Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of innovation management, traditional TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) methodologies face significant challenges in addressing the complexities introduced by AI and digital transformation. This paper introduces DIKWP-TRIZ, an advanced framework that transitions from traditional problem-solving to a purpose-driven 3-No problem-solving approach. By integrating the DIKWP model (Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom, Purpose) with TRIZ principles, DIKWP-TRIZ enhances innovation processes through dynamic interactions within Cognitive Space, Semantic Space, and Conceptual Space. This study maps traditional TRIZ principles to the DIKWP framework, conducts cognitive space coverage analysis, evaluates redundancies and inconsistencies, and establishes complexity standards. Empirical case studies validate DIKWP-TRIZ's effectiveness in modern, multi-dimensional innovation environments.

The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), developed by Genrich Altshuller, revolutionized innovation management by providing a systematic approach to resolving technical contradictions. Traditional TRIZ focuses on identifying and solving these contradictions using tools like the Contradiction Matrix and the 40 Inventive Principles. While TRIZ has been instrumental in various industries such as engineering, manufacturing, and product design, it operates under a Closed World Assumption (CWA). This assumption treats the problem space as static and well-defined, which limits TRIZ's effectiveness in dynamic, multi-dimensional environments.

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital transformation, the innovation landscape has become increasingly complex. Modern problems are characterized by rapid changes, real-time data processing, and multi-dimensional interactions, requiring more adaptive and flexible problem-solving methodologies. Traditional TRIZ's static framework struggles to accommodate these demands, highlighting the need for an evolved approach.

This research introduces DIKWP-TRIZ, an extension of traditional TRIZ that incorporates the DIKWP model (Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom, Purpose). DIKWP-TRIZ transitions from traditional problem-solving to a purpose-driven 3-No problem-solving approach, enabling more dynamic and adaptive innovation processes.

Purpose:

• To introduce and analyze DIKWP-TRIZ as an advanced framework that extends traditional TRIZ.

• To demonstrate how DIKWP-TRIZ shifts from problem-solving to purpose-driven 3-No problem-solving.

• To evaluate the effectiveness of DIKWP-TRIZ in modern, AI-driven, and digital environments through cognitive, semantic, and conceptual space analysis.

Significance:

• Theoretical Contribution: Enhances innovation theory by integrating the DIKWP model with TRIZ, addressing the limitations of traditional TRIZ in dynamic environments.

• Practical Impact: Provides industries and research institutions with a more adaptable and efficient tool for managing complex innovation processes, particularly in AI and digital transformation contexts.

TRIZ originated from Genrich Altshuller’s systematic analysis of 40,000 patents to identify patterns of inventive solutions. TRIZ introduces a structured approach to problem-solving, emphasizing the resolution of technical contradictions. Key tools include:

• Contradiction Matrix: Helps identify which of the 40 Inventive Principles to apply based on conflicting system parameters.

• 40 Inventive Principles: Provide general strategies for overcoming obstacles in innovation.

• Substance-Field Analysis: Analyzes and improves interactions within a system.

• Ideal Final Result (IFR): Encourages imagining the best possible outcome without constraints.

TRIZ has been successfully applied across various sectors, including engineering, manufacturing, and product design, facilitating significant innovations and efficiency improvements.

Core Tools and Methods:

• 40 Inventive Principles: These principles serve as fundamental strategies for resolving contradictions and fostering creativity. For example, Segmentation (Principle 1) and Prior Action (Principle 10).

• Contradiction Matrix: A tool that helps in selecting appropriate inventive principles to resolve specific technical contradictions.

• Substance-Field Analysis: Used for optimizing system interactions by analyzing the substances and fields involved.

Applications:

• Engineering: Enhancing product functionality while reducing costs.

• Manufacturing: Streamlining processes and improving quality.

• Product Design: Innovating new features and improving user experience.

TRIZ’s structured methodology has made it a valuable asset in driving systematic innovation and solving complex technical problems.

Despite its strengths, traditional TRIZ faces several limitations, particularly in the context of modern innovation challenges:

• Static Problem-Solving Framework: TRIZ operates under CWA, treating problems as static and well-defined, which limits its effectiveness in dynamic environments where problems evolve rapidly.

