Do You Understand the Problem You’re Trying to Solve?

from HBR On Leadership

Problem solving skills are invaluable in any job. But Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg says that all too often, we jump to find solutions to a problem without taking time to really understand the dilemma we face. Wedell-Wedellsborg is an expert in innovation and the author of the book, What's Your Problem?: To Solve Your Toughest Problems, Change the Problems You Solve. In this episode, you’ll learn how to reframe tough problems by asking questions that reveal all the factors and assumptions that contribute to the situation.
