Problem Framing Canvas: Making Sense of Problems for Better Responses

This is a booklet that was born out of frustration…and our passion to turn the frustration into action! Too often we find ourselves in situations where people start brainstorming ideas or even falling in love with particular solutions before they’ve really made sense of the problem (or uncovered the multiple opportunities!).

We’ve been testing and refining this problem framing canvas for a few years in conversations, through running workshops, using it in our teaching and our work – and we’re now making the canvas and process notes open source. Would love to hear your thoughts and how you might use it and reflections of framing and reframing!
