Structured Methodology for Issue Analysis PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 654-slide Business Unit Strategy Training Program PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured methodology for conducting issue analysis, emphasizing a systematic approach to problem-solving. It begins with an "Input" section that lists various sources of information, including client requests, annual reports, and expert interviews. This foundational data is crucial for understanding the context and specifics of the client's situation.

The methodology is divided into 4 key steps, each representing a phase in the analysis process. The first step, "Situational analysis," focuses on studying the client and their industry. It involves reaching a consensus on the current situation and defining the primary complications and overarching questions that need to be addressed. This phase sets the stage for deeper exploration.

Next, the "Brainstorm and issue breakdown" phase encourages a collaborative effort to identify all potential questions and issues. This step aims to prevent the analysis from becoming too narrow and ensures all relevant aspects are considered. It also emphasizes reaching consensus among team members and the client on the issues at hand.

The third step, "Hypotheses generation," is about formulating testable explanations for each identified issue. This involves making informed guesses to guide further investigation, ensuring that the hypotheses align with the overarching question defined earlier.

Finally, the "Formulate project plan" phase focuses on operationalizing the insights gained. It includes determining necessary analyses, delegating responsibilities, and establishing timelines. The output of this methodology is a unified project plan that aligns the team and client on the objectives and structure for the analysis.

This slide provides a clear framework for understanding how to approach complex issues methodically, ensuring that all relevant factors are considered and that the project is well-organized from the outset.
