TRIZ Problem Solving
The TRIZ training held on 24 February 2025, led by Prof. Dr. C. Ruhi Kaykayoğlu, went beyond intuitive problem solving to provide a foundation for systematic thinking that can be applied from engineering to strategy. TRIZ exists not to generate solutions, but to identify contradictions and turn them into opportunities.

Inside the project
Focus
How can a contradiction be transformed from an obstacle to improvement into a map to the solution?
This project focused on addressing training needs through TRIZ tools. Participants worked on their own technical problems.
The account of this project was structured around the organization's own definition of its needs.
The TRIZ training led by Ruhi Kaykayoğlu went beyond intuitive problem solving to provide a foundation for systematic thinking that can be applied from engineering to strategy.
TRIZ is a thinking discipline that makes technical contradictions within a problem visible before rushing to generate solutions.
Scope
We worked with participants on the systematic thinking behind TRIZ, going beyond intuition in problem solving. We examined its use across engineering and strategy, focusing on identifying contradictions and considering them as opportunities.
Implementation
WHY WAS TRIZ USED?
TRIZ was used to help teams make technical and physical contradictions within a problem visible before trying to generate solutions directly. Once the contradiction becomes visible, solution patterns become traceable.
The real value of TRIZ lies not in a catalog of solutions but in changing how we view a problem.
The journey we designed
- 01EXPLOREA situation map was developed by considering the organization's real needs, current ways of working and external signals together.
- 02REFRAMEParticipants practiced creative problem solving and application through their own real work problems.
- 03BRING IT INTO THE ORGANIZATIONA follow-through plan was developed with teams to connect the methods learned to daily workflows.
Kaykayoğlu project insight
Speed in problem solving comes not from the search for solutions but from the depth of contradiction analysis.
