The Challenge.

As a Consultant, when a client contracts my services to facilitate a VA/VE workshop, it is important to
deliver results — a lot of which depends on the creativity of the workshop participants. I needed to find
a way to ensure that I always get lots of good ideas from practically any workshop participant.

The Solution

GB TRIZ provided the tool I needed. It is a powerful, easy to learn and use method based on TRIZ. The
Inventive Principles, organized in a logical table of creativity, provide the spark necessary to ignite the
mixture of past-proven solutions to similar problems, individual skills and experiences, and specialized
product knowledge available on the team, into solutions which had not previously been considered.

The Result

As a facilitator, having proficiency in the GB TRIZ methodology, I can confidently lead the Value
Management workshop team to discover their own individual creativity (which may have been hidden
or ignored previously) to generate workable solutions to the problem at hand (the subject of the
workshop). I have the tools that give me a competitive advantage over other workshop facilitators,
which allows me to consistently exceed the client’s expectations and deliver more ideas, better ideas,
faster. Every time.
