Creativity and innovation are often hard to achieve, and the lessons from the past show that for many business success and innovation do not always go hand in hand. Resistance to good ideas is possibly the major root cause for lack of change in businesses today, and Six Sigma is probably the most powerful strategy management programme for practical and cultural change that we have.

Resistance comes from

  • the Not Invented Here syndrome
  • lack of management support
  • poor presentation of ideas
  • prejudice and hostility
  • lack of salesmanship from the inventor

Even with powerful tools from TRIZ there are many difficulties to trap the unwary. Six Sigma has proven itself over many years as a tool for providing structure and rigour to problem solving, but it supplies a strong framework and organisational structure to overcome many of the above issues. The DMAIC problem solving methodology is exceptional in what it can achieve, and many organisations are finding that the framework of DMAIC together with the corporate structure of project teams, Champions and Black Belts is the key to outstanding success.

By combining TRIZ and Six Sigma together we get the best of both worlds. Creativity and innovation are essential everywhere in life and TRIZ should not be just for the engineers and designers! On its own TRIZ can be very technical and product focused, however by using DMAIC rather than ARIZ (algorithm for inventive problem solving) to drive TRIZ the approach is simplified as a tool for everyone within the mainstream business.

Six Sigma brings cross functional project teams and strong focus to solving real business problems, and the benefits for the TRIZ programme are

  • a 'Clearly Invented Here' syndrome
  • strong management support and focus
  • exceptional presentation support for ideas
  • elimination or mitigation of prejudice and hostility
  • self-promotion and of salesmanship from the team
