This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Issue Based Problem Solving PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured approach to tackling challenges through creative problem-solving techniques. It emphasizes the importance of decomposition in identifying and overcoming obstacles. The primary focus is on 2 methodologies: the Obstacle Tree and Direct Analogy.
The Obstacle Tree is a visual tool designed to help teams systematically identify major obstacles to a given challenge. It encourages users to list these obstacles, rank them by difficulty, and organize them in a tree format. The easiest obstacles are placed at the bottom, while the hardest ones sit at the top. This hierarchical structure aids in prioritizing which challenges to address first. Additionally, the slide prompts users to consider actionable steps for each obstacle, reinforcing a proactive approach to problem-solving.
On the right side, the Direct Analogy method draws parallels between seemingly unrelated items to inspire innovative thinking. The examples provided—Lay's chips and Pringles—illustrate how different packaging strategies can lead to different consumer experiences. This analogy encourages teams to think outside the box by relating their challenges to familiar concepts, thereby uncovering new solutions.
The overarching message is clear: effective problem-solving requires both a structured breakdown of challenges and creative thinking. By employing these techniques, organizations can enhance their ability to navigate complex issues and foster a culture of innovation. This slide serves as a valuable resource for leaders looking to empower their teams in overcoming obstacles and driving progress.
