Inside the project

Focus

How can teams solve complex problems using a shared language and method?

The Argemip project focused on addressing training needs through structured problem-solving practices.

Problem-solving capacity comes not from individual intelligence but from establishing a shared method through repetition. This project established that method.

Need, problemi doğru tanımlamayı sistematik bir beceri haline getirmekti.

Scope

We worked with the organisation's teams and departments on the problems they faced as part of the R&D problem-solving training modules. We explored innovative, rapid problem-solving techniques and provided problem-solving and facilitation sessions.

Implementation

HOW WAS STRUCTURED PROBLEM SOLVING USED IN THIS PROJECT?

Rather than rushing to solve a problem at first glance, we followed a process emphasizing root cause analysis and contradiction-based definition. Participants worked on their own operational problems.

Strong teams are not those that answer fastest but those that can ask the right question.

The journey we designed

  1. 01EXPLOREA situation map was developed by considering the organization's real needs, current ways of working and external signals together.
  2. 02REFRAMEParticipants practiced creative problem solving and application through their own real work problems.
  3. 03BRING IT INTO THE ORGANIZATIONA follow-through plan was developed with teams to connect the methods learned to daily workflows.
