A unique package of tools for successfully running innovation

The term "innovation" has a lot of facets. Is it really possible to execute innovation as a process in the form of a series of definite steps? The most leading and successful of companies answer positively to this question. As with any other process, they systematically develop, manage and monitor their innovation performance, rigorously avoiding trial-and-error methods and reducing risks and costs during new product development.

TriS Europe has studied innovation best practises and industrial innovation methods over the years. Our TriS-IDEAS toolbox is a unique package of innovation tools for industry - for the continuous product development and for the front-end disruptive innovation. It was developed through the close co-operation we have with our customers: R&D and marketing departments of corporations and medium-sized enterprises and tested through application in numerous innovation projects.

The TriS-IDEAS toolbox helps to make innovation success predictable and repeatable. It contains best practice innovation methods of the Advances Innovation Design Approach and TRIZ-Methodology: from capturing existing and future customer wants and needs, benchmarking with competitors' innovations, through to systematic and inventive idea generation with TRIZ and selection of best innovation concepts.

TriS-IDEAS Toolbox: Agentic Workflows for AI-powered Innovation and Invention

The TriS-IDEAS toolbox helps to make innovation success predictable and repeatable. It contains best practice innovation methods of the Advanced Innovation Design Approach (AIDA) and TRIZ Methodology: from capturing existing and future customer wants and needs, benchmarking with competitors' innovations, through to systematic and inventive idea generation and selection of best innovation concepts.

The methods and tools can be used with different generative AI systems and large language models, including OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude and others. The Toolbox is largely provider-independent and supports structured use of generative AI in innovation. Many methods and workflows can also be applied without generative AI, enabling both systematic human problem solving and hybrid human-AI innovation processes.
