The Framework to Solve Any Problem | Insights with Roger Kastner

from What Do You Know To Be True? · host Roger Kastner

I came across this problem-solving framework 20 years ago and I’ve used it on almost every project I’ve been a part of ever since, and it is incredibly effective. All appreciation and snaps to Alex Osborn and Dr. Sydney Parns for developing the Creative Problem-Solving Process. True Snacks are bite-sized learning clips that come from an episode of the What Do You Know To Be True? podcast. The podcast conversations explore how ordinary people use their extraordinary talent, or superpower, to make meaningful impact in the world. I love a good framework that boosts clarity and performance amongst teams. And since teams solve problems all the time – having an effective and repeatable problem-solving model is a such an accelerator for higher productivity. Drop a comment and let us know if this model helps you and your teams. Or if you have a question about this model, please feel free to ask that too. If you have your own problem-solving framework that works great for you, I’d love to hear about it!To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the What Do You Know To Be True? podcast, I take a turn as a guest to talk about my superpower, Creating and Sharing Simple Frameworks. Friends of the podcast, Liv Olson and April McCormick both suggested the idea a few weeks apart, and I’m pretty good at noticing patterns, so I went with it. In the full episode I share a handful of frameworks… 1️⃣ Those I’ve created (Like the one I wrote about in my book, “The Project Success Checklist” or the framework that is the foundation for the podcast) 2️⃣ My “go to” framework for helping leaders assess employees’ responses to change 3️⃣ My favorite framework that I’ve used on almost every initiative in the last 20 years I love to share these frameworks with colleagues. Whether I created them or not, these frameworks help me live into my purpose. And like most people that I’ve interviewed for the podcast, my superpower didn’t come from a place of strength. Instead, that talent started as a way to attend to an unmet need. In the full episode, Roger answers the following questions: ➡️ How do I use a framework? ➡️ What frameworks are used in business and problem solving? ➡️ How do I create a framework? ➡️ What does "framework" mean in simple terms? Resources mentioned in the full episode: ➡️ What Do You Know To Be True? podcast:  ➡️ Roger’s LinkedIn ➡️ Roger’s book “The Project Success Checklist”➡️ April’s LinkedIn➡️ April’s Uncomfortable Friend podcast: "What Do You Know To Be True?" is a series of conversations where I speak with interesting people about their special talent or superhero power and the meaningful impact it has on others. The intention is to learn more about their experience with their superhero power, so that we can learn something about the special talent in each of us which allows us to connect more deeply with our purpose and achieve our potential.
