Learn the role of a troubleshooter and the four stages of problem solving, plus practical tools for triage, root cause analysis, and rapid resolution.
Learn to transform symptoms into a clear problem by applying tools like 5W1H, SQA, PSC, and an issue tree, then structure tasks with scope boxes and a smart problem approach.
Master root cause analysis using the five whys and Ishikawa fishbone diagrams, generate 3–5 hypotheses, and test them with a minimal data set and hypothesis log.
Master analytics and prioritization with the 8020 rule, Pareto diagrams, process mapping, bottleneck identification, and check sheet data stratification to generate a short list of 3–7 high-impact actions.
Generate multiple workable solutions using divergence and convergence techniques like brainstorming rules, six hats, mind mapping, brainwriting, scamper, round robin, and dot voting to prioritize impactful ideas.
Learn how to apply Triz in business to form the ideal final result, uncover hidden resources, and resolve contradictions using Altshuler's 40 principles and trees, with pilot testing.
Master advanced troubleshooting with stratagems and paradoxical questions, apply morphological analysis and focal lenses, and mix basic and advanced methods to overcome dead ends.
Guide group decision making through facilitation techniques and neutral moderation, using a structured 90-minute session with nominal group technique and Delphi method to reach committed, actionable solutions.
Explore typical profit decline drivers and diagnose them using specialized frameworks such as profit bridge, unit economics, funnel analysis, and Lean and Six Sigma tools.
Explore the tools and development of a troubleshooter, applying one symptom, one approach, and one pilot within 1–2 weeks while balancing metrics, confidentiality, reversibility, and ethics to build reputation.
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Imagine this: a project is falling apart, deadlines are burning, the team is arguing about who’s to blame, and after an hour of discussion there’s still no solution. Everyone keeps treating the symptoms while the real cause stays hidden. And then someone walks into the room — the person trusted with the toughest problems. They ask a few precise questions, map the structure of the issue, quickly find the bottleneck — and in 30 minutes the team already has a clear action plan.
That person is a troubleshooter. And you can become one.
This course is designed for those who want to solve the “unsolvable” — quickly, systematically, and confidently. You’ll get tools used by consultants, managers, and analysts in top companies. Instead of theory about how things should work, you’ll use real methods, frameworks, and logic applied in real business cases.
Over 10 sessions, you’ll build your own troubleshooting arsenal:
Section 1. Business Troubleshooting Basics
• Role of a troubleshooter vs crisis management
• Four steps of effective problem solving
• Problem framing, SCQA, 5W1H
• MECE, logic trees, cause-and-effect trees
Section 2. Root Cause Analysis & Analytics
• 5 Whys, Ishikawa diagram
• Hypotheses and data
• 80/20 rule, Pareto
• TOC bottlenecks, stratification, decision matrices
Section 3. Creative Methods & TRIZ
• SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, mind mapping
• Contradictions, IFR
• 40 TRIZ principles
• Morphological analysis and advanced techniques
Section 4. Facilitation & Team Decision-Making
• Session moderation, conflict management
• Delphi, nominal group techniques
• Ethics and trust
Section 5. The Troubleshooter’s System
• Tool map
• Method combinations
• Professional development plan
This course is unlike those that just explain the obvious. You’ll study cases, break down real situations, and adapt tools to your own tasks. Each technique is explained so you can apply it the very next day.
If today you solve problems intuitively, after the course you’ll work systematically, fast, and convincingly — so people come to you when something truly needs saving.
Access starts immediately after payment — and every session moves you closer to the level of a professional valued in any company.
Join while spots are open. Start developing a skill that can change your career trajectory.
