Inside the project

Focus

How can problem solving move from an individual skill to a team capability?

The project focused on addressing a project / service-based need through structured problem-solving practices.

The account of this project was structured around the organization's own definition of its needs.

There is no right solution to a wrongly defined problem. This is where problem-solving work begins.

Scope

We worked with teams and departments at the organization's Kütahya branch on the problems they faced. We focused on innovative and rapid problem-solving techniques to address these issues and provided facilitation support.

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.

Problem solving is not just a training topic but a practice that should be part of the organization's working culture.

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. 02REFRAMEThe work was co-created with the organization’s teams throughout the project. Feedback informed the design at every stage.
  3. 03BRING IT INTO THE ORGANIZATIONThe resulting model was connected to the organization’s operations.
