1 Define the problem clearly

Before you dive into the details, make sure that your team has a common understanding of the problem you are trying to solve, the scope of the project, and the objectives of the analysis. Use a problem statement or a problem tree to articulate the main issue, the causes, the effects, and the criteria for success. Communicate the problem definition to your team in a simple and concise way, and invite feedback and questions to ensure clarity and alignment.

Definition of the problem should be strictliy based on all availabel data, if people involved are relevant sources, they all should be included in relevant and cooperative way.

2 Use a structured approach

Problem analysis can be overwhelming if you don't have a clear and logical framework to guide your thinking and actions. Use a structured approach, such as MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive), to break down the problem into smaller and manageable parts, and to identify the key questions, hypotheses, and data sources for each part. Communicate your approach to your team, and explain how each part relates to the overall problem and the project plan. Assign roles and responsibilities to your team members, and establish timelines and milestones for each part.

Having facilitating structure if that is during the meeting is crucial. Sometimes having external facilitator for the discussion is essential. But without having any input data which are in structured way, everything can be take more time, be more exhaustive and less effective.

3 Encourage active participation

Problem analysis is not a solo activity, but a collaborative one that requires input and feedback from different perspectives and expertise. Encourage active participation from your team members, and create a safe and respectful environment for them to share their ideas, opinions, and concerns. Use effective questioning techniques, such as open-ended, probing, and clarifying questions, to elicit and explore their thoughts and insights. Use active listening skills, such as paraphrasing, summarizing, and acknowledging, to show that you understand and value their contributions.

4 Leverage visual tools

Visual tools can help you communicate complex and abstract concepts in a simple and engaging way, and facilitate comprehension and collaboration among your team members. Use visual tools, such as diagrams, charts, graphs, tables, and maps, to illustrate the problem, the approach, the data, and the findings. Use consistent and clear labels, legends, colors, and formats for your visual tools, and explain their meaning and relevance to your team. Use interactive tools, such as whiteboards, flipcharts, or online platforms, to allow your team to create and edit visual tools together.

Any visualisation of data and information could be very helpful and meaningful. Than we can discuss views how everyone reads it in their way and those intepretation can most of time include some part of solution already.

Mind mapping when used visually on the big board or shared on white boards in app are very useful. Not only for problem analysis but also for tracking the path to the core problem. If you want the problem not appearing again, you have to clean the path and all the subproblems and symptoms as well.

5 Provide regular updates

Problem analysis is an iterative and dynamic process that may require changes and adjustments along the way. Provide regular updates to your team on the progress, challenges, and outcomes of the analysis, and solicit their feedback and suggestions for improvement. Use different modes of communication, such as emails, calls, meetings, or reports, depending on the purpose, urgency, and audience of your updates. Use clear and concise language, and highlight the key points and action items for your team.

The main point is culture we have in the company or even in the team. If there is a high level of trust and everybody respects and treats the fact that we do not want to hurt anyone just share our opinions with respect to our colleagues it is very clear. First think is ability to collect data from everyone, by the tool, system or during the meeting. To setup rules of communication, just to remind them that every opinion is important and we are not judges but collective problem solvers, once we have views we are trying to find consensus /not compomise/, by sharing approaches and desires.
