From the Publisher:

Most people and organizations struggle to come up with the next big idea is because they lack the ability to get outside their own box of thinking and practice. How do you get from what you don't know to what you know? That is the innovator's question. TRIZ defines the structured pathway for getting from what you know to what you don't know at the deepest levels of scientific inquiry and development. Using TRIZ, many companies have expedited the typically cumbersome and expensive R&D process. They've used TRIZ to streamline the process of innovation in the same way they might use Six Sigma to streamline the process of quality improvement.