• Incompleteness in Addressing Multi-Dimensional Problems: Traditional TRIZ lacks the tools to handle problems that span multiple dimensions and require real-time adaptability.

• Redundancy and Inconsistency: Some TRIZ principles overlap in functionality, leading to redundancies. Additionally, certain principles can offer conflicting solutions, complicating the innovation process.

• Inefficiency in AI and Digital Environments: The vast data inputs and need for rapid processing in AI and digital systems overwhelm TRIZ’s ability to provide timely and efficient solutions.

These limitations necessitate an evolved approach that can manage the complexities and dynamic nature of modern innovation environments.

DIKWP-TRIZ was developed to address the shortcomings of traditional TRIZ by integrating it with the DIKWP model. The DIKWP model consists of five interrelated elements:

• Data (D): Raw, unprocessed inputs.

• Information (I): Processed data that provides context and meaning.

• Knowledge (K): Structured information used for decision-making.

• Wisdom (W): The ability to apply knowledge strategically.

• Purpose (P): The driving force behind the innovation process.

DIKWP-TRIZ leverages these elements to create a dynamic, multi-dimensional problem-solving framework. Unlike TRIZ’s static approach, DIKWP-TRIZ operates under Open World Assumptions (OWA), allowing for continuous adaptation and real-time interactions among the core elements. This integration enhances TRIZ’s capabilities, making it more suitable for complex, AI-driven, and digital innovation challenges.

The DIKWP model serves as the foundation for DIKWP-TRIZ, providing a structured yet flexible framework for innovation. Each element of DIKWP represents a distinct layer in the problem-solving process:

• Data (D): Represents the raw, unstructured inputs that are collected from various sources.

• Information (I): Involves the processing and contextualization of data to make it meaningful.

• Knowledge (K): Entails the organization and structuring of information to support informed decision-making.

• Wisdom (W): The application of knowledge in a strategic and judicious manner to achieve optimal outcomes.

• Purpose (P): Defines the overarching goals and intentions driving the innovation process.

The DIKWP*DIKWP interaction model analyzes how these elements interact within Cognitive Space, Semantic Space, and Conceptual Space, facilitating a comprehensive and adaptive approach to problem-solving.

The process of mapping TRIZ’s 40 Inventive Principles to the DIKWP model involves aligning each principle with the relevant DIKWP elements based on their functional roles. This mapping ensures that all aspects of the problem space are adequately addressed within the DIKWP framework.

Mapping Process:

1. Categorization: Each TRIZ principle is categorized according to its primary function within the DIKWP elements.

• Data (D): Principles that involve handling raw inputs or enhancing data flow (e.g., Principle 1: Segmentation).

• Information (I): Principles that process or contextualize data (e.g., Principle 24: Intermediary).

• Knowledge (K): Principles that organize or structure information (e.g., Principle 10: Prior Action).

• Wisdom (W): Principles that apply knowledge strategically (e.g., Principle 35: Transformation of Physical and Chemical Properties).

• Purpose (P): Principles that define or align with the overarching goals (e.g., Principle 2: Taking Out).

2. Example Mappings:

• Principle 1 (Segmentation): Maps to Data (D) and Information (I) by breaking down data into manageable segments.

• Principle 10 (Prior Action): Maps to Knowledge (K) and Wisdom (W) by emphasizing proactive planning and strategic foresight.

• Principle 24 (Intermediary): Maps to Information (I) and Purpose (P) by using intermediaries to connect and achieve strategic goals.

3. Challenges and Solutions:

• Overlapping Principles: Some TRIZ principles may map to multiple DIKWP elements, requiring careful analysis to avoid redundancy.

• Conflicting Principles: When principles offer contradictory solutions, DIKWP-TRIZ resolves these conflicts through dynamic interactions within the model.

Cognitive Space refers to the extent to which the problem-solving framework covers the necessary dimensions of cognitive processes. Using the DIKWP*DIKWP 5x5 interaction model, we conduct a cognitive space coverage analysis to evaluate how comprehensively TRIZ principles, when mapped to DIKWP, address various problem-solving dimensions.

Steps:

1. Define Cognitive Dimensions: Identify key cognitive dimensions relevant to modern innovation, such as adaptability, real-time processing, multi-dimensional analysis, and strategic alignment.

