1. Frame Problem: define the problem that is being addressed in specific terms.
2. Develop Hypotheses : list potiential causes for each problem and the key drivers that impact or influence each cause.
3. Gather Data: gather relevant data, information and background on the key drivers that will allow each to be proven or disproved.
4. Test Hypotheses: Analyze each possible cause to determine if the data proves it is a cause,effect, unintended variable or irrelevant.
5. Create Solutions : for hypotheses that prove valid, identify possible solutions and examine each solution’s feasibility for successful implementation.
6. Develop Plans : for variable solutions, estimate all necessary tasks, investments, milestones, resource commitments, metrics and returns.
7. Select Solutions : Use hurdle rate or other decision-making criteria to determine which solutions should be implemented.
