Problem-solving worksheet
From the lesson Problem Solving
Work through each step on paper or on screen. Use a real business, a project of your own or a friend’s idea. Keep this page for your portfolio.
1Pick a problem a business faces and write it as a clear statement.
2List three possible causes and three possible solutions.
3Choose one and justify it with the worksheet.
Worked example to compare with: From a request to the real problem
- Client request: "We need more Instagram followers."
- Questions: why do you want them? What would more followers change? What happens when someone follows you today?
- Finding: the real goal is more bookings, and most bookings come from the website.
- Options: a follower campaign (slow, uncertain), a booking-focused campaign (direct), or a website fix (fast).
- Recommendation: fix the booking path first, then run a small campaign to it. The client agrees because it addresses the real goal.
