An online capability mapping tool to help you identify how you solve problems across the full cycle: from defining the right problem through to capturing what was learned. The report shows where your capability sits across 17 competencies organised into seven phases, identifies your problem-solving style, and gives you a calibrated development action for each competency.
Most professionals build problem-solving capability through trial and error, accumulating hard lessons unevenly. The Capability Profile gives you a clearer starting point: a structured picture of where you are strong, where your approach breaks down, and where focused development will compound.
Fifteen minutes of honest reflection. A detailed PDF report in your inbox within 60 seconds.
INCLUDES
- A clear view of your current overall problem-solving capability and how it distributes across seven phases.
- Specific competencies where you are strong, including those you may not have noticed.
- Specific competencies where development will have the greatest leverage.
- Your problem-solving style identified as one of seven distinct approaches, with detail on what it enables and where it may be quietly limiting your results.
- A development action for each of your 17 competencies, calibrated to your proficiency level and matched to a tool in Problem Solver: the problem solving toolkit.
If you complete the profile again after a period of focused development, you can see where competencies have changed.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Professionals who perform well and want to develop with intention. Leaders who want to understand their own capability and read their team's. People in L&D and HR who need a tool grounded in the academic literature, specific enough to design targeted programmes and credible enough to present to senior stakeholders.
For teams, individual results combine into a picture of where collective problem solving breaks down: if the team excels at analysis but stalls at implementation, how decisions making unfolds, and how the team covers (or adapts) the full cycle.
THE SEVEN PHASES
The profile covers the complete problem-solving cycle across seven sequential phases. Each phase contains multiple specific competencies. Your report shows where you are strong and where focused development will have the greatest impact.
-
Define: Clearly identifying the actual problem, who is affected, and what success looks like before any action is taken.
-
Analyse: Investigating root causes rather than symptoms, understanding system-level connections, and gathering information systematically.
-
Devise: Generating diverse solution possibilities and designing approaches that address root causes.
-
Decide: Establishing clear criteria, comparing options objectively, and making sound decisions despite uncertainty.
-
Implement: Breaking solutions into executable steps and navigating the organisational realities of making change happen.
-
Improve: Measuring whether solutions actually worked and refining approaches based on evidence rather than assumption.
-
Document: Capturing decisions, rationale, and lessons so the organisation retains and builds on what has been learned.
