Rikie Ishii, Representative of Idea Plant

I want to increase the number of people who generate creative ideas. This was my intention when I created this card set from the TRIZ body of knowledge. I have designed them to be user friendly, particularly when working to make improvements in technical areas and when brainstorming in the initial stages of projects for the creation of new inventions.
