This PPT slide, part of the 22-slide Flexons Approach to Problem Solving PowerPoint presentation, outlines the concept of "Networks Flexon," emphasizing its utility in problem-solving for executives. It begins by defining a network as a collection of interconnected individuals or entities, which can range from groups of people to interacting product components. This definition sets the stage for understanding how networks can be leveraged to tackle various business challenges.
The Networks Flexon framework is presented as a tool that breaks down complex situations into a series of interconnected problems. It focuses on 2 main aspects: prediction, which addresses how relationships might evolve over time, and optimization, which seeks to enhance the relational benefits of specific agents within the network. This approach highlights the importance of understanding relationships among entities to effectively navigate business issues.
A case example illustrates the practical application of Networks Flexon in a pharmaceutical context. It describes a scenario where a company launching a new product creates a network map of physicians who can significantly influence drug usage. The action taken involves targeting clusters of physicians who share similar ideas and maintain close interactions. The result of this targeted approach is an improved return on investment compared to traditional mass marketing strategies.
This slide effectively communicates the value of utilizing the Networks Flexon framework for executives looking to refine their problem-solving methodologies. By focusing on relationships and targeted actions, organizations can achieve more efficient outcomes and better leverage their resources.
