Collaborative Solution Finding
Some problems have no obvious answer. We can help you find them.
A wicked problem is hard to define, everyone seems to disagree about the answer, and the usual fixes keep failing. You know the ones – where what you see are just the symptoms and it takes time, effort, and communication to reveal what the real issues are.
We do not claim to have the solutions to your problems but we can help you find them, mitigate them and implement the solutions.
The approach
- First, we clarify the real problem, surfacing the constraints and mapping the views of everyone affected.
- Second, we generate possibilities using structured creative methods grounded in systems thinking (looking at how the parts of a situation affect each other).
- Third, we develop the most promising options and test them against real operational constraints.
What you leave with
- A solution framework your team has built and tested together.
- Agreement among the people affected.
- A plan for putting it into practice.
- A written record of the thinking behind it.
- Who it is for
- Senior leadership, Whole organisation
- Format
- Bespoke problem solving engaging various teams and stakeholders
