Why you need a structured approach to problem solving

Came across this skit by comedians John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. The conversation is not far removed from meetings that I have participated in. It reminded me of the need for us to have a structured approach to problem solving.

Many organizations lack a systematic and common method of problem solving. There is no magic in A3 Problem Solving other than it is a proven methodology and one that is widely accepted. The advantage of course is that you can access a wealth of knowledge on the subject and find others that can assist you. It prevents this type of dialogue.
