Problem Solving
For every problem there is a solution.
Problem Solving provides you with the skills to find solutions to any challenge or opportunity, regardless of its type, size, or complexity.
The ability to confidently solve problems in a structured, systematic and creative way leads not only to better answers and faster decisions. It also yields higher personal work efficiency and a shared team language for analysis and decision-making.
Problem solving is a core competency for every leader and professional, and is consistently rated a top skill for thriving in a future shaped by AI and automation.
Principles, methods and tools
Our Problem Solving programs deliver the full set of methods and tools to define, structure, prioritize, analyze and solve any problem, and to communicate the recommended solution with clarity and impact.
The problem-solving process and principles are structured around five steps:
Define the problem with SMART problem statements
Structure the problem with MECE issue trees
Prioritize the issues with the 80/20 principle and prioritization matrices
Analyze the issues with hypotheses and data
Communicate the solution with synthesis, the pyramid principle and SCR/SCQ
Our problem-solving approach is inspired by the global tier-one management consulting firms, but adjusted to the context and realities outside consulting.
Problem Solving is Anadeon’s first and most sought-after client service area.
It builds directly on founder Martin Overgaard Jensen’s track record as an outstanding problem-solver at McKinsey & Co., doubling as a select internal and external teacher and coach in problem-solving at the consulting firm.
More than ten years of original development and refinement has gone into Anadeon’s teaching and coaching content for problem-solving, making it unrivalled in terms of quality and learning efficacy.
