Summary: Excellent introductory book for the implementation of TRIZ.
Review: There are several wonderful reference books on the theory and background of TRIZ. This book, however, is one of only a few that leads the reader "Step-by-Step" through the process of actually implementing this powerful method.

I applaud John Terninko in recognizing the need for such a reference for those of us struggling with using the theory that the other books have taught us.

Summary: Completely fullfills its promise.
Review: This book is subtitled "An Introduction to TRIZ" and it completely lives up to this promise. It gives a brief history of TRIZ, states very systematically how to apply TRIZ and also has all the necessary tools to implement TRIZ. Sure enough, a 200 page book does not replace a multiple day course. Nevertheless, this is the first book I've read on TRIZ and I feel very confident that I understand and can apply TRIZ. I am charmed by the concept and will continue to explore it further. I found this book to be a very decent intro, provided you start off with an eagerness to learn, but that goes for all books on concepts/techniques/processes.
