Practical Problem Solving

Hands-on workshop to solve problems faster using clear frameworks, root-cause analysis, and practical tools you can apply right away.
About this Event

This interactive workshop helps participants break down messy, real-world problems into clear problem statements, identify root causes, generate options, and choose next steps with confidence. You’ll practice simple, repeatable frameworks you can use at work or school—individually or with a team. 

Learning objectives 

• Define a problem clearly (scope, stakeholders, constraints, success criteria). 

• Separate symptoms from root causes using techniques like 5 Whys and fishbone thinking. 

• Map the current state and identify key data to validate assumptions. 

• Generate and compare solution options using impact/effort and risk trade-offs. 

• Create an action plan with owners, timelines, and measurable next steps. 

• Communicate your reasoning and decisions in a concise, structured format.
