This PPT slide, part of the 38-slide Analogical Strategic Reasoning PowerPoint presentation, presents a variant of a strategic reasoning approach that emphasizes the relationship between problems and solutions. It begins with a clear delineation of a "Source Problem" and a "Candidate Solution." This initial pairing is crucial as it sets the stage for further analysis. The process is structured into 4 key steps, guiding the user through a logical progression.

Step one involves recognizing the analogy between the source problem and the candidate solution, along with identifying the purpose of this analogy. This step is foundational, as understanding the underlying rationale is essential for effective application.

The second step focuses on comprehending the source problem in depth. This understanding is vital for ensuring that the subsequent analysis is grounded in a thorough grasp of the context and nuances of the problem at hand.

Step 3 introduces the concept of similarity mapping. Here, the goal is to assess how closely the source problem aligns with potential target problems. This assessment is critical for determining the applicability of the candidate solution to new contexts.

Finally, the fourth step involves translating, deciding, and adapting the insights gained from the previous steps. This phase is where practical application occurs, allowing for the customization of the candidate solution to fit the identified target problem.

Overall, this slide serves as a roadmap for executives looking to leverage analogical reasoning in strategic decision-making. It highlights the importance of a structured approach to problem-solving and the potential for innovative solutions through careful analysis of existing frameworks.
