Most people when ask about creativity, will said that creativity cannot be taught. But amazingly it's not totally true. Creativity can be divided into two: Art Creativity and Problem Solving Creativity. It's true that Art Creativity can't be taught but Problem Solving Creativity can be taught. And one the answer is by using TRIZ.

Why use TRIZ? The answer is you can find a lot of book in the internet or book store that talk about creativity or innovation but they just TALK about creativity not how to be creative or innovative. And why creativity or innovation is so important? some of The Gurus says, "A company which, is not capable of Innovation, is doomed to decline and extinction"(Peter Drucker), "Innovation is the fuel for growth, When a company runs out of innovation, it runs out of growth"(Gary Hamel).

So, what is TRIZ? TRIZ is referring to Russian word which mean Theory of Inventive Problem Solving in English. It was created by Genrich Altshuller(1926-1998) a Russian engineer and scientist, journalist and writer. Altshuller embarked on finding some generic rules that would explain creation of new, inventive, patentable ideas. During his research, he hat studied over 2,000,000 patents and he has found that there are 5 levels of inventiveness, 40 inventive principles and 8 trends of evolution.

There are a few of key findings in his 2 Million patent and the one that can be noted as a powerful statement is "Someone, somewhere, has already solved a problem like yours".

The TRIZ Problem solving Process flow can be describe as Perceive Problem -> Investigate -> Problem Statement -> Brainstorm -> Solution Ideas -> Evaluate Ideas. Investigate can be break into 3 which is Function Attribute Analysis, Space Time Interface and Ideal Final Result IFR.

One of the uses of Function Attribute Analysis is to understand the function and functionality at the most basic level as it may helps identify Root Cause, thus breaking Psychological Inertia. As for the Space Time Interface it help us to see the from different perspectives which will result in differing maps that could identify contradictions. The concept of Ideal Final Result(IFR) is to try to think how to achieve a function without cost or harm.

As for contradictions it means two parameters in conflict for example Strength vs Weight, High quality vs low cost. All systems contain contradictions. Many improvement strategies assume 'compromise', 'trade-offs" or Optimization as a way to deal with contradiction. The best solution is the one that doesn't accept the trade-offs. Creative solution emerge when we replace "Vs" with "And". For example High Strength AND low weight, High Quality AND Low Cost.

" Dari Abu Abdul Rahman, Abdullah bin Mas'ud r.a, katanya Rasulullah SAW telah menceritakan kepada kami, sedangkan baginda seorang yang benar dan dibenarkan kata-katanya, sabdanya : ' Sesungguhnya sesaorang kamu dikumpulkan kejadiannya dalam perut ibunya selama 40 hari berupa setitik air mani, kemudian menjadi segumpal darah selama itu pula, kemudian seketul daging seperti yand demikian itu juga, iaitu 40 hari. Kemudian diutuskan kepadanya malaikat, lalu ditiupkan roh kepadanya dan diperintahkan menulis empat pekara : rezekinya, ajalnya, amalannya, celaka dan bahagianya. Maka demi Allah yang tiada Tuhan selain daripadaNya, sesungguhnya seseorang kamu itu tetap akan beramal dengan amalan ahli syurga sehinggalah di antaranya dengan syurga itu jaraknya cuma sehasta sahaja. Tiba-tiba dia telah didahului oleh tulisannya ( suratan takdir ) sehingga dia beramal dengan amalan ahli neraka, maka masuklah ia ke dalam neraka. Dan sesungguhnya sesaorang kamu tetap akan beramal dengan amalan ahli neraka sehinggalah di antara dirinya dengan neraka cuma sehasta saja. Tiba-tiba dia telah didahului oleh tulisannya sehingga dia beramal dengan amalan ahli syurga, maka akhirnya masuklah dia ke dalam syurga itu. "
