Although many great thinkers and problem solvers have recognized the importance of problem definition, most engineering students and practicing engineers are accustomed to being handed a problem statement and seldom take time to analyze it to make sure they are working on the right one. Misdirected problem statements can limit the design space or impose false constraints on the solutions considered. Based largely on materials in Gerard Voland's 2004 book, Engineering by Design, the facilitators will pose a hypothetical problem statement to the group and then have the participants systematically explore and refine that problem statement using the following five techniques: Present State, Future State, Why, Why Diagram, Statement, Restatement, Checklisting/Trigger Words, and Situation Analysis. We believe that more entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs will be successful if they apply these techniques to help ensure they are solving the right problem.