2. Assess Coverage: Evaluate how each mapped TRIZ principle within DIKWP addresses these dimensions.

3. Identify Gaps: Highlight areas where traditional TRIZ lacks coverage and DIKWP-TRIZ provides enhancements.

Example:

• TRIZ Principle 10 (Prior Action): Enhances cognitive adaptability by allowing proactive adjustments based on emerging data, thus covering the dimension of strategic foresight.

• TRIZ Principle 24 (Intermediary): Facilitates real-time data processing and contextual adaptation, covering dimensions like real-time responsiveness and interconnectivity.

Redundancy: Identifying overlapping TRIZ principles that offer similar solutions when mapped to DIKWP elements.

• Example: Principle 5 (Merging) and Principle 7 (Nested Doll) both address combining system components, leading to redundancy in the Data (D) and Information (I) layers.

Inconsistency: Identifying TRIZ principles that offer conflicting strategies when mapped to DIKWP elements.

• Example: Principle 3 (Local Quality) focuses on enhancing specific components, while Principle 23 (Feedback) emphasizes continuous system-wide adjustments, leading to potential conflicts in the Knowledge (K) and Wisdom (W) layers.

Evaluation Process:

1. Map Principles: Use the DIKWP model to map all TRIZ principles.

2. Identify Overlaps: Look for principles that align with the same DIKWP elements and offer similar solutions.

3. Detect Conflicts: Identify principles that provide conflicting strategies within the same or overlapping DIKWP elements.

4. Resolve Issues: Streamline redundant principles and harmonize conflicting ones through DIKWP’s dynamic interactions.

Complexity Standards measure the efficiency and effectiveness of TRIZ rule combinations within the DIKWP framework. This is achieved by analyzing the interaction path lengths between DIKWP elements.

Steps:

1. Define Path Lengths: Determine the number of interaction steps required for a problem-solving process to transition between DIKWP elements.

2. Measure Complexity: Shorter paths indicate lower complexity and higher efficiency, while longer paths suggest greater complexity.

3. Establish Standards: Create benchmarks based on path lengths to evaluate and optimize TRIZ rule combinations.

Example:

• Simpler Path: Principle 1 (Segmentation) directly maps from Data (D) to Information (I) with a single interaction step.

• Complex Path: Principle 35 (Transformation of Physical and Chemical Properties) may require multiple interaction steps, moving from Knowledge (K) to Wisdom (W) to Purpose (P), indicating higher complexity.

Application:

• Use these standards to prioritize TRIZ principles that offer efficient, low-complexity solutions within the DIKWP framework, enhancing overall innovation process efficiency.

Mapping the 40 Inventive Principles of TRIZ to the DIKWP model reveals how each principle aligns with the five core elements: Data (D), Information (I), Knowledge (K), Wisdom (W), and Purpose (P). The mapping ensures that each principle contributes to a comprehensive problem-solving framework.

Example Mappings:

• Principle 1 (Segmentation): Maps to Data (D) and Information (I) by breaking down data into manageable segments.

• Principle 10 (Prior Action): Maps to Knowledge (K) and Wisdom (W) by emphasizing proactive planning and strategic foresight.

• Principle 24 (Intermediary): Maps to Information (I) and Purpose (P) by using intermediaries to connect and achieve strategic goals.

Mapping Table:

Note: The table above is illustrative. A complete table should include all 40 principles mapped accordingly.

Using the DIKWP*DIKWP 5x5 interaction model, we assess how comprehensively the mapped TRIZ principles cover the Cognitive Space. The analysis measures the ability of the DIKWP-TRIZ framework to address various cognitive dimensions required for modern innovation.

Findings:

• High Coverage in Data and Information: Many TRIZ principles effectively map to the Data (D) and Information (I) layers, ensuring robust data processing and contextual understanding.

• Moderate Coverage in Knowledge and Wisdom: While principles like Prior Action (K, W) and Feedback (K, W) cover strategic and adaptive aspects, some areas require further integration to fully utilize DIKWP-TRIZ’s potential.

• Lower Coverage in Purpose: Only a subset of principles directly address Purpose (P), indicating an opportunity to enhance purpose-driven problem-solving within the framework.

