Solving Big Problems with TRIZ: Ivan Gekht’s Roadmap from Theory to Code

In the An Hour of Innovation podcast episode featuring Ivan Gekht, CEO of Gehtsoft, the focus is on TRIZ — a systematic method born in the USSR for tackling complex problems and driving real innovation.

Key insights from Ivan’s journey:

• TRIZ turns contradictions into solutions — spotting and leveraging opposing forces fuels breakthrough thinking.

• Innovation isn’t trial‑and‑error — it's a structured, scientific process, and TRIZ provides the toolkit.

• Overcoming expert bias — TRIZ helps teams break free from rigid mindsets and adapt to new challenges.

• Begin small, scale fast — “small improvements pave the way to transformation,” Ivan notes.

At Gehtsoft, TRIZ isn't a curiosity—it’s your first tool, used daily in architecture decisions, systems thinking, and tackling mission-critical complexities.

“TRIZ is an ace up your sleeve … It will forever change the way you think about innovation.”  — Ivan Gekht
