1 Define the problem

The first step in solving any problem is to define it clearly and accurately. This means identifying the root causes, the desired outcomes, the criteria for success, and the scope and boundaries of the problem. A well-defined problem helps you avoid wasting time and resources on irrelevant or superficial issues, and also helps you communicate the problem to others. To define the problem, you can use various methods, such as asking the 5 whys, using a fishbone diagram, or conducting a stakeholder analysis.

To solve a problem, start by clearly defining it, pinpointing root causes, outcomes, success criteria, and scope. For instance, in a manufacturing setting, using the 5 Whys technique can reveal the underlying issues causing defects, guiding the problem-solving process toward effective solutions.

Among the tools usually used are the questioning tool (what, who, when, how how much, etc.) and brainstorming. Regarding a complex problem, I recommend, referring to my experience, to clearly delimit the complex problem by using the "what is what is not" model (specify any possible ambiguities which could arise in particular during the brainstorming discussions).

2 Frame the problem

The next step is to frame the problem in a way that stimulates creative and innovative thinking. Framing the problem involves choosing a perspective, a focus, and a language that can help you generate multiple solutions and evaluate them critically. A good frame should be relevant, realistic, and challenging, but not too narrow or too broad. To frame the problem, you can use techniques such as reframing, analogy, metaphor, or storytelling.

When we begin the process to deal with the problem, we could sometimes find ourselves in a situation where there is an urgency to resolve its effects (example: in the case of immediate impacts on the customer such as the delivery of a non-compliant product to the needs expressed by the customer). In this case, I recommend using the 8D method which is a human, participatory and well-structured method. The final step in this method is to congratulate the team members for successfully completing the complex problem.

3 Engage diverse perspectives

One of the key characteristics of complex problems is that they have multiple perspectives and interpretations, depending on the values, interests, and assumptions of different stakeholders. Therefore, to solve complex problems, you need to engage diverse perspectives and seek input from people who have different backgrounds, experiences, and expertise. This can help you gain new insights, challenge your own assumptions, and identify potential trade-offs and synergies. To engage diverse perspectives, you can use methods such as brainstorming, focus groups, interviews, or surveys.

4 Experiment and learn

Another feature of complex problems is that they are dynamic and unpredictable, meaning that they change over time and respond to interventions in unexpected ways. Therefore, to solve complex problems, you need to experiment and learn from trial and error, rather than relying on fixed plans or predetermined solutions. This means testing your assumptions, hypotheses, and solutions in small-scale and low-risk settings, collecting feedback and data, and adjusting your actions accordingly. To experiment and learn, you can use tools such as prototyping, pilot testing, or simulations.

5 Collaborate and co-create

The final step in solving complex problems is to collaborate and co-create with others who are affected by or involved in the problem. This means sharing your vision, goals, and solutions with them, and inviting them to contribute their ideas, opinions, and resources. This can help you build trust, commitment, and ownership among the stakeholders, and also leverage their collective intelligence, creativity, and skills. To collaborate and co-create, you can use approaches such as participatory design, co-production, or crowdsourcing.

I recommend celebrating, from the first stages, even small successes with little impact on performance with a view to developing among team members a climate of excellence, trust, synergy and the search for improvement. of performance. Such a climate helps in co-creation and in seeking and implementing innovative solutions to resolve the complex problem.
