Hello fellow TRIZ readers. This has been an interesting month as we continue working our ambitious to-do list with the TRIZ expert database, webinars and other digital content, and all-encompassing TRIZ events list. We are also working on something big, but our lips are sealed for now! While we have a lot more work to do, things are going well, and we hope to have some great news soon on launch dates for many of these new features for the journal.

This month, we have three great articles and a unique book review. With the mindset of problem solving, we are going to expand our knowledgebase to include new and unique problem-solving articles that may not be necessarily focused on TRIZ. Dr. Ed Sickafus’s article “Problem Solving Without Logic” is a great example. This article is part 2 of a submission to ETRIA this past year. On another front we have received a fantastic review of Andrei Seryi’s new book Unifying Physics of Accelerators, Lasers and Plasm. We are excited to be working with Andrei and hope in the future to be highlighting more TRIZ books and new problem solving methods in the hopes we can continue pushing the value of TRIZ and systematic problem solving.

Happy reading and thank you for being a continued supporter of the journal! Without our loyal readers and articles we receive, the journal would have no reason to exist.

At any time you would like to submit an article or have thoughts on how to improve the journal, website, or the monthly issues, please reach out to me at Derek.Bennington@BMGI.com. I look forward to connecting with each of you personally via email or LinkedIn.
