What is World Class Problem Solving? How does it help your business maximize profits?

1. Begin with a Scientific Attitude – No Blame

The best management seeks improvement without reprisal for past errors.  This is a mandate in our World Class Problem Solving approach.  Only in this environment are ideas freely generated and proposed. Responsibility for an existing problem does not matter.

2. Scientific Method – Define the Problem and Gather Data

Most business problems are poorly defined.

The 5/67 Problem Solving approach uses the Scientific Paradigm.  This focus requires a clear definition of a problem and a steadfast commitment to obtain all data that is relevant to the problem.

Analysis prior to a good Definition and Measurement phase is just Guessing and Hoping (i.e. Intuition).

3. Solution Design

We are a problem solving business.  We use a variety of different tools to solve problems, not a fixed approach like Lean Thinking or 6 Sigma .

Our primary focus is 5/67 Thinking, which uses 5% of available resources to get 67% of the possible benefit.  I.e. the efficient solution.

While we started as Toyota Production System experts, we apply a variety of techniques to solve problems.  When a problem is well-defined and relevant measurements are properly obtained, designing a solution to the problem is the creative and fun part of this method.  Analytics, business expertise, experience, and ideas from throughout an organization contribute to excellent solutions.

4. Execution

Every executive and venture capitalist knows that good ideas and good people are not enough.

Projects must be executed well.  Some of our clients are good at this, others not so much.

Our 5/67 Problem Solving approach ensures that project execution targets the 5% of effort that gives 67% of the results.  To do this you need clear Problem Definitions, Measurements, and Solution Designs.  We are experts at this process.
