The Problem-Solving Gate

Most problems are not hard because the answer is hidden. They are hard because we skip steps. The Problem-Solving Gate is seven stages, from acknowledging a problem to signing it off, that I first wrote down in platform-operations war rooms and have used ever since, at work and at home.

Read them in order: the original for teams and organizations, then the same stages applied to personal problems.
