| Resumo: | Nowadays, companies operate in markets exposed to the effects of globalization, the opportunities for conducting business are becoming shorter in terms of time as well as the business environment is increasingly volatile. Thus, companies have to start learning to work together in certain areas or skills, to follow different paths other through the stimulation of inter-firm relationships giving rise to organizational models based on networks of collaboration between companies. However, a major challenge with the knowledge that this area faces is related to the need to develop a general theory of collaborative networks. Thus, the establishment of collaborative processes in response to a business opportunity should not follow an ad-hoc process, but instead must be supported by appropriate methodologies to support the process of analysis of technological and organizational systems, identify contradictions and problematic situations and process indicate the likely solution to the found problems. In this context, the Theory of Invention Problem Solving, better known by its acronym TRIZ, aims to aid in the detection of contradictions regarding systems and the generation of creative solutions which eliminate the contradictions found and get major improvements in technological and organizational systems. Innovation is crucial to increasing the efficiency of organizations, to improve competitiveness and profitability, since life cycle of products is becoming shorter. The collaborative chains need to develop innovative solutions progressively with the aim of improving processes. The TRIZ methodology can indicate some guidelines for managers of companies and their network since it The 2016 International Conference on Systematic Innovation July 20-22, 2016, Lisbon, Portugal allows to generate solutions to radical or based on the application of the latest scientific discoveries and experienced little change. The aim of this paper is to contribute to greater agility and sustainability of the processes of formation of collaborative chains to meet business opportunities, introducing the TRIZ methodology supporting the creation and development of collaborative chains.
