Inside the project

Focus

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

The Manpower project focused on addressing a training 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 the organization's teams on innovative and rapid problem-solving techniques. Alongside this work, we provided facilitation and mentoring 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
