Defining a Problem Workshop

Solving a problem becomes difficult when the problem is poorly defined or when the complexity of the problem is not fully understood. The way a problem is stated and grasped has impact on the number, quality, and type of proposed solutions.

Too often, initiatives start without a clearly defined problem and inevitably end in failure, so before jumping to solution mode, you need to state the problem in measurable terms.

Join CONNSTEP for a no-cost, two hour workshop, and learn to effectively define a problem before embarking on identifying potential solutions.

This session will introduce you to a structured approach to creating a problem statement, establishing baseline metrics and communicating the problem.
