Summary/Abstract: Human-centered design (HCD) is a set of user-oriented principles focused on a thorough understanding of consumer needs. TRIZ focuses on the innovativeness of technical devices. TRIZ and HCD represent quite different “philosophies” of the design, manufacture and assessment of goods. It seems, however, that viewing a product from the perspective of both TRIZ and HCD methodologies provides an opportunity for consumer-focused development of products, especially consumer goods. The paper presents the cases in which emphasis is placed on product usability (TRIZ methods are applicable) as well as those areas in which HCD methods play a more significant role.
