Introducing CASPERTM Problem Solving & Issue Resolution

Issue resolution is your ability to cope with the problems that need to be solved, the decisions that need to be made, and the risks that need to be mitigated. It is your ability to think through these issues, and consistently take effective action to resolve them.

CASPERTM is our process that enables you to embrace the spirit of positive change. It is the methodology that can completely transform the everyday effectiveness of your workforce. It can give your teams the confidence to tackle any issue that the business throws at them with clarity and confidence. It will ensure that your teams are thinking and executing flawlessly. CASPERTM can help whole organisational cultures to make a breakthrough in business performance.

CASPERTM stands for Clarify-Analyse-Select-Plan-Execute-Review. It is our framework for outstanding issue resolution that has been inspired by world class business practice from the likes of Charles Kepner & Benjamin Tregoe, Taiichi Ohno, Stephen Covey, and Larry Bossidy. The structure is the same for all issues; Clarify it, Analyse it, Select the course of action, Plan it, Execute on it, and Review its success. Each stage of CASPERTM  is underpinned by a systematic thinking and execution process that can permamently resolve even the most challenging of organisational issues.
