To develop ideas efficiently, you need a strategy that addresses the identified problem.

5 Phases

The Strategic Problem Solving process has 5 phases:

❶ structuring the problem;

❷ defining the desired result, constraints and strategy;

❸ gathering data and analyzing it;

brainstorming ideas to develop recommendations; and

❺ gaining organizational buy-in.

The ideas you want to develop should flow from the strategies you identify to achieve the objectives.

Creative Problem Solving

Objective is what you want to achieve. Strategy is how you propose to achieve the objective. Such strategic alignment defines which domains to explore and which ones to avoid.
