Visualizing Complex Relationships in Problem Solving PPT

The interrelationship diagram serves as a tool for visualizing complex relationships among various ideas, particularly when assessing causes and effects or objectives and methods. This PPT slide, part of the 139-slide Business Process Improvement (BPI 7) PowerPoint presentation, outlines a systematic approach to creating this diagram, starting with the placement of ideas in a circular format. This layout facilitates a clear view of how each idea may influence others.

The first step emphasizes the importance of positioning all ideas in a circle on a flip chart. This visual representation is crucial for understanding interdependencies. The second step involves questioning whether each idea causes or influences another, which leads to drawing directional arrows to indicate these relationships. This method not only clarifies connections, but also helps identify which ideas are pivotal in the overall framework.

In the third step, the analysis of the diagram is conducted by counting the arrows associated with each idea. This quantitative assessment reveals the flow of influence, with incoming and outgoing arrows providing insight into the idea's role within the network. The final step focuses on identifying ideas with primarily outgoing arrows, which are deemed basic causes that require attention to address the overarching problem statement effectively.

The diagram itself illustrates several key ideas, such as the "Lack of motivation to change" and "Fear of technical tools and methods," among others. Each idea is assigned a numerical value that likely indicates its significance or impact within the context. This structured approach not only aids in problem-solving, but also fosters a deeper understanding of the underlying issues that may hinder progress.

This slide is part of the Business Process Improvement (BPI 7) PowerPoint presentation.

Developed by a Senior Executive and Operational Excellence Coach with experience at organizations including NOKIA, MICROVENTION, and MAGELLAN, this is a presentation on the BPI 7 methodology for business process management/improvement.
