MEM Webinar on November 7: "TRIZ - The Theory of Creative Problem Solving"
Dan Heck Hosts Upcoming Professional Development Opportunity
Our affinity for engineering comes from our love of right answers. The challenge for engineers is that the disciplined applications of known knowledge are just the wrong processes and mindsets required to solve unknown problems. Why do some engineers and scientists think so much more radically than others? Why are most inventions incremental and boring, but about 20% are blockbusters or paradigm shifters? Attend this webinar to learn about TRIZ - the theory of creative problem solving - and how it is taught and practiced around the world.
TRIZ - The Theory of Creative Problem Solving
