It emphasizes that clearly defining the problem is essential for embarking on a successful problem-solving journey. A well-articulated Problem Statement serves as the foundation for effective problem resolution.
The slide stresses the importance of providing sufficient background information. This context is necessary to connect the Problem Statement to the broader mission and objectives of the organization.

This background not only clarifies the issue at hand, but also helps stakeholders grasp its significance within the larger framework of organizational goals.
Furthermore, the slide highlights the need for impartiality in crafting a Problem Statement. It suggests that a well-formed statement should avoid bias towards any particular diagnosis or solution.

It underscores the necessity of a clear and unbiased Problem Statement as the starting point for effective solutions.
