On March 22, a second meeting was held as part of the 100th anniversary of Genrikh Saulovich Altshuller, the creator of TRIZ and a science fiction writer, which was celebrated in 2026.
Sergey Dmitriev, who spoke first, shared his account of an educational seminar held in Novosibirsk in 1984. At this seminar, Altshuller invited the participants to engage in a discussion titled "How to Evaluate a Human Life?". Such a "provocative" homework assignment made it possible to prepare the audience for the perception of the fundamentals of the Theory of the Development of the TRTL Creative Personality and the Vital Strategy of the ZHSTL Creative Personality. These fundamentals were outlined by Igor Vertkin and Altshuller himself at this workshop. In addition to this topic, the seminar participants were introduced to examples of FSA, solving scientific problems, ARIZ - 85B, the system of standards SIS 76, and recommendations for teaching TRIZ. The team of teachers (Altshuller, Vertkin, Zlotin, Zusman, Litvin, Gerasimov, Petrov, Salamatov, Kondrakov, and others) not only gave lectures, but also checked homework and shared new developments in TRIZ. The seminar became a "key" event in the history of TRIZ. Sergey Dmitriev also touched upon the issue of the features of the Krasnoyarsk TRIZ school and the levels of creativity at the meeting. The acquaintance of the audience at the meeting with the qualities of Creative Personalities was continued by Nina Vasilyevna Litvintseva. Her story was accompanied by many examples of biographies of TL. Dmitriev Vladimir ended the meeting by conducting a game-like acquaintance of the audience with ZhSTL.
The meeting was held in a lively form and caused the desire of casual listeners to continue the acquaintance. We are preparing the next meeting in April.
