root cause problem solving
Problem solving is critical to every person, in every role, in every organization. This course is designed so participants will learn how to grasp the situation at hand and use their critical thinking tools to understand what is truly happening.
PROBLEM SOLVING & A3 THINKING
Learning to grasp the actual situation is paramount to identifying root causes of the problem and solving it. Throughout this course, we use a case example to illustrate the problem-solving approach as you are learning. You will deepen your understanding by applying this new way of thinking to a problem of your choice.
PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES AND THE A3 FRAMEWORK
Clearly define problems, beginning with understanding the current situation
Learn to break down vague problems to specific problems that can be solved to root cause
Build a foundational understanding of problem types and problem solving
THE BENEFITS
