In your comment on Ellen's post, you write: "TRIZ... forces you to think about the “physics” of the problem." I agree with this statement, but would like to add that not all TRIZ tools explicitly force one to understand the "physics." ARIZ and sufield analysis do (provided, of course, they are used correctly), while the Matrix doesn't. Good article, John!

One thing I love about TRIZ is that it forces you to think about the "physics" of the problem. I end up asking a bunch of questions that sometimes gets the experts scratching their heads. It's amazing how much people can assume they know. On your blog point, I think people do use blogs as a means of knowledge capture and there may well be an analogy between the behaviours outlined in my MIT Sloan based article and use of blogs. No evidence to back this up, however. Thanks for your kind comments about my paper, you’re absolutely right about understanding the science.

Delighted to have the article--I really enjoyed the physics of foam, and the demonstration that without understanding the science behind the engineering, the "creativity" methods are wasted. It will be interesting to see if your regular readers click over to the TJ and comment there, or comment here (if at all--does the big company effect in the Sloan article carry over to blogs? I somehow think not.) Thanks! Ellen Domb, TRIZ Journal editor Wow, I didn’t know that The TRIZ Journal is “The big time.”
