Question 1

What is ASIT?

Accepted Answer

ASIT (Advanced Systematic Inventive Thinking) is a structured creativity method derived from TRIZ. It enables you to systematically generate innovative solutions in 3 hours with 5 universal tools. 10x faster than TRIZ (2 days training vs 15-20 days), ASIT delivers equivalent innovation results (10/10).

Question 2

How can I learn ASIT?

Accepted Answer

There are 3 ASIT training courses: ASIT Solving (2 days, become autonomous on your subjects), ASIT Conception (2 days, concept generation), ASIT Facilitation (4 days including certification, facilitate workshops in all fields). Contact SolidCreativity for a personalised quote.

Question 3

Why choose ASIT over brainstorming?

Accepted Answer

Brainstorming generates predictable ideas that everyone already has. ASIT generates dozens of innovative concepts in 3 hours through a systematic method. Measured results: 12 patents in 1 year, +35% turnover in 3 months for an SME, validated technical solutions at Airbus/Michelin/ArcelorMittal.

Question 4

Which sectors use ASIT?

Accepted Answer

ASIT is used in all sectors: aeronautics (Airbus), automotive (Renault, Valeo, Michelin), defence (Thales, Photonis), metallurgy (ArcelorMittal), building (Legrand), banking (Caisse d'Épargne), biotech (TreeFrog Therapeutics), etc. The method applies to both hardware and software products as well as processes, services and organisations.

Question 5

How much time does an ASIT workshop require?

Accepted Answer

An ASIT workshop lasts 3 hours and generates dozens of innovative concepts. This time includes: presentation of the challenge (15min), application of the 5 ASIT tools (2h), selection and development of solutions (45min). A single trained facilitator can conduct the workshop.

Question 6

Why invest in ASIT training when brainstorming is free?

Accepted Answer

Brainstorming is indeed free... but what is its real cost? Hours of meetings to generate predictable ideas that everyone already has, without genuine breakthrough innovation. ASIT trains you in 2 days in a systematic method that generates dozens of innovative ideas in 3 hours. Once trained, your teams can facilitate their own ASIT workshops internally - it then becomes both free AND effective.

Question 7

In which fields can I apply ASIT?

Accepted Answer

With an ASIT creativity session you will find a range of innovative solutions to: innovatively solve an old or blocking problem (product, service, process or organisation), find alternative solutions, work around a technology patent, anticipate possible future competitive solutions and protect against them, generate a differentiating response during a tender, find creative conceptual solutions and then turn them into market innovations.

Question 8

Which subjects cannot be addressed by the ASIT creativity method?

Accepted Answer

We have never found a subject impossible to address (technology, process, service, etc.) but some have greater innovation potential than others. ASIT is a very effective method for innovation challenges. If field experts are blocked or if the solutions implemented are increasingly complex without ever really being suitable, then ASIT will make the difference.

Question 9

Can I use ASIT professionally?

Accepted Answer

ASIT is used by many professionals for equally professional results. You can use the method as part of your business but the use of the ASIT and Advanced Systematic Inventive Thinking trademarks is subject to the agreement of its owner: SolidCreativity. Be careful not to use these trademarks (website or book for example) without this agreement.

Question 10

I followed the introduction thanks to the downloadable pack, what is my training level?

Accepted Answer

This is indeed an introduction dating from 2004, which allowed you to see creativity differently and glimpse the power of the method despite its simplicity. Careful re-reading of the book and trial-and-error progression can help you progress. Actual training can bring you more quickly and easily to an effective autonomous user level.

Question 11

Is ASIT still evolving?

Accepted Answer

Since the book and pack were released in 2004, ASIT has evolved enormously to gain in systematicity and efficiency. ASIT continues to evolve through successive refinements and the ASIT-BIM, ecoASIT and FASiT variants also show notable developments but for targeted uses.

Question 12

What is breakthrough innovation for ASIT?

Accepted Answer

We consider that breakthrough innovation is not necessarily a technological breakthrough but a usage breakthrough. The electric light bulb is not a technological breakthrough (slow evolution of electrical wire) but a real usage breakthrough: doing something else with electricity. A usage breakthrough comes from the intersection of several improvement trees.

Question 13

How much does ASIT training cost?

Accepted Answer

ASIT training lasts 2 days to become autonomous in your field, or 4 days (including certification) to facilitate workshops in all fields. Contact SolidCreativity for a personalised quote.

Question 14

What is the difference between ASIT and TRIZ?

Accepted Answer

ASIT is derived from TRIZ but 10x faster: 3h workshop vs several weeks, 2 days training vs 15-20 days. ASIT simplifies TRIZ into 5 universal tools whilst maintaining equivalent innovation capacity (10/10).
