Identifying Business Challenges
We know that every business venture has challenges

To assist you in identifying business challenges, we utilise a structured approach that involves collecting relevant information and data from various sources, including stakeholders, documents, systems, and external factors that has an impact on your business venture. Through this process, we aim to define the boundaries of the challenge, identify underlying assumptions, and establish criteria and constraints for evaluating potential solutions.
Here's how we will guide you through the process:

Stage 1: Establish the need for a solution.
Determine the basic need underlying the challenge.
Identify who will benefit from finding a solution to the challenge.

Stage 2: Justify the need.
Evaluate why addressing the challenge is essential for the business venture.
Evaluate the existing strategy and determine whether it addresses challenges and
delivers positive change.
Identify who will be responsible for implementing the solution.

Stage 3: Contextualize the Challenge.
Review past attempts and existing strategies related to the challenge.
Identify internal and external constraints that may affect implementing a solution.

Stage 4: Write the Challenge statement.
Define the specific requirements a solution must meet.
Use appropriate language to describe the challenge.
Establish metrics for evaluating solutions and measuring success.
