We want you to be sure that A3 Problem Solving is the right choice for you, so here’s a list of reasons to pick this course. If those don’t resonate at all, no need to worry! There’s plenty of courses to choose from.
A3 Management offers a structured, step-by-step approach to problem-solving that focuses on solving the root causes of problems rather than firefighting symptoms of the underlying problem. The structure even takes into account the possibility of a problem being larger or smaller than initially thought, and allows you to flexibly counter these and other issues with little to no extra documentation.
As a project method, the A3 method is surprisingly simple, as its design and structure are easy to interpret even for people not involved in your project at all. The format’s simple and concise nature makes it easy to communicate what actions need to be taken and what their results are. This way there is no need for mountains of confusing documents and administration, allowing you instead to focus on actual results.
