About the book (Vol.1):
Learning and teaching inventiveness often hands us situations in which we fear completely unjustified leaps just as much as too rigorous a guidance. The editors of this book sought an antidote to the rigor brought on by too much guidance and the messy process brought on by no guidance at all. They consider play for learning and teaching (not only) inventiveness as a means to ensure engagement, creativity, experimentation – and results.
Understanding TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) as a versatile set of tools for inventive thinking, and using game and case elements as rather new teaching and learning techniques in TRIZ contexts, the combination of both go by the name “gamiTRIZation”. Herewith, the first volume of TRIZ Games and Cases is at hand, providing
- educational objectives and competencies,
- preparative hints for each game and case,
- exhaustive material lists,
- full game and case instructions and
- further links and readings.
The authors have tested all games and cases. They deliver insights into their TRIZ training elements, showing examples of a burgeoning set of techniques that leverage play for fostering inventiveness.

About the book (Vol.2):
Inventiveness can be learned and taught. This requires an open mindset with utmost flexibility in seeing opportunities – that can best be trained in a playful game setting. Unlike in games like chess and soccer, winning or losing such games is not the issue. The issue rather is to be ahead for a while: together as a group with new, inventive ideas in a given or changing situation. When lagging behind, guidance, tools and new rules may unleash inventiveness anew, all in view to solve problems and leapfrog old inventions. Seeing resources as sources, rules as poles of resilience and game settings as condensed learning situations to start from, makes players thrive through the inspirational world of inventive thinking. Understanding TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) as a versatile set of tools for inventive thinking, and using games and cases as rather new teaching and learning techniques in TRIZ contexts, the combination of both go by the name “gamiTRIZation”. Herewith, the second volume of TRIZ Games and Cases is at hand, providing
-
educational objectives and competencies
-

-

All authors have tested their games and use them in their trainings. They deliver insights into their frequently used TRIZ training elements, showing examples of a growing number of techniques that leverage play for fostering inventiveness to reach higher-level and joint invention.
