This PPT slide, part of the 23-slide Brainstorming for Consultants PowerPoint presentation, outlines the framework for structuring strategy consulting projects, emphasizing the importance of a systematic approach to problem-solving. It presents a six-step process that begins with defining the problem, which is crucial for setting the stage for effective analysis. The first step involves using the PRICE framework to clarify the problem statement. This structured definition is foundational for the subsequent steps.
The second step, "Structure the problem," highlights the need to break down the issue into manageable components. This is where the iterative nature of the process comes into play, as indicated by the circular flow of the diagram. The iteration allows for refining the understanding of the problem as new insights are gained.
Next, the slide emphasizes prioritizing branches and developing hypotheses. This step is about identifying key areas of focus and formulating potential explanations for the problem. Following this, conducting analysis is essential to validate or refute these hypotheses, ensuring that decisions are based on solid evidence.
The final steps involve building a work plan to guide the project and synthesizing recommendations based on the analysis. The slide also includes a section on logic and decision trees, which serve as tools for visualizing the problem structure and decision-making pathways.
Overall, the framework presented is designed to facilitate a thorough and methodical approach to tackling complex issues in consulting engagements. It underscores the iterative nature of problem-solving, which is vital for adapting strategies as new information emerges.
