Process

Step 1 - Problem Structuring

We use a systematic process for structuring the problem. We consider aims, objectives and how success is defined. We also look at the problem from alternative perspectives and consider stakeholder viewpoints and objectives.

Step 2 - Idea Generation

We use a range of novel tools from our Creativity toolset to help generate ideas. Much more than random brainstorming, it is guaranteed to come up with more ideas than thought possible.

Step 3 Problem Solving

This step involves taking all the ideas generated and evaluating them. This includes gathering sufficient background information and evaluating the choices with the aid of unique Software.

Step 4 - Monitoring and Review

Once the decision is made and as the resulting project progresses, reviews are carried out to ensure continued validity and that the identified benefits are delivered.
