TRIZ Step-by-Step for Business Model Innovation

Confirm your understanding of challengev2 using the TRUE NORTH format and summarize the input.

List all constraints and restrictions related to challengev2, and confirm that generated ideas will respect them.

Identify potential users affected by the innovation and define two objectives or challenges per user in a chart with these columns: USER | Objective/Challenges | Contradiction(s) | Ideal State.

Break the key challenges into manageable sub-challenges.

Perform a TRIZ Contradiction Analysis focused on the 10 most significant contradictions. Generate one specific, unique idea for each contradiction, tailored to challengev2.

Conduct a TRIZ Functional Analysis to identify system functions and sub-functions. Generate 10 specific, unique ideas addressing the functional challenges of challengev2.

Apply TRIZ System Operator Analysis to examine system components and interactions. Generate 10 specific ideas for challengev2.

Use TRIZ-inspired scenario planning to identify bottlenecks in the ideas generated so far and propose ideas to address them.

Benchmark the ideas generated so far against known solutions for relevance and usefulness, then generate 10 additional, specific ideas.

Generate 80 ideas for challengev2 using the 40 TRIZ Inventive Principles, with two ideas per principle.

Generate another 80 ideas for challengev2 by combining TRIZ Inventive Principles with other TRIZ methods, such as Su-Field Analysis and Standard Solutions.

Identify the 10 strongest ideas generated so far. For each, propose an improvement using another TRIZ Inventive Principle or a combination of principles. Present the results in a chart with: original idea | source of the idea | new inventive principle(s) applied | improved idea.

As an innovation expert, create two lists of three related stimuli based on the work so far. Combine each stimulus with the top ideas to generate 90 ideas.

Compile a comprehensive chart of all ideas generated, with: idea name | idea description | source of the idea | value of the idea | meaningfulness rating (0–10) | uniqueness rating (0–10) | score calculated as 0.6 × meaningfulness rating + 0.4 × uniqueness rating.

Select the 10 ideas most likely to meet the objectives and constraints in challengev2. Present them in a chart with: idea name | idea | objectives delivered.
