Most professionals jump to solutions before finding the root cause, which is why the same problems keep coming back. This course teaches you structured, creative problem solving methodologies used by top consulting firms and operations leaders. You will learn 5 Why Analysis, Fishbone Diagrams, Pareto Analysis, FTA, FMEA, MECE, ECE, and TRIZ. The core focus is on the Kepner Tregoe (KT) Problem Analysis method: defining the problem correctly, doing "Is" and "Is Not" analysis, finding distinctions and changes, and verifying the most probable cause.

This Course Offers

• A complete toolkit of problem solving methodologies for root cause analysis (RCA), not just symptom fixing.
• Deep dive into the Kepner Tregoe (KT) method, used by companies like HUL and J&J to solve recurring problems.
• Three real life assignments with feedback to build practical excellence.
• Case reviews and roleplay scenarios to apply structured thinking to real situations.
