Why We Often Fix the Wrong Problem
In many teams, people rush to find solutions. They brainstorm, plan, and execute quickly but still end up solving the wrong issue.
The real challenge is not about how fast you think but how deeply you observe. True problem-solving begins with discovering what the real problem is. That is the core idea behind the 4Ps Problem-Solving Framework.
What This Framework Is
The 4Ps Problem-solving Framework helps people redefine problems before jumping to solutions.
It was developed by Japanese scholar Yoshinori Saito in his book <Professional Problem Finding: Conceptual & Analytical Skills>.
Saito believes that smart thinking is not about speed but about perspective. The model offers four dimensions: Purpose, Perspective, Position, and Period, which help you uncover the true nature of a problem through system thinking.
By examining a problem through these four lenses, you can avoid shallow assumptions, understand complex relationships, and make better decisions that create lasting results.
