Welcome to what may be the most important module in this course. I'll be talking about problem-solving and a way of visually representing problem-solving. You may have heard this referred to as "A3 reporting" or "A3 storytelling". I will be referring to it as "A3 thinking"; that is, it's a way of thinking rather than documenting problem-solving on a piece of paper. 

This is the most important module because in the Toyota Way, problem-solving drives continuous improvement and showing respect for people. Problem-solving is the core skill of a lean leader and it is the skill most leaders lack. 

The teaching objectives for this section are the following: identify three common mistakes in problem-solving; demonstrate root cause analysis as a narrowing and focusing process; and associate countermeasures with hypotheses that should be tested.
