Description

Take your Lean problem-solving and critical thinking skills to the next level. A3 Thinker will help you to systematically frame, analyze and eradicate your most critical problems in your workplace and personal life. This app features a unique set of 65 brainstorming cards with hundreds of questions designed to guide you in each step of an effective problem-solving sequence. Check out the screenshots and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed. ******************************* NOTE: This is NOT a data-entry app where you input your A3 Reports. Why? Because the truly hard part about A3 Thinking is... well... the thinking. So, rather than merely simulating a paper model and forcing you to cram information on a relatively small device, A3 Thinker works with you side-by-side. It doesnt matter if you write reports on an electronic template, a whiteboard, or the more traditional paper & pencil. Keep using what YOU find most effective to gather information, share insights and gain consensus! A3 Thinkers virtual cards will help you overcome any initial block and prompt you with the right questions when you need them most. ******************************* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Its like working side-by-side with a sensei on the production floor." •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• DEVELOP YOUR CRITICAL THINKING & PROBLEM-SOLVING TALENTS Use A3 Thinker to frame problems with improved clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, and significance. Choose a section in your report that needs work, read one or more relevant cards and be prepared to be stimulated and challenged! MOVE ORGANIZATIONS FORWARD, ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME With its focused questions, A3 Thinker will help you expand your circle of influence and engage teams and co-workers in efficient problem-solving conversations. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• For: Managers, teams, change agents, coaches, entrepreneurs, and anyone else whod like to systematically solve problems and move from where they are to where they need to be. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A3 Thinker is a versatile tool that can be used in conjunction with books or typical problem-solving classroom training. More importantly, it can help you well AFTER the "feel good" effect of the training has faded away and you face your most crucial problems in your workplace and personal life. A3 Thinkers critical thinking and Socratic questioning cards will help you eradicate problems, develop new and existing reports, facilitate and mentor.

My Bad

Stewill · 9 years ago · v1.1

My bad. I should have read more about the app. It is just a list of definitions. I got excited and thought is was a working app.

A great inspirational tool

mandrezak · 13 years ago · v1.0

It keeps you in line and focused. As long as you dont expect to be an A3 thinking master in no time ;)

Very useful app

Alexei Zheglov · 13 years ago · v1.0

I downloaded this app the day it was released and I was already using it at work the following day. A3 is a Lean technique for understanding situations and problems, finding the deep root causes, identifying and validating counter-measures. A3 Thinking is a method for improving capabilities of organizations on an ongoing basis by finding the right problems to solve and solving them systematically with the help of A3. Ive been using the A3 Thinker app in two different modes. In larger group meetings, when the goal is e.g. to grasp the current condition, identify and state the problem or do the five-whys analysis, I usually only glanced for time to time at my iPad to keep the conversation focused on the particular part of A3 that were working on. Before such meetings, I also flipped through the 65 cards to jog my memory. Card 19 about the problem scope was fresh in my memory during my very first meeting using this app and it saved the remaining half of the conversation. In smaller meetings (up to three people) or when working by myself, I looked at A3 Thinker more closely and reviewed the cards more often to improve the clarity of what was being added to the A3. My work this week included investigating a complex incident with A3 (so far, 22 people from five departments contributed to it) and were basically at a point where counter-measures are suggesting themselves. People are starting to appreciate the power of the A3 technique and the potential of the A3 Thinking method for organizational improvement. Helped by this A3 Thinker app.

Very handy tool to guide your team through problem-solving process quite smoothly. It takes some time to play with it before you go to the team, but its worth it.

Great for industrial engineers & managers

jcdiaztorres · 12 years ago

This app does help in the A3 development process. It offers the user a fair amount of information to work with.

Excellent!

Tesla-Mark · 11 years ago

this is a great tool that can be used as a checklist or reminder as you go thru the sections of the A3

Simplistic

Julie soriano · 11 years ago

I am disappointed. I found this simplistic and not much added value for the price than which could be found with an internet search.
