WTSP Report (6) Catalogs of TRIZ and Around-TRIZ Sites in the World (Preparing for Gamma Edition)

Abstract

This is the sixth annual report of WTSP (World TRIZ-related Sites Project). We have already built the World Catalogs of Around-TRIZ (i.e., Creative Problem-Solving Methods in general around TRIZ) Websites (with 419 sites) by September 2022. But the World Catalogs of TRIZ Websites was made with only 62 Websites at that time, due to the lack of voluntary cooperation in many countries. Our difficulty is: “Many TRIZ colleagues support the WTSP Project, but very few of them actually work to build the World WTSP Catalogs”. The obvious reason is: “The talented people in TRIZ are always too busy in their business to do extra voluntary work”. In order to overcome the difficulties, we have made many different efforts to clarify our visions, build framework structures, show examples, send letters, publish results, etc. for 5 years and this year 2023. We now understand that the core of the hidden reasons is: “People do not yet recognize the (possible) Values (“Useful and Attractive”) of the World WTSP Catalogs because they have not yet really seen the Catalogs”. Therefore the present paper is dedicated to “explain the possible Values by showing the structures and examples and to convince people that we, the TRIZ experts in different countries, should create the Values and that such a Value creation is achievable with the procedure already demonstrated”. The paper summarizes the actual/targeted situations in 58 countries around the world for the preparation of the Gamma Edition of the World WTSP Catalogs.
