Course Description 

Given a problem with a verified root cause, students will learn various collaborative techniques to generate and prioritize creative solutions.  For a solution to be successful, it must be evaluated from a technical perspective and a people perspective.  The technical side of solution evaluation includes cost, potential benefits, ease of implementation, potential side effects, and verification that the solution addresses a root cause.  The people side of change is a critical aspect of solution implementation, which is often overlooked. Course topics include brainstorming, necessity feasibility grids, prioritization matrices, stakeholder analysis and communication plans, and RACI (responsible, accountable, consulted, informed) matrices.

• Upon satisfactory completion of the course, participants will:

• Develop solutions that address root causes.

• Establish criteria to evaluate solution alternatives and identify the best ones.
