Understand, Then Execute: Unpacking the First Word
A video reduced problem solving to two steps: understand the problem, then execute on that understanding. The order is right, but the first word is overloaded. Understanding breaks into five steps with their own completion tests (what counts as solved, where you stand, the facts, the model, the test against reality), and shared understanding is a separate step again, because a team executes on as many understandings as it has people.
