Why this topic matters
All the most important jobs in an organisation involve solving ambiguous problems. The more senior you get, the more ambiguous they become. To tackle these problems, you need a framework. This allows you to logically break down a problem and communicate the way you want to solve it to other stakeholders. It is the best way to build confidence in your approach and set yourself up for success.
