LIMITLESS CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS MAPPING TOOL & WORKSHEET

All problems have a root cause. But finding a solution to a problem is not always easy. How can we begin to understand all the causes and their relationship that influence our work? Many of the problems we are trying to solve, have lots of causes and effects. We need to understand these factors to be able to design effective ways to address them. The Causes and Symptoms Mapping is a useful technique to help explore all the causes and effects of a problem. It differentiates causes from effects or symptoms, and so giving a better idea of the solutions needed to solve a problem permanently. The technique takes into account not only the obvious causes and effects, but the underlying ones as well. Thus, it helps build a shared understanding of where best to focus on making the efforts.
