Analysis Checklist: DOs and DON’Ts template
Chris Griffiths’ Analysis Checklist template will help you to focus on the important considerations of the analysing process. You can use the template to adopt the right approach in evaluating all the alternatives available to you, without being stuck in your comfort zone.
What is an Analysis Checklist?
The Analysis Checklist comprises all the considerations you need to take into account plus the activities or thoughts you need to avoid whilst using a creative problem solving approach. It collects this crucial information in a simple side-by-side format to make the contrast between ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’ clear.
Why should you use Chris Griffiths’ Analysis Checklist?
Analysing a particular problem involves evaluating various alternatives to find out the right course of action. However, your brain might assert your preconceptions by default to make the decision making process easier. Not considering all the factors affecting your situation will inevitably lead you to not finding the appropriate solution.
With Chris Griffiths’ Analysis Checklist, you will be reminded of each action you need to take which will make sure each alternative is evaluated without any preconceived notions. It is very easy to get stuck with only one option, but this template will urge you to come out of your comfort zone and consider other alternatives which may or may not consume excess time. Opening up to accept inputs and criticism from others might be difficult but this template works for your benefit in your quest of discovering the most effective solution.
