Our business world is becoming more connected and interdependent, the crucial issue for many organizations though is that they don’t have an integrated approach to solve complex problems holistically. They haven’t reached the next level of business growth and maturity.

Patterns are containers for articulating relationships for enabling design thinking and problem-solving. Each pattern is useful to address some specific problem. Pattern understanding enables us to capture deep insight into complex issues by peeling back different layers and addressing the real problems systematically, making problem-solving more science than art. What could be in a stronger relationship to us than something that solves a problem for us? Pattern perhaps helps to discover or fix something; sometimes tie the patterns together so you can navigate among them for figuring out better solutions.

Understanding and diagnosing root causes helps to reduce frictions, tensions, and conflicts that arise, enforce interrelationship and cross-functional communication and collaboration. Top executives focus on navigating the business in the right direction; but they do not actually do the daily work, asking frontline staff’s feedback enables the management to know what’s going on in the real time.
