Key Benefits of the Five Whys Ideation Template

 

The Five Whys Workshop Template is a simple and effective tool for root cause analysis. Example Problem: A project is delayed:

1. Why is the project delayed? Because the team missed the deadline for the initial phase.

2. Why did the team miss the deadline? Because the initial phase took longer than expected.

3. Why did the initial phase take longer than expected? Because there were unexpected technical difficulties.

4. Why were there unexpected technical difficulties? Because we didn’t conduct a thorough risk assessment before starting.

5. Why didn’t we conduct a thorough risk assessment? Because we skipped the planning meeting due to time constraints.

Root Cause: Skipping the planning meeting led to inadequate risk assessment, causing unexpected technical difficulties and delaying the project.  The 5 Whys method is a powerful and accessible tool for identifying root causes of problems.

 

Can this method be used in ideation workshops as well? Of course, use it to illuminate ideas, either to look into the past (idea definition) or the future (idea implementation). In our professional ideation workshop tool “The 5 Whys Method for Ideation” we show you how you can achieve this easily, with our pre-defined workshop template.
