DESCRIPTION
Solving problems, complex problems at that, involves not only good problem formulation but also a structured approach to complement it. Structured Problem Solving is simply an iterative sequence of framing hypotheses and trying them via controlled experimentation revamped for the intricacies of the world beyond the laboratory.
The following 6-step approach for Structured Problem Solving has been developed by experienced consultants using Toyota's Modified A3 Form as its base:
1. Problem Statement
2. Current Design
3. Root Causes
4. Target Design
5. Goals & Leadership Guidelines
6. Execution Plan
This approach leads to directing and communicating the organized problem resolution effort in such a way that it is both uncomplicated and efficient. An effective Problem Solving process is a result of several small, incremental changes.
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
