not bring accurate results due to lack of specific tools for technology evaluation.

TRIZ with its methodological tools, such as Main Parameters of Value Discovery, Trends of Engineering System Evolution, Quantum Economic Analysis, Failure Anticipation Analysis, and GEN TRIZ Benchmarking allow to significantly increase accuracy of technology due diligence. It makes evaluation of an opportunity identified by the client more reliable and presents recommendations for going forward. It helps companies and VCs avoid costly mistakes with regard to acquisitions or investments by identifying potential technology-related hurdles that could be costly or difficult to overcome

GEN TRIZ evaluates the candidate technology against the following criteria:

• Market needs, current and emerging (using MPV analysis);
• Estimated market size;
• Competitive offerings, current and emerging competitive technology platforms;
• Technology development potential (using Trends of Engineering System
  Evolution);
• Strength of the Intellectual Property (using Patent Circumvention technique);
• Ownership qualification;
• Level of technology development;
• Potential failures of the technology (using Failure Anticipation Analysis);
• Time and cost of required investment into R&D, IP protection, etc.
• Export control issues such as Dual Use Technologies; regulations issues, etc.

Over the past 15 years, GEN TRIZ has helped support multiple acquisition and investment successes. In some cases we identified the opportunity; in others we evaluated an opportunity identified by the client and presented recommendations for going forward; many of these initiatives have now successfully been commercialized. In addition, we have helped clients avoid costly mistakes with regard to acquisitions or investments by identifying potential technology-related hurdles that could be costly or difficult to overcome

Our investment and/or acquisition recommendations are based on a unique and powerful
technology assessment and technology forecasting process – the client benefits with a technology due diligence based on data that no other process can collect. GEN TRIZ has access to broad and deep technology expertise and analytics that allow us to analyze a wide range of technologies. The result is (1) significantly reduced acquisition or investment risk and (2) a greater probability of achieving the desired ROI.

Benefits of attending

Participants will be introduced to scientifically based approach to Due Diligence process that will help them to make smarter investment decisions.

Key takes away and learning

• Investment could be a reliable process with high ROI rather than game.
• There is a systematic TRIZ-based approach to the Due Diligence process.
• There are methodological tools that makes the Due Diligence process more instrumental
  and effective.

Topic : Alternate Market Identification

Mentor : Dr. Oleg Abramov, TRIZ Master

Chief Technology Officer, GENTRIZ LLC, USA
Board Member, MATRIZ & Academic Secretary TMCC

About the Master Class

Entering adjacent markets is a well-recognized and effective way of expanding a business without its dramatic transformation. Therefore, the identification of adjacent markets is a very popular service from TRIZ consultants.

Modern TRIZ recommends using the Reversed Function-Oriented Search (RFOS) as a major tool for identifying adjacent markets for existing products. In practice, however, using RFOS is not always particularly straightforward, because (1) it is often necessary to find new markets / applications for technology and equipment involved in the production of a product, rather than for an existing product, and (2) the product itself may not be a separate product intended for the end user, but a component for some other product. However, RFOS is not the only useful TRIZ tool that can be used to identify new markets for existing products and technologies. Based on practical experience in TRIZ consulting, a roadmap for identifying adjacent markets have been developed, which includes the analysis of Main Parameters of Value, Voice of the Product, screening based on the Quantum-Economic Analysis (QEA-screening) and other TRIZ tools, in addition to RFOS. The roadmap is applicable for all kind of products as well as for technologies involved in their production. A few case studies will be presented to illustrate the use of the roadmap.

Benefits of attending:

• General knowledge will be gained on systematic and reliable way of adjacent markets
  identification (AMI)
• Applying this knowledge may help expanding your business without large capital investments and dramatic transformation of the business

Key take away & learning:

• Main tools of modern TRIZ that are used for AMI will be described
• The roadmap for using these tools for AMI will be presented
• A few case studies will be described to better comprehend the AMI procedure

Topic : Inventing new services in a systematic way

Speaker : Valeri Souchkov, TRIZ Master

Vice President of Development and Communication, MATRIZ
President of the International Business TRIZ Association
Founder ICG Training & Consulting

About the Master Class

Transition to knowledge and digital economies, further globalization of production and distribution of goods and services strongly increased competition on a broad scale and forced both industrial and service delivering organizations to seek new ways to differentiate and add value.

Developing innovative ways to provide service operations, marketing and sales of services, dealing with suppliers, establishing new value networks became common for both small and large organizations. One can say that today, business innovation becomes as critical as engineering innovation. Services are a large part of modern economy which experiences continuous growth. In high-income countries, services’ value added accounts for 70-75 percent of GDP.

As any other category of business, the area of business services becomes highly competitive. Creation of new services and innovative improvement of existing ones which are delivered by
business organizations becomes critical for survival. No doubt, innovation of business services becomes an area of study to understand how to perform this process more efficiently and effectively.

This master class explains how one of the TRIZ Trends of Systems Evolution can be practically applied to systematically create new services. There are no restrictions on which types of services can be invented. This TRIZ Trend is called “Transition to Supersystem” and explains how the existing services can be innovatively evolved through the use of supersystem resources. The master class will explain the theoretical background behind the TRIZ Trend of Transition to Supersystem, demonstrate examples of new services based on the trend, introduce the technique of inventing new services, and provide practice by inventing new services right in the class.

Benefits of attending:

Increasing capabilities of becoming more competitive on the market of business services.

Key takeaways:

Knowledge of the TRIZ Trend of Systems Evolution through Transition to Supersystem applied to services; the technique of inventing new services through the use of supersystem resources, ability to quickly generate ideas of new innovative services.
