1 Use a structured framework

Communicating problem solutions effectively requires a structured framework that guides your audience through your thought process and shows how you arrived at your solution. The Situation-Problem-Implication-Solution (SPIS) model is a common framework that consists of four steps. Firstly, you should provide the background and context of the problem, including any relevant facts, assumptions, or constraints. Secondly, you must define the main problem or question and explain why it is important or urgent. Thirdly, analyze the potential consequences or impacts of the problem and how it affects the goals or objectives of the situation. Finally, present your proposed solution and justify how it solves the problem, addresses the implications, and meets the criteria or requirements of the situation. Structured frameworks can help you organize your ideas, avoid confusion, and demonstrate your analytical skills.

One of my favourite structured frameworks is the Simon Sinek golden circle (What, How, Why). What is tanglible and visible, How is the process which is less visible but relatively easy to imagine. Why, is less obvious or known as it’s our inner purpose linked to emotion. It’s powerful and useful as it typically demonstrates how humans communicate and make decisions and how we think and feel about a particular problem. Problems are solved when connected to emotion. We feel hungry we eat. If we just saw food (unless we have an eating disorder) we don’t just eat food simply cause we see it. It triggers an emotion. Yet when we communicate solutions to a problem we typically just communicate from tangible forget the why or purpose.

Show savings, gains, and transformations. In analytics we spend a lot of time on the troubleshooting part. But when communicating solutions, sometimes it's helpful to start from the future.

2 Use visual aids

Communicating problem solutions can be greatly enhanced by using visual aids that complement your verbal or written explanation. Visual aids such as charts, graphs, diagrams, tables, or images can help capture the attention and interest of your audience, simplify complex or abstract information, highlight key points or patterns, compare or contrast different options or scenarios, and support your claims or arguments with evidence. By incorporating visual aids into your communication, you can make it more engaging, clear, and persuasive.

If we have communication problems we can use visual things to demonstrate the things that are happening around us. Including these we an make the communication better and better.

3 Use plain language

An effective way to communicate problem solutions is to utilize plain language which is simple, concise, and precise. Doing so respects the knowledge and needs of your audience, reduces the risk of errors or misinterpretation, builds trust and credibility, and encourages feedback or dialogue. Plain language can help you communicate more effectively by making it more respectful, clear, and efficient.

4 Use feedback loops

A fourth effective way to communicate problem solutions is to use feedback loops that allow you to check and improve your communication with your audience. These processes or mechanisms enable you to seek input or opinions from your audience before, during, or after your communication, as well as listen to and observe the reactions or responses of your audience. Moreover, you can evaluate the effectiveness or impact of your communication on your audience and make adjustments or modifications based on the feedback. By using feedback loops, you can optimize your communication to make it more interactive, responsive, and adaptive.

5 Use storytelling techniques

An effective way to communicate problem solutions is to use storytelling techniques that make your communication more compelling and memorable for your audience. These methods or strategies can help you connect your communication to the emotions or values of your audience, create a narrative or plot that hooks and guides them, and use metaphors, analogies, or examples that relate to them. Additionally, you can use humor, suspense, or surprise to captivate your audience and a call to action or a takeaway message that inspires them. Ultimately, using storytelling techniques can amplify your communication by making it more appealing, relatable, and impactful.

Know your audience while you are building up your thoughts or insights to communicate and if it is not possible to know your audience in advance, try to do it while you are communicating. Often times an audience with no background in your discourse will ask questions that will ruin your flow, delve you into stuff that will be unnecessary or irrelevant at the cost of actual material and at times ask such queries that might make you look having little knowledge of the subject matter. Similarly, beware of the irrelevant, disinterested or hostile audience who will intentionally or unintentionally impact your presentation adversely.
