Problem Framing
Solutions have the best chance of success if they answer the right problem. Before you start generating good ideas (which can be difficult), and then building and implementing them (which can be expensive), it’s crucial you understand the problem first.
What’s the workshop about?
Business 101 - your service or product exists to solve a problem that people have, and they pay you (or your competitors) for the solution you provide.
Seems obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many people come up with their solution first and then go to try and find the problem afterwards. All too often, these solutions don’t work the way they intended, or they don’t generate the income or impact they thought, and they ultimately fail (sometimes at great cost). This is usually because the understanding of the problem is too narrow, is too vague, or is based on lots of assumptions.

How is it done?
This session will be completely online, and is fully-accessible for anyone with a laptop or PC and internet access.

We won’t just give you random examples either; we’ll give you the chance to work through the challenges you’re facing.
Not only will you be learning techniques you can do time and again, you’ll be making actual progress on the problems you need to tackle. And we’ll be there to help you do it.
Who is it for?
The techniques we cover in this three hour workshop are totally flexible and can be used by lots of people in different ways. We know this workshop has been particularly useful for:
What’s needed?
So come along and frame your business challenges in a way that puts your customers at the heart of it, sees the things from their view, which will give you the best chance to solve and succeed.
