Faster Problem Solving: A Three-Part Framework for Innovation

This podcast episode explores a three-part framework for faster problem solving to speed up innovation. The framework includes exploration, alignment, and decision making. The speaker, Chad, shares his expertise in problem solving based on his 25-year career in Silicon Valley and Fortune 500 companies. The importance of purposeful innovation, especially in times of economic austerity, is emphasized. The podcast highlights the need for a methodology to objectively take ideas forward and create shared understanding among team members. The three phases of the decision sprint process are explained: exploration, where key unknowns are canvassed and questions are gathered; alignment, where shared understanding is created by drawing conclusions from the exploration; and decision making, where concrete actions are determined based on the conclusions.
