Why problem framing?

There is no shortage of customer problems for you to work on. The challenge is choosing.

When you pick the right problem, you bring focus to opportunities that drive company growth.

Problem Framing systematizes this process for you.

The 8-step framework includes: (1) Problem Discovery, (2) Problem Sensing, (3) Problem Categorization, (4) Context Analysis, (5) User Mapping, (6) Target Customer Definition, (7) Opportunity Mapping, (8) Problem Reframing.

Why a toolkit?

Online courses cover the what but not the how.

And rigid templates lock you into processes that don’t work for your specific niche and nuance.

We’ve combined modular and customizable templates, intuitive guides, and instructional videos you’ll use and appreciate.

It’s everything you’ll need to generate clear, actionable problem statements that your team and stakeholders are excited to solve.
