Group presentation
Presentation of group problem solving project proposal based the suggested case studies given
(Group, in-class, 20 mins)
Group Presentation
Each group shall be randomly divided into groups of approximately 3 students to work on a problem-solving case study to apply and practice the bulletproof problem-solving methodology steps as they are taught and receive regular feedback from workshop tutors. Suggested case studies are as follows,
· TikTok and children’s data privacy
Groups will present their projects via PPT following the 7 step bulletproof problem-solving structure:
Slide 1: Title slide
• project title.
problem solving project
TikTok and children’s data privacy
Slides 2 & 3: Definition of the problem
• Client: A brief summary and history of your client, including decision-maker who has commissioned this project.
• Problem: A short description of the situation that prevails for your client at the outset of problem solving (i.e., the state of affairs that are problematic).
• Provide clear evidence of the business problem, ideally quantifying the problem and illustrating it graphically.
• Cause: A set of observations or complications around the situation that creates the tension or dynamic that captures the problem (i.e., what changed or what went wrong that created the problem).
• Problem definition statement: In the form of an objective (e.g., To reduce Coca-Cola’s plastic waste by 50% by 2026), define a specific, measurable and actionable problem.
Slides 2 (example):
Client:
Problem: Provide clear evidence of the business problem, ideally quantifying the problem and illustrating it graphically.
Slides 3 (example):
Cause: Observations or Complications
Problem definition statement: A single SMART objective statement
Slide 4: Problem structure and components logic tree
• Produce an initial logic tree (i.e., factor/lever/component) that breaks the problem into component parts or issues (e.g., causes of the problem) to illustrate and define the basic structure of the problem.
• This log tree should have at least two branches and two layers, e.g. four problem components.
Slides 4 (example):
Be sure to use the chart formatting in the example
The amount of chart content is the same as the example
The content in “Issues” is based on the content of “Observations or Complications” on the previous slide. The two sections are interrelated, with the previous section creating the following section.
Slide 5: Solution drivers and hypothesised solutions logic tree
• Produce a more complete logic tree (i.e., deductive logic, hypothesis or hybrid of the two) of:
• solution drivers, which help us to see potential pathways to solve the problem,
• concluding with your hypothesised solutions as the leaves of your logic tree.
• This log tree should have at least two branches and three layers, e.g. four to eight potential solutions (i.e., one or two potential solutions per problem component.
Slides 5 (example):
Be sure to use the chart formatting in the example
The amount of chart content is the same as the example
The content in “Hypotheses” is based on the content of “Issues” on the previous slide. The two sections are interrelated, with the previous section creating the following section.
The content in “Sub-hypotheses” is based on the content of “Sub-Issues” on the previous slide. The two sections are interrelated, with the previous section creating the following section.
Slide 6: Prioritisation matrix
• Draw a 2×2 prioritisation matrix with:
• Ability to influence (i.e., controllability) on your horizontal axis.
• Potential scale of impact (i.e., importance) on your vertical axis.
• Place ALL of your hypothesised solutions on to the prioritisation matrix.
• Make notes justifying the placement of each hypothesised solution, but do not put commentary on your slide.
Slides 6 (example):

The amount of chart content is the same as the example
The content in this 2×2 prioritisation matrix is based on the content of “Sub-hypotheses” on the previous slide.
Slide 7: Workplan
• Produce a workplan table.
• Each prioritised hypothesised solution should be represented by a single row in your workplan table.
• Your workplan should include the following columns:
• Prioritised leaf – the prioritised hypothesised solution you are taking forward.
• Research question – the question you are asking that either tests or informs the implementation of the prioritised lead (i.e., provides a detailed roadmap of how your client can execute the prioritised leaf).
• Hypothesis – your best guess answer to the research question ahead of the analysis.
• Analysis technique – how you will analyse your data to answer your research question, e.g. root-cause analysis.
• Data sources – where from and how you will access your data, e.g., database.
Slides 7 (example):

The amount of chart content is the same as the example
The content in “Hypothesised Solution” is based on the content of “The right part of the 2×2 prioritisation matrix” on the previous slide.
Slide 8: Analysis
• Select one of your prioritised leaves and research questions from your workplan that is most straightforward to answer.
• Access the proposed data and undertake the proposed analysis technique.
• Present your findings.
• Identify the insight.
Slides 8 (example):
1. Select one of your prioritised leaves and research questions from your workplan
2. Analysis of proposed data using the proposed analysis technique.
3. Findings
4. Insight
Slide 9: One-day answer
Conclude with a one-day answer to convey what understandings are emerging, what unknowns still stand between you and the problem resolution and your best guess at a resolution, covering the following:
• Situation: A short description of the situation that prevails at the outset of problem solving. The state of affairs that sets up the problem.
• Observation or complication: A set of observations or complications around the situation that creates the tension or dynamic that captures the problem. What changed or what went wrong that created the problem.
• Implication or resolution: The best idea of the implication or resolution of the problem that you have right now. At the beginning this will be rough and speculative. Later it will be a more and more refined idea that answers the question “What should we do?”
