Strategic Problem-Solving: Breaking Silos and Driving Organizational Growth

This course equips leaders and professionals with a systematic framework for transforming organizational challenges into strategic growth opportunities. Through the What/Why/How methodology and root cause analysis, participants learn to challenge entrenched processes, break down functional silos, and foster a culture of productive inquiry. By integrating mission alignment, process improvement, and enhanced communication across organizational boundaries, learners will develop practical skills to identify hidden constraints, strengthen control environments, and drive sustainable performance improvements. This hands-on course combines strategic thinking with operational execution to create lasting organizational change.

Learning Objectives:

• Apply the What/Why/How framework to systematically diagnose organizational problems and identify root causes rather than symptoms
• Challenge existing processes and assumptions using professional skepticism to uncover opportunities hidden within "the way things have always been done"
• Conduct root cause analysis to distinguish between process deficiencies and control weaknesses, enabling targeted interventions
• Identify and dismantle organizational silos that impede information flow, collaboration, and growth across functional boundaries
• Align mission, purpose, and execution by connecting the organization's "why" to concrete "how" strategies that drive forward momentum
• Design integrated solutions that simultaneously improve operational processes and enhance control effectiveness
• Develop and implement communication strategies that promote organization-wide transparency, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving
• Transform constraints into growth opportunities by reframing problems as catalysts for innovation and organizational development
