Problem Statements
Activity Instruction
This unit's assignment includes developing a problem statement for your OIP. An important step in this development is to clearly identify the problem.
For this discussion, consider problem statements as you respond to the following:
- In the development of a problem statement, what are some components you consider important when identifying the real causes of a problem?
- How would you describe a problem in a way that is clear to the management team that will be evaluating the OIP?
- Why is it important to keep your audience in mind as you determine what level of information and detail is appropriate?
- What role does the cost-benefit relationship play as you frame the problem and proposed opportunity?
