# Problem Solving Workflow
|
|
|
|
**Type:** Interactive Document Workflow
|
|
**Module:** Creative Intelligence System (CIS)
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
Applies systematic problem-solving methodologies to crack complex challenges. Guides through problem diagnosis, root cause analysis, creative solution generation, evaluation, and implementation planning using proven analytical frameworks.
|
|
|
|
## Distinctive Features
|
|
|
|
- **Root Cause Focus**: Relentlessly drills past symptoms to identify true underlying issues
|
|
- **Method Library**: Comprehensive solving methods in `solving-methods.csv` (TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, Systems Thinking, Five Whys)
|
|
- **Detective Approach**: Methodical and curious investigation treating challenges as elegant puzzles
|
|
- **Framework-Driven**: Combines divergent and convergent thinking systematically
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Basic invocation
|
|
workflow problem-solving
|
|
|
|
# With problem context
|
|
workflow problem-solving --data /path/to/problem-brief.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Inputs
|
|
|
|
- **problem_description**: Challenge being addressed with symptoms and context
|
|
- **previous_attempts**: Prior solution attempts and their outcomes
|
|
- **constraints**: Boundaries and limitations for solutions
|
|
- **success_criteria**: How solution effectiveness will be measured
|
|
|
|
## Outputs
|
|
|
|
**File:** `{output_folder}/problem-solution-{date}.md`
|
|
|
|
**Structure:**
|
|
|
|
- Problem diagnosis and symptom analysis
|
|
- Root cause identification using analytical frameworks
|
|
- Solution ideation across multiple methodologies
|
|
- Solution evaluation matrix with pros/cons
|
|
- Implementation plan with risk mitigation
|
