TRIZ presents a systematic approach for understanding and defining challeng ing problems: difficult problems require an inventive solution, and TRIZ pr ovides a range of strategies and tools for finding these inventive solution s. One of the earliest findings of the massive research on which the theory is based is that the vast majority of problems that require inventive solu tions typically reflect a need to overcome a dilemma or a trade-off between two contradictory elements. The central purpose of TRIZ-based analysis is to systematically apply the strategies and tools to find superior solutions that overcome the need for a compromise or trade-off between the two eleme nts.
