Situation Analysis / Function Modeling:

Learn the power of functional thinking and 4 ways to “functionally model” a system or situation for a deeper understanding of the problem and solution space while discovering, and formulating alternative problem statements for optimum solvability, value, and innovation potential. These techniques help to clarify complicated situation into a “functional cause-effect” language including your customers attitude towards the various events. Reveal root causes, inherent contradictions, and reformulated problem statements that appear to have made the situation problematic.

A way of modeling the situation for a deeper understanding by deriving “Standard and Reformulated” Problem Statements. This technique describes the situation in a “functional” and “cause-effect” language’ for optimum solvability and innovation potential. Clarify complicated situations by describing the functions (events), the cause-and-effect relationships, and client’s and customers attitude towards the various events. Reveal root causes, inherent contradictions, and reformulated problems that appear to have made the situation problematic. Learn Function Analysis Goals, Steps, and Elements.
