Bulletproof Solving!
The first step in the problem solving process, as defined by the Bulletproof Solving Process
What is define the problem?
What MECE stands for.
What is Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive?
What is the 5 Whys?
Empathize, define, ideate, build, test, and deliver are all steps of this solving problem approach.
What is design thinking?
This is the 2nd step in the problem solving process.
What is Problem Disaggregation?
Name the primary benefit of using logic/issue trees.
A fishy framework used to get at the root causes of your problem.
What is a fishbone diagram?
A guess of the potential cause or resolution of the issue.
What is a hypothesis?
This can travel around the world while staying in a corner.
What is a stamp?
This is the third step in the problem solving process.
What is Prioritize?
What is mutually exclusive?
As soon as you recognize that a problem exists, the first step of the process is this
What is Define the problem.
The use of this sticky tool can be helpful when working in groups to build issue trees.
What are Post-It notes?
Name 2 types of logic trees.
What is inductive, deductive, decision tree, or hypothesis?
What is the consequence if your issue tree is not collectively exhaustive (you are missing parts of your issue tree)?
Before we go off and do analysis, we must do this step first.
What is build a workplan?
Why it is important to design the "end product" as part of your analysis.
What is to show the relationship or lack of relationship of the issue towards solving your problem.
This is lighter than a feather, but even the world's strongest person can't hold it much longer than a couple of minutes.
What is your breath?
Name 2 of the 6 parts of the Problem Definition context worksheet.
What is decision makers, criteria for success, key forces, time frame, boundaries/constraints, or accuracy?
How would you break the category "age" into 3 MECE branches?
What is 0-35, 36-65, and 66+?
Name 2 Heuristics we discussed in class.
What is order of magnitude cuts, s-curve, or marginal analysis?
Give 1 reason why people fail to solve their own problems.
What is they don't define the problem, they don't take the time to look at it from all angles, they reject solutions instead of exploring them?
