Introduction
Solve the right problems with creative, repeatable methods. This five-day workshop combines structured problem-framing, analytical rigor and divergent ideation to help professionals produce practical, innovative solutions and move them into action. Participants will practice frameworks, tools and rapid prototyping techniques that accelerate decision-making and increase implementation success.
Objectives
1. Break down complex problems into clear, testable subproblems using a structured framework.
2. Apply at least three divergent-thinking techniques to generate a broader set of solution options.
3. Evaluate and compare solutions with defined criteria and simple quantitative and qualitative checks.
4. Build low-fidelity prototypes or experiments and iterate based on stakeholder or user feedback.
5. Facilitate a focused problem-solving session and present a recommended solution with a practical implementation plan.
