Part A: Simple Science
Part C: Pulling it all Together
Toolbox 4: Holistic The trick to using this ‘all-in-one’ approach is, as Chapter 11 explains, is to use each method as a different lens. We can thus switch back and fore between lenses to get a broad and stereoscopic picture, which is at least an order of magnitude better than the monochromic results of using a single technique or viewpoint. The formula is thus: NOT: Analytic or Simple science or TRIZ or Creative BUT: Analytic and Simple science and TRIZ and Creative 12 The TAO Design Process Having looked at invention from the analytical, scientific, TRIZ and psychological creative viewpoints, this leaves us with the question of ‘Which approach should we use?’ The creative answer, of course, is ‘yes’. All methods are valid and may be used in many different ways. Still confused? Good: confusion without damaging frustration is a splendid place from which to invent. To help nudge the confusion in the right direction, this chapter offers an integrating mental model from which you

12 The TAO Design Process Having looked at invention from the analytical, scientific, TRIZ and psychological creative viewpoints, this leaves us with the question of ‘Which approach should we use?’ The creative answer, of course, is ‘yes’. All methods are valid and may be used in many different ways. Still confused? Good: confusion without damaging frustration is a splendid place from which to invent. To help nudge the confusion in the right direction, this chapter offers an integrating mental model from which you can hang the different principles and methods from the previous chapters, thus providing an overall approach to creating new and wonderful inventions. The problem with defining a process for creative invention is that there is no one right way. You cannot say ‘start at step one and then do step two’ and so on with any guarantee that you will be successful. The TAO Design Process is thus deliberately vague in parts, because to say ‘at this point, do this’ would miss all of
