for Creative Business Problem Solving

Fly higher to see a bigger picture. Ask yourself, "What are we trying to achieve strategically?"

Now, look at the problem top-down. Can you see signs of entrepreneurial opportunities it brings about?

What are our assumptions?

Could we be assuming something that is incorrect?

What could we do differently and better?
