If organizational problems were simple, they would have been solved long ago. Your organization's problems are complex, and require the collaboration of a dedicated, innovative team to develop uniquely creative solutions. Most adults already know how to solve problems. But all adults don't solve problems similarly. Given this, they often can't work together to effectively solve organizational problems.

The CAI problem-solving method differs from other less effective approaches in four ways. We:

Make sure we're working on the right problems.
Redefine the problem to increase the number of opportunities available to solve the issue.
Create many genuinely innovative solutions.
Don't consider the problem solved until we've persuaded decision makers to implement the recommended solution.

In solving problems, we make use of the Honorable Thief, TRIZ, Brute Think, Fishbone Charts, AHP (Expert Choice), Silver Bullet prioritization, and Pugh prioritization, as well as many other powerful tools.

CAI offers two services to help you solve persistent problems and make sure they stay solved:

Facilitate a team to identify, select, define, analyze and permanently solve work-related problems.
Train problem-solving team members to practically apply CAI's unique, proven problem-solving technique.
