What is the key benefit of using the 5 Whys framework in problem-solving?


Question 4Answer a. It ensures all possible solutions are implemented
simultaneously. b. It avoids addressing deeper issues for faster resolution. c.
It provides a systematic approach to identifying root causes. d. It skips
detailed analysis and focuses on quick fixes.

ChatGPT said:

The correct answer is:

c. It provides a systematic approach to identifying root causes.


The 5 Whys framework is a problem-solving technique that helps
identify the root cause of an issue by repeatedly asking "Why?" (typically
five times) until the fundamental problem is uncovered. This approach
prevents addressing only symptoms and ensures long-term solutions.

The "5 Whys" technique is primarily used to identify the root cause of a
problem. Which of the following scenarios best illustrates how Airbnb could
apply this method? Question 5Answer a. To categorize different types of
guest complaints and find the most common one. b. To map out all possible
causes of booking cancellations in a diagram. c. To compare the number of
new bookings against cancellations to focus on the most frequent issues. d.
To explore the root cause of declining user engagement by asking why
multiple times until the underlying issue is found.

ChatGPT said:

The correct answer is:

d. To explore the root cause of declining user engagement by asking


why multiple times until the underlying issue is found.

The 5 Whys technique is used to dig deeper into a problem and identify
its root cause. For Airbnb, applying this method to declining user
engagement would involve repeatedly asking "Why?" to uncover
underlying issues, such as poor user experience, trust concerns, or pricing
mismatches, rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms.

Question 6Answer a. Focusing on feasibility b. Deferring judgment c.
Evaluating ideas in real-time d. Prioritizing quality over quantity

ChatGPT said:

The correct answer is:

b. Deferring judgment

evaluation during the idea-generation phase. This encourages creative
thinking, free idea flow, and participation, allowing team members to
share ideas without fear of immediate rejection. Evaluation and feasibility
analysis come later in the process.

a. Total R&D spending without product-specific relevance

When estimating Total Addressable Market (TAM), including total R&D


spending that is not directly relevant to a specific product or service can
lead to overestimation. TAM should be based on realistic demand,
industry trends, and product-specific relevance, rather than broad
industry expenditures.

Startup ABC realized its subscription-based model for learning tools wasn’t
addressing the core pain points of students. After observing customer
feedback, the team pivoted to a pay-per-use model for better affordability.
Should startups pivot only based on competitor strategies, ignoring their own
customer data? Question 11Answer a. False b. True
ChatGPT said:

a. False

Startups should pivot based on customer data, not just competitor


strategies. While understanding competitors is important, customer
feedback and pain points provide direct insights into what users truly
need.

In the case of Startup ABC, pivoting to a pay-per-use model based on


affordability concerns ensures that the new approach aligns with actual
customer preferences, leading to a better product-market fit.
