To help frame your problem, you can steal a page from a story book. When you master your dragon, you will be in a position to find an optimal solution to your problem. As leaders, problem solving is pretty much what we do all day, every day. But it’s also one of the skills that can be tricky. Complex problems, which are often ill-defined with multiple conflicting objectives can be daunting, which is why we developed a three-step framework to tackle such problems: frame, explore, decide—or FrED. Framing Framing the problem consists of clearly specifying what it is and what it isn’t. Essentially, you are answering the question, what’s my problem? Although this seems straightforward on the face of it, people often take it for granted, acting too fast. It is important to challenge yourself to check whether you are focusing on the actual pain rather than a symptom or a different problem altogether. When we challenge our assumptions of what the problem is with critical thinking, we have found that nearly all executives we work with, including ourselves, find that the frame changes from our initial thinking. To frame the problem effectively, you need to include everything that is important and exclude everything else, which is not always easy. Too much detail at this stage can be distracting, so remember, when it comes to framing, break down your issues to make them as simple as possible. Less is more. A fairytale solution Think of your problem like a classic fairytale with a her...
