How do we tackle group problem solving and decision making in a structured, effective and efficient way?
You’re probably great at individual problem solving. But effectively tackling problems as a team will require its own specific approach and toolkit.
I will help you and your team master the shared concepts and skills you need to be super efficient and effective at collaborative problem solving. The methodology we will use is based on McKinsey’s internationally proven 7-step problem solving framework.
McKinsey’s proven 7-step approach to team problem solving:
- Define the exact problem you’re solving
- Structure the problem by disaggregating it
- Prioritise which elements of the problem are most urgent or important
- Analyse the priority issues and plan the work – divide and conquer!
- Pull out the “so what” of each piece of analysis
- Distil the team’s thinking into a clear solution for the user/customer
- Communicate your thinking in a way that generates buy-in
