HIGHLIGHTS
DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION
When the crew on Apollo 13 uttered those now immortal words, 'Houston, we've had a problem', they didn't know they would become etched into the vernacular.
We use the phrase to describe one of the seven great business storylines (designed based on the Minto Pyramid Principle), with a slight twist – we are talking about problems we 'have' now and what we are going to do about them.
Houston, We Have a Problem tells the audience about a business problem, it's cause, and what steps are required to implement a recommended set of actions.
It's a classic and this template offers an annotated example that you can cut and paste your own content into.
This was prepared by Davina Stanley and Gerard Castles who have been helping business people use structured communication techniques for decades. They began this work when they joined McKinsey as communication specialists and have continued since, helping thousands of people across many countries.

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.
I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me. Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current. Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world." – Roberto Pelliccia, Senior Executive in International Hospitality

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."
– Michael Duff, Managing Director at Change Strategy (UK)
