The foundation of any engineering manager’s toolkit is an understanding
This course provides a basic introduction to the Inventive Problem of core management theory.
Solving Process known as “TRIZ” (Russian acronym for “Theory of
Inventive Problem Solving”). TRIZ is a structured, “left-brained” approach This course takes the theory and applies it to real-world situations
