Example 1: Fast Decisions vs Organisational Stability

1. Scenario

A growing company faces increased market volatility.

Management pushes for faster decision-making to react quickly, but execution quality begins to degrade. Teams receive conflicting directions, rework increases, and accountability becomes unclear.

2. Contradiction Analysis

Increasing decision speed reduces organisational stability.

This contradiction is expressed purely using the fundamental parameters.

3. TRIZ Solution

Applicable TRIZ principles at the system-variable level:

• Segmentation
• Local quality
• Dynamic control

4. Interpretation of the Solution

Segmentation

Decision authority is segmented by domain. Fast decisions are allowed locally while strategic decisions remain centralized.
