Testimonials
“I have taken two, week-long TRIZ courses from David and can vouch for his ability as an instructor in this subject area. His command of TRIZ concepts is quite strong and thorough; I particularly like his ability to connect that various parts of TRIZ to each other which allowed me to comprehend the entire discipline as a whole. His ability to clearly explain TRIZ concepts with relevant examples is outstanding. I always felt that I understood each concept he presented, and had a solid example I could refer back to as an aid to deepen my understanding. Dave is also quite enthusiastic about TRIZ, and this enthusiasm is contagious. He’s and engaging, lively and humorous speaker and I wouldn’t hesitate to attend anything he’s presenting or teaching.”

“It was clear that we were looking at a potentially powerful tool for systematic innovation when David, with little prior knowledge of our operations, quickly took us into a creative solution space that had eluded us with mere brainstorming.When we dove even more deeply into applying this methodology (Systematic Innovation for Business), we quickly enhanced our capacity to break our mental inertia, moving beyond only small, incremental improvements to a world of more innovative and systematically far-reaching solutions.”

“Upon learning of a firm’s innovative product or service offering, I often wonder how the firm arrived at such a creative idea. Thanks to David Conley’s expertise and the process utilized by Innomation, LLC, I now have greater insight into this question. Through David’s effective facilitation of TRIZ and Systematic Innovation for Business, breakthrough solutions to complex problems became readily apparent. For many businesspeople, developing innovative ideas is not a natural tendency.
