I promised a while ago that I’d publish something about Technology Forecasting, which is my current occupation in Milan, Italy. I presented a talk on technology forecasting in Politecnico di Milano. I have attached the slideshow to this post. Enjoy! Please feel free to download the presentation [google-drive-embed url=”https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B3EZPxN_ojAfTV9aazdCRWx1Rms&export=download” title=”2013_03_08_Bala_Ramadurai-Technology Forecasting.pptx” icon=”https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_10_powerpoint_list.png” style=”download”] [google-drive-embed url=”https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fsSr-IG9tO99z5Zb0eht2nTwcWtvfnOaJjsZVfl2hvI/preview” title=”2013_03_08_Bala_Ramadurai-Technology Forecasting” icon=”https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_11_presentation_list.png” width=”100%” height=”400″ style=”embed”]

ARIZ can be used to solve problems.  Some tips that I have learnt from experts in the field are: ARIZ is very methodical and systematic. Try to persist till you get the right solution ARIZ can sometimes be painstakingly long, so if you are unable to solve your problem through other means, by all means, try those.

I am a parent with 2 kids and I am finding it difficult to control the amount of non-school time they are spending on the internet and digital mobile games. This I am concerned with considering the effects of such engagement on the kids holistic development and well being (body, mind and social development). We (me and my friend Bala) are applying ARIZ 85 C core algorithm of TRIZ to find the right level of problem to attack and find not-so-obvious solutions, and subsequently identify system, and sub-systems to build.

TRIZ (Russian acronym for Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) has been known for many decades. Innovation for mankind has been around since fire and wheel were invented and used successfully. Prior to TRIZ and its ally ARIZ (The Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving), inventing was best left to people who were born with such a gift (or believed they were born with such a gift). With the advent and successful implementations of TRIZ/ARIZ to solve many challenging problems, one can confidently say that inventiveness can certainly be learnt.

Set in the picturesque GE Bangalore campus had some interesting pick of speakers. Thanks to GE for being a great host. Peter from Reliance was hyper selective with his picks with just the contradiction and principles as the approach and I liked what worked in teams from his experiments. Of course he hit the mark with India being a country of contradictions. Sergei shared some interesting roi numbers and gave clear idea of Triz evolution.

I am right now in Milan, Italy in close proximity to some of the people who have dedicated their careers to helping others solve problems. One of them is my friend and colleague, Dmitry Kucharavy. The simple question I asked him about 2 weeks ago was “What is the history of TRIZ?”.Dmitry replied, “I am sending you a bunch of links, where I have attempted to answer the exact same question that everybody asks me on a routine basis.