Comparison with Traditional TRIZ:

• Traditional TRIZ excels in static, well-defined problem spaces but lacks the dynamic, multi-layered interaction capabilities required for modern AI and digital challenges.

• DIKWP-TRIZ extends TRIZ by integrating purpose-driven elements and dynamic interactions, providing a more flexible and comprehensive innovation framework.

Mapping TRIZ principles to DIKWP reveals areas where multiple principles provide overlapping solutions, leading to redundancy. For example:

• Principle 5 (Merging) and Principle 7 (Nested Doll) both address the combination of system components, resulting in redundant strategies within the Data (D) and Information (I) layers.

Redundancy Table:

Note: Include a comprehensive table identifying all redundant TRIZ principles.

Inconsistencies arise when TRIZ principles offer conflicting strategies within the same DIKWP elements. For instance:

• Principle 3 (Local Quality) focuses on enhancing specific components, whereas Principle 23 (Feedback) emphasizes continuous, system-wide adjustments. This creates a conflict within the Knowledge (K) and Wisdom (W) layers, where improving local quality may hinder global feedback mechanisms.

Inconsistency Examples:

• Principle 3 (Local Quality) vs. Principle 23 (Feedback)

• Principle 1 (Segmentation) vs. Principle 25 (Self-service)

Redundancy:

• Inefficiency: Redundant principles can lead to duplicated efforts and inefficient problem-solving processes.

• Confusion: Overlapping principles may create confusion among practitioners, complicating the innovation process.

Inconsistency:

• Conflicting Solutions: Inconsistent principles can result in contradictory solutions, undermining the coherence and effectiveness of the innovation process.

• Decision-Making Challenges: Conflicts between principles make it difficult to prioritize and select the most appropriate strategy, slowing down problem resolution.

Resolution through DIKWP-TRIZ:

• Streamlining Principles: DIKWP-TRIZ eliminates redundancy by prioritizing principles that offer unique solutions within the DIKWP framework.

• Harmonizing Strategies: By leveraging the dynamic interactions within DIKWP, conflicting principles are harmonized, ensuring coherent and effective problem-solving.

Complexity Standards in DIKWP-TRIZ are constructed based on the interaction path lengths within the DIKWP model. Path length refers to the number of interaction steps required to transition from one DIKWP element to another during problem-solving. Shorter paths indicate lower complexity and higher efficiency, while longer paths suggest greater complexity and potential inefficiency.

Path Length Factors:

• Direct Interactions: Direct transitions between elements (e.g., Data to Information).

• Multi-Step Interactions: Multiple transitions involving intermediary elements (e.g., Data to Information to Knowledge).

Evaluation Process:

1. Define Interaction Paths: Identify the sequence of DIKWP elements involved in applying TRIZ principles.

2. Measure Path Lengths: Count the number of steps required for each interaction path.

3. Assess Complexity: Determine the complexity of each TRIZ rule combination based on path lengths. Shorter paths are preferred for their efficiency.

Example:

• Principle 1 (Segmentation): Maps directly from Data (D) to Information (I) with a single interaction step, indicating low complexity.

• Principle 35 (Transformation of Physical and Chemical Properties): Requires transitions from Knowledge (K) to Wisdom (W) to Purpose (P), resulting in a longer path length and higher complexity.

Case Study Application:

• AI Product Development: In an AI-driven product development scenario, TRIZ principles are mapped to DIKWP elements. Complexity standards are applied to assess the efficiency of different principle combinations, prioritizing those with shorter interaction paths to streamline the innovation process.

Comparison of Rule Combinations:

• Efficient Combination: Principles that map directly between DIKWP elements (e.g., Principle 1) offer faster, more efficient problem-solving.

• Complex Combination: Principles requiring multiple interaction steps (e.g., Principle 35) may lead to slower, more resource-intensive solutions.

Optimizing Innovation Processes:

• Efficiency Improvement: Complexity standards help identify and prioritize TRIZ rule combinations that offer the most efficient solutions, reducing innovation cycle times.

• Resource Allocation: By understanding the complexity of different rule combinations, organizations can better allocate resources to high-impact, low-complexity innovations.

• Scalability: Complexity standards ensure that innovation processes remain scalable, particularly in environments characterized by rapid data influx and real-time changes.
