This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Issue Based Problem Solving PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for addressing challenges through creative problem-solving techniques. It emphasizes the importance of identifying and decomposing obstacles to facilitate effective solutions. The left section outlines the "Obstacle Tree" method, which encourages users to list major obstacles related to a specific challenge. This method involves ordering these obstacles by their difficulty, allowing teams to prioritize their efforts. The visual representation of the tree structure suggests a systematic approach where the easiest obstacles are placed at the bottom, leading to a more manageable path toward resolution.
The right section introduces the concept of "Direct Analogy," using relatable examples to illustrate how analogies can aid in understanding and overcoming challenges. The examples provided, such as comparing different types of packaging for snacks, highlight how drawing parallels from familiar contexts can generate insights. This section encourages teams to think creatively by exploring natural analogies and considering variations in processes, such as drying versus pressing.
Overall, the slide serves as a practical guide for teams seeking to navigate complex challenges. It promotes a structured approach to problem decomposition while also encouraging innovative thinking through analogies. By leveraging these techniques, organizations can enhance their problem-solving capabilities and drive more effective outcomes.
This slide is part of the Issue Based Problem Solving PowerPoint presentation.
