How do you analyze and solve entrepreneurial problems?
Top Expert Response
The first step is to clearly define the problem you are facing and its root causes. You can use tools like the 5 Whys, the Fishbone Diagram, or the Problem Statement to help you ask the right questions and narrow down the problem. Gather relevant data and information to support your problem definition and avoid assumptions or biases.
- Generate possible solutions
Solution: Brainstorming sessions to explore various possibilities, allowing to gain insights from diverse perspectives. To answer the "WHY," with the DVF Theory:
Desirability: Do we have an audience with a genuine need for our solution to address their problems? Viability: Is our solution sustainable over the long term?
Viability: (Is it sustainable long-term?), and scalability (Can it grow or adapt?).
Feasibility: Can the solution be practically implemented? Once we decode these elements, we can be confident that our business will thrive in a competitive market. With this clarity, we can then focus on how to scale the business by developing proper strategies and executing them effectively.
The proposed solutions must be measurable and not vague. Clearly defining the objectives that need to be achieved by the end of the resolution process is key to navigating and overcoming the problem.

Implement and monitor solutions and track their impact and performance. Use tools like the Action Plan, the Gantt Chart, or the OKR to plan and execute solutions and assign roles and responsibilities. Use tools like the KPI, Dashboard, or Balanced Scorecard to monitor and report progress and outcomes.
