3.1: Correctly frame the situation

Purpose

The purpose of this thinking task is to maximize the likelihood of identifying (and solving) the correct problem. In general, there is a normal human tendency to force-fit situations/problems into preconceived models. This task helps overcome fixed mindsets.

 

Facilitator Questions

o  How do I view this situation/problem? How would I state it in 15 words or less?

o  How would you frame the situation as an opportunity or something positive?

o  How might other people state or frame the current situation (problem)?

o  How do other people view the situation differently than I do? Why?

o  What responsibility do I have with this situation?
