This PPT slide, part of the 654-slide Business Unit Strategy Training Program PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured methodology for conducting issue analysis, crucial for understanding client challenges and formulating effective strategies. It begins with the "Input" section, which lists various sources of information, such as client requests for proposals, annual reports, expert interviews, and industry reports. These inputs are essential for establishing a comprehensive understanding of the client's situation.
The methodology is divided into 4 key iterations: Situational Analysis, Brainstorm and Issue Breakdown, Hypotheses Generation, and Formulate Project Plan. Each step plays a critical role in the overall process. The Situational Analysis focuses on studying the client and their industry to establish a foundational understanding. It emphasizes the importance of reaching consensus with the client about the current situation.
Next, the Brainstorm and Issue Breakdown phase aims to identify all possible questions and issues, preventing the analysis from becoming too narrow. This step is about collaboration, ensuring that all relevant issues are considered and that there is agreement among the team and the client.
The Hypotheses Generation step involves creating testable explanations for each identified issue. This is where informed guesses come into play, guiding the analysis toward potential solutions.
Finally, the Formulate Project Plan phase is about structuring the project. It includes determining the necessary analyses, delegating responsibilities, and establishing timelines. The output of this methodology includes consensus with the client, a unified point of departure for the team, and a clear structure for project analysis.
Overall, this slide serves as a roadmap for executives looking to implement a systematic approach to issue analysis, ensuring thoroughness and collaboration throughout the process.
