About the Book

"Well presented, practical book, that everybody should have in his pocket" Michel Lecoq (Engineer with 50 years of experience in product, process and business development). Unlike other books that talk about innovation, Inventor's Manual tells you what to do and how to do it in order to achieve the best result faster. Unlike other books on innovation it is ... thin and manageable. It is a lesson with visual appeal, making use of pictures, diagrams and striking examples. This manual can also be helpful for professional trouble-shooters due to its "tick-box" and procedure-like style. The algorithms of the Inventor's Manual are based on a Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (known by its Russian acronym TRIZ), which is a highly adaptable and overarching methodology. But you do not need to know TRIZ to be able to use the Inventor's Manual. The following features make the Inventor's Manual unique: - Step-by-step problem diagnostics and templates for defining the Ideal Final Result which you will not find in any book on TRIZ - Templates for thorough reflection on the context of a product design that are not explicitly presented in TRIZ at all, but which are a very important system thinking aid especially if you are dealing with complex engineering or social system. - "Shortcuts" in the systematic process that allow you to resolve your challenges instantly using simple templates - Inventive Principles have detailed descriptions in connection to the model of the inventive challenges they resolve. You will not find this in any book published on TRIZ - You will find the influence of natural rules for dealing with resources, complexities and ways to avoid problems that are not present in ordinary TRIZ methods. Enjoy your own natural problem-solving talent following the Inventor's Manual!
