V. Velikov, Bulgaria

Information technology engineer. For the last 20 years, he has been solving a universal problem.: how to achieve a radical and sustainable increase in production productivity. "Many enterprises are implementing lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and constraint theory. And they work — up to a certain point. But they often work in isolation. You can optimize the process using Lean, but you will encounter the physical limitations of the machine. You can fix this problem with an expensive upgrade, but you will find that the restriction has just moved to another part of the system. We need a way to overcome these contradictions and see the whole system clearly. My answer is not to choose a single methodology, but to combine them. I use TRIZ as a powerful tool to create inventions. But I rely on neuroscience for adoption, direct it with the help of TOC for concentration, and implement it in accordance with the principles of lean manufacturing and systems thinking. This is a holistic framework for breakthrough thinking. This is not just a theory. By applying this comprehensive approach, I constantly help manufacturing companies achieve significant, measurable results. We are talking about a 20-35% increase in productivity. These results are achieved not through hard work, but through the fact that we work smarter and think differently. Bulgaria gives us a unique advantage. We have a deeply rooted engineering culture that values systemic, reliable solutions such as TRIZ. We combine technical rigor with flexible and pragmatic thinking, focused on achieving real results, not just theory. Many successful projects have been implemented in companies such as FESTO, OMV gas stations, AURUBIS, Dundee Precious Metals, Siemens, DELTA Galil."

Tatyana Kalaydzhi

Experimental web designer at OSNOVA workshops. Over five years of experience. I am an architect by education, and this directly influences my view of digital design. For me, it is never limited to a beautiful picture or graphic execution — it is, first and foremost, the space in which we live and communicate. It should be simple, understandable, and beautiful at the same time. This is a complex, multidimensional environment. At OSNOVA, we view the digital environment as our second reality, which means we must approach it systematically: through structure, processes, exploration of contradictions, and search for solutions. We have been studying the web in recent decades, paying attention to the technologies that are developing it today, be it artificial intelligence or augmented reality. For me, design is not only a form, but also research, working with new meanings and approaches. This view allows us to combine aesthetics and functionality, opening up new prospects for the digital environment of the future.
