Need to bust problems down to size? Use “The Force” to help!

Problem Buster © uses an array of effective problem solving tools to assist in determining the root cause of problems that don’t seem to go away. Until the problem-solving group can identify the root cause of a problem it is highly unlikely that they will come to a successful solution.

The tools used in Problem Buster include Pareto Charts, Run Charts, Histograms, Flow Charts and Scatterplots amongst others. But by favourite tool is The Force Field Diagram.

Below is an example of the Force Field Diagram applied to the reason Problem Solving groups are ineffective in their pursuits:

Competing forces are captured using this tool

The Force Field Diagram was originally developed by Kurt Lewin, a brilliant psychologist of the 20th Century.

The diagram shows clearly the equal and opposing forces, Driving and Restraining, which are preventing a certain project from moving ahead. By recognising and identifying these forces, steps can be taken to decrease the power of the Restraining forces, and increase the power of the Driving forces, so that the project can move ahead.
