Defining the problem requires looking at the problem from multiple perspectives and refining the problem until you get to the heart of it.

In 1-2 double-spaced pages, clearly and concisely define a current problem within your organization. You may begin with a small paragraph (3-4 sentences at most) describing the nature of the company in which you work. However, the bulk of this assignment should be focused on detailing a significant problem. Be sure to define the problem accurately.

Defining the problem requires looking at the problem from multiple perspectives and refining the problem until you get to the heart of it. Perhaps sales have decreased in your organization, which is a problem. But why is there a decrease in sales? Is the marketing not effective? Is there a quality control issue?

Thoroughly analyze the situation to determine exactly the true problem. Again, focus only on the problem in this assignment. For now, work on finding the heart of the problem.
