Everything about Genrich Altshuller totally explained
Genrikh Saulovich Altshuller (Ге́нрих Сау́лович Альтшу́ллер ) (
October 15,
1926 -
September 24,
1998), penname
Genrikh Altov was born in
Tashkent,
Uzbekistan was a Russian
engineer and
scientist,
journalist and
writer.
He created the
Teoriya Resheniya Izobreatatelskikh Zadatch (Theory of Solving Inventive Problems or
TRIZ), in English called the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TIPS). Working as a
clerk in a
patent office, Altshuller embarked on finding some generic rules that would explain creation of new, inventive, patentable ideas. During one of
Joseph Stalin's purges he was imprisoned for political reasons and continued his studies with his fellow inmates while in a
labor camp. After his release, Altshuller settled in
Baku,
Azerbaijan.
He worked as a journalist, essayist, and a
science fiction writer. He published his science fiction under the pseudonym Genrikh Altov (Генрих Альтов), often in collaboration with his wife,
Valentina Zhuravleva.
A full-fledged TRIZ movement developed among Russian engineers and other technically inclined people by the 1970s, and Altshuller played the role of its intellectual leader. He lectured at TRIZ congresses, published articles and books and corresponded with various TRIZ practitioners. He became the founding member and president of the Russian TRIZ Association. A number of his close friends and students have become the most prominent thinkers and teachers of the movement, popularizing TRIZ in
Russia and abroad.
For a long time he published articles on TRIZ, with examples and exercises, in the Soviet popular science magazine
Izobretatel i Ratsionalizator (
Inventor and Innovator).
Altshuller left Baku in the early 1990s amidst post-
Soviet-breakup violence in the area. He settled in
Petrozavodsk (
Karelia in north-western
Russia) with his wife and granddaughter. As a result, Petrozavodsk became the center of the TRIZ Association.
He died from complications of
Parkinson's disease in 1998.
The tools developed under Altshuller's leadership are:
The different schools for TRIZ and individual practitioners have continued to improve and add to the methodology.
