Institution Overview:
International Society of Innovation Methods (I-SIM) is the world first and, so far only, international society dedicated solely for research, development, training, and promotion of innovation methods. I-SIM is a not-for-profit society.
Goals of the I-SIM:
Innovation methods are important. However, TRIZ is only one major part of the Innovation Methods. There are ample opportunities to integrate TRIZ and non-TRIZ innovation methods for much wider and better research and application opportunities. The goals of I-SIM thus include but not limited to:
- Providing a platform for Research, Development, and Promotion of innovation methods, tools, systems, and applications.
- Integrating various innovation methods such as TRIZ, deBono methods, biomimicry, etc., for synergetic usage.
- Providing complete and in-depth training/consultation/database/tools/knowledge in the field related to Innovation Methods.
- Organizing related experts and organizations for win-win collaborations.
