PG003
Pre-classify regulatory constraints as fixed or flexible so innovation teams can move fast within approved boundaries without triggering full compliance review each time.

Regulations
Higher Regulatory Compliance vs. Faster Process Innovation
Business Context. Ensuring a process fully complies with applicable regulation typically requires formal review before changes are implemented, but this review can slow the pace of process innovation that competitive pressure demands.
Process TRIZ Resolution. Rather than routing every innovation through the same compliance review, organizations should pre-classify regulatory requirements into fixed constraints and negotiable practices, allowing rapid innovation within the fixed constraints without full review each time.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 3 (Local Quality) distinguishes fixed regulatory constraints from negotiable practices requiring review.
Principle 10 (Prior Action) pre-classifies compliance boundaries before innovation begins, reducing review scope.
Principle 1 (Segmentation) separates innovation that stays within fixed constraints from innovation that requires full review.
Expected Outcome
Sustained regulatory compliance
Faster innovation cycles
Reduced review bottlenecks
Clear boundaries for experimentation
Decision Indicators
Every process innovation triggers a full compliance review regardless of scope.
Innovation initiatives stall waiting for compliance sign-off.
No pre-classification exists distinguishing fixed rules from flexible practice.
Compliance review has become the longest phase of innovation projects.
Teams avoid proposing innovations to avoid the review burden.
If several of these indicators are present, the contradiction is likely active and the Process TRIZ resolution above should be evaluated.
