After graduation, workshop participants have acquired new skills and ideas that assist them in performing their jobs intelligently. The Executive Director of the QRCE, Mr. Basel Kilany emphasized to the graduates that at their institutions they are the pioneers of the techniques of TRIZ-based Systematic Innovation and urged them to role model what they learned from the workshop.
