Four Box Problem Solving: A Jump Start into a Rapid Learning Cycle
Key Takeaways:
- The Four Box problem-solving method is a brainstorming tool to help you begin to understand the problem that your rapid learning cycle will solve.
- The four boxes help you capture what you already understand about the problem and what you intend to do next.
- The brainstorming technique is not a substitute for going to the source to make observations, confirm possible causes or evaluate solutions - but it can get you started.

LOOK AGAIN: How to Conduct an Actionable Reflection Even to Capture Reusable Knowledge
Key Takeaways:
- LOOK AGAIN closes the loop of the LAMDA cycle to ensure that learning continues.
- Most post-project reviews do not capture reusable knowledge: it’s too project-specific, reports are too inaccessible and sometimes, lack of safety leads to lack of candor.
- Actionable reflection events develop generalized, actionable and accessible knowledge that is more likely to have lasting benefit for the organization.

Plan to ACT: A Deep Dive into the ACT step of the LAMDA Cycle
Key Takeaways:
- The final step before moving into ACT is to build the implementation plan.
- In PDCA, the PLAN step can lead to the misconception that the implementation plan is the focus of the step’s activity - LAMDA puts the focus on good problem-solving.
- A good implementation plan helps teams throughout the entire ACT stage, even though the plan itself will almost certainly change before ACT is finished.
