Steven Wyatt, Strategy Unit
Problem structuring a working definition for today
The process by which an analyst, working with her/his colleagues or customers, establishes and confirms the nature, context and complexities of a problem, such that s/he can specify with increased confidence a set of analyses that will appropriately address the problem.

Puzzles, problems and messes

How can we sort out the urgent care system in Dudley? puzzle, problem or mess?
22
A hospital has 10 consultants and 50 nurses who are each available to work 220 days per year and who are capable to working on procedures of two types, A and B. A team of one consultant and two nurses can do 4 procedures As per day. A team of two consultants and 5 nurses can do 8 procedure Bs per day. For every 5 people that receives procedure A, 3 will need procedure B immediately afterwards. The hospital cannot transfer a patient who has received procedure A to another hospital to carry out procedure B. There is demand for 9,000 procedure As and 12,000 procedure Bs per annum. All consultants and nurses are capable of working on cases of types A and B, but can only work on procedures of one type on any given day. The net income to the hospital is £200 for procedure A and £250 for procedures B. What level of procedures A and B should the hospital do in

A Warning
“One of the greatest mistakes that can be made when dealing with a mess is to carve off part of the mess, treat it as a problem and then solve it as a puzzle -- ignoring its links with other aspects of the mess. ”

scenarios to find out more about near, medium and long term futures. It is a group process that uses techniques in workshops and the transfer of knowledge to understand the nature and impact of those driving forces that will affect the organisation

most widely used Soft OA methods. It follows the logic that every problem is like a system that needs to be understood. Checkland felt that these systems (problems) could be better understood if compared to reality in a model which could structure a debate focused on the differences, and could later identify where changes need to be made.
developed Soft O.R. techniques. It aims to overcome the fact that any organisation has a constraint, or a number of constraints, that dominate the entire system and the secret to success lies with managing these constraints, and managing the system as it interacts with the constraints, to get the best out of the whole system. According to Goldratt, there are a number of key steps involved based on the fact that goal achievement is limited to at least one constraint. 35
