Solving business problems is fun, and follow many of the same steps you take when putting together a 1,000 piece puzzle. Original blog post here. Now the 3 minute video summary:

  • Don’t forget to look at the box; what is the picture we’re making? what does success look like?
  • Start with the edges of the puzzle; define the boundaries and what is in scope
  • Sort the pieces into colors, themes; what are the MECE buckets for analysis?
  • Hunt down the pieces and be crafty; refer back to you hypotheses and adapt
  • Puzzles have all the pieces included; consulting projects inevitably have some holes in the data
