Every professional knows that solving the wrong problem is worse than not solving anything at all. Yet most organizations invest far more in solution quality than in problem identification quality.
This workshop is built around a single, counterintuitive insight: the bottleneck in most high-stakes work is not analytical capability but rather the quality of problem framing before analysis begins. AI makes this gap more consequential, not less. A well-framed problem with AI assistance produces sharp, useful output. A poorly framed problem produces confident, plausible-sounding nonsense at scale.
Participants will practice the discipline of problem definition using a structured framework, apply it to real challenges from their own work, and experience firsthand how better framing produces better results, with or without AI.
