About this Presentation
When analyzing systems the process of getting closer to the core problem is through the use of the consolidation process of several clouds. The process has its own challenges. Jelena will go through the ideas of how to logically consolidate the clouds. On the way to the solution the assumptions play a critical role. Therefore, it is beneficial to listen to some good and practical ideas about how to work with assumptions.
What Will You Learn
To help you get the most value from this session, we’ve highlighted a few key points. These takeaways capture the main ideas and practical insights from the presentation, making it easier for you to review, reflect, and apply what you’ve learned.
Many improvement efforts fail because teams start with solutions instead of clearly defining the Undesirable Effects (UDEs) that reveal the real problem in the system.
The session shows how properly identifying and wording UDEs is essential, since they represent ongoing states that prevent the system from performing better, not isolated events or actions.
You’ll see how building a UDE Cloud links symptoms, needs, and actions in a logical structure that exposes the hidden conflict behind persistent problems.
The presentation highlights common mistakes when constructing Clouds and explains how clearer logic and wording help teams move from scattered issues to a focused path toward resolving the core conflict.
