TRIZ has originated from engineering, and several TRIZ developers started to expand application of TRIZ to non-technical fields in recent years. TRIZ reveals that problem solving patterns are universal across different domains. What really matters is a new way of breakthrough thinking proposed by TRIZ. In recent years, the research and application of TRIZ in non-technical fields have made great progress,which would be introduced, and how TRIZ can be applied in non-technical fields will be illustrated by case study. All these shows that TRIZ can be used to solve the problems in non-technical fields,and we should pay attention to the conversion of the situations.
