When solving a problem what approach do you take? Some issues can be overwhelming, but if you break them down you'll often find a solution.
There’s always a balance between working fast and being thorough when gathering data and analysing evidence. You need to visualise the scope of a problem to prioritise what and where to investigate. This helps you keep an open mind about where potential solutions lie.
The best way to do this is to create a visual map or ‘problem tree’ to see how to break the problem into manageable pieces. It doesn’t need to take long and it's a good idea to do this on a large scale (e.g. on a whiteboard or wall, with markers or post-it notes).
