[3A] Building the WTSP Catalogs of Around-TRIZ Sites (2nd Pillar)
Aims: To cover 'Creative Problem Solving Methodologies in general
where TRIZ users want to/should refer.
People in such relevant areas will also use the WTSP Catalogs
and will get interested in and familiar with TRIZ.
We also hope integral use of methods of different origins.
Keywords used in the 5 cases of Internet surveys (simplified here).

Creative Thinking Method ;Problem Solving Method ;Innovation ;Quality/Value/Cost/Productivity Management ；Patent/IP
Visiting about 1000 websites one by one, we wrote brief introductions.
Basic Catalog of Around-TRIZ Sites (◎○) in the World was publicized. (2019)
By visiting all the sites again,
we revised the World Basic Catalog (◎○) andnewly built the World Extended Catalog (□). (2022)

Based on the manuscripts from only 4 countries (Japan, Malaysia, China, Russianregion) and 2 cases of Internet surveys (USA, World).
Important sites from various countries are missing.

[4] Concluding Remarks
 WTSP Catalogs already contain a wealth of selected information:
Various Approaches in TRIZ, and even more Around‐TRIZ;
Diversity of Application methods and cases; Various Tools, etc.
 Various websites are working for developing methods/tools,information dissemination, training, consulting, eLearning, etc.
 Due to the lack of WTSP Team work in many countries, Catalogs ofTRIZ Sites are quite insufficient, in contrast to Catalogs of Around‐
TRIZ Sites which were built by intensive internet surveys.
 Appeal 1: Enjoy using the World Catalogs of TRIZ‐related Websites.
 Appeal 2: Form a Team & make your Country's TRIZ Sites Catalogs.
 Appeal 3: Write introductions to the website you are involved in.
 New Proposal: Let's create a representative TRIZ website whereexcellent papers/articles on various TRIZ approaches cometogether to be published regularly.
