Do solving problems taps into your creativity & desire?

I bet you love a room buzzing with sticky notes:

You groupthink with the team, filling a whiteboard with so-called “creative ideas”

It taps into your creative confidence but from helping 50+ teams, I’ve learned:

→ Brainstorming feels productive only.
→ Thinking of ideas makes you blind.
→ Ignoring roots and hidden layers.

My coaching advice on problem-solving with clients:

Problems ≠ Solutions (Not the first thing to think of)

Problems =

1. Understanding dimensions (what’s obvious vs. buried)
2. Asking into blind spots (what people forget to say)
3. Analyzing details (what data hides)
4. Uncovering insights (what connects the chaos)

A problem solved properly isn’t just about fixing:

It’s protecting revenue,
Securing reputation,
And dismantling risk.

Stimulate your problem-solving with the right approach to deliver the right solution at the right cost.

P.S Do you start with sticky notes in your problem-solving projects?

By the way…I never groupthink. I work like a ninja in stealth mode.
