Three Lenses to look at a problem strategically

By Christos Gkoros

Lens 1: The person

In what ways (if any) might the individual be contributing to the problem? (Things like their workstyle, lack of skill, motivation, clarity.)

Lens 2: You

In what ways (if any) might you be contributing to the problem? (Maybe you didn’t provide feedback, didn’t set clear expectations.)

Lens 3: The team/ organisation

In what ways (if any) might the team/organisation/systems be contributing to the problem? (Things like interdependencies, unclear processes, conflicting priorities.)
