1 Embrace uncertainty

One of the biggest obstacles to agile problem solving is fear of uncertainty. You might feel anxious about not knowing the outcome, the best solution, or the right steps to take. However, uncertainty is inevitable and often beneficial. It forces you to think creatively, learn from feedback, and experiment with different options. Instead of avoiding or resisting uncertainty, embrace it as an opportunity to grow and innovate.

One of the biggest causes of inaction is the fear of the unknown. Isn't is worst to do nothing than to venture into the unknown and either fail or success? Both are growth, both encourage innovation and creative problem solving, both can be positive...embrace the unknown!

2 Use frameworks

Frameworks are tools that help you structure and organize your problem solving process. They can help you define the problem, identify the root causes, generate and evaluate solutions, and implement and monitor the results. Frameworks can also help you communicate your logic and reasoning to others, and collaborate effectively. Some examples of frameworks are the 5 Whys, the SCAMPER technique, and the IDEAL model. You can use frameworks as guides, not rules, and adapt them to suit your situation.

All professions have "tools" that they use to accomplish tasks. A framework is a tool that you use to help solve problems and consists of the basic goal of: defining the problem, coming up with ideas, evaluating and selecting solutions, and implementing and monitoring the results. Use whatever format you like the best, but use the tools you have to your advantage.

3 Seek diverse perspectives

Another way to stay agile when problem solving is to seek diverse perspectives from different sources. You can learn from experts, peers, customers, or anyone who has relevant knowledge or experience. You can also expose yourself to different fields, cultures, and disciplines that might inspire you or challenge your assumptions. Seeking diverse perspectives can help you broaden your horizons, discover new ideas, and avoid biases and blind spots.

Exploring diverse tools, methods, and frameworks offers a unique perspective, helping uncover trends and insights that might remain hidden. Seeking input from individuals outside your field can introduce fresh perspectives and novel insights. Their unique experiences and approaches might provide unconventional solutions or shed light on overlooked aspects of the problem. Tinkering with different problem-solving tools and incorporating interdisciplinary viewpoints creates an environment conducive to innovation. Sometimes, the best problem-solving emerges from the amalgamation of diverse techniques and the willingness to explore uncharted territories.

4 Iterate and improve

Agile problem solving is not a linear or one-time process. It is a cycle of testing, learning, and improving. You don't have to wait for the perfect solution or the final answer. You can start with a prototype, a hypothesis, or a minimum viable product, and then gather feedback, measure results, and make adjustments. You can also use tools like the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, the Build-Measure-Learn loop, or the OODA loop to guide your iteration and improvement.

5 Reflect and learn

Finally, to stay agile when problem solving, you need to reflect and learn from your experiences. You need to ask yourself what worked, what didn't, and why. You need to identify the lessons learned, the best practices, and the areas for improvement. You need to apply your insights to future problems, and share them with others. Reflection and learning can help you enhance your skills, increase your confidence, and foster a growth mindset.

I read somewhere that there are 4 key questions you should be asking yourself and your team every single week - start the week with: 1. What was your biggest win last week? 2. What's your top priority for this week? 3. What's your biggest challenge? 4. What do you need from me to help you succeed? Never stop reflecting and learning so that you can continue to level up.

Something else I would like to add. In my perspective, as a thought leader, maintaining agility in problem-solving is paramount. This can be achieved by mastering the four key skills, commonly known as the 4Cs (collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity). In my view these skills play a significant role in cultivating an effective problem-solving mindset. During times of uncertainty and unprecedented events, it’s vital for a thought leader to possess these skills. They not only aid in navigating through challenging times but also ensure the agility of your problem-solving abilities.
