ANALYSIS/PROBLEM ASSESSMENT - The ability to collect, analyze, and evaluate data in order to make sound and effective decisions or develop solutions to problems. • Imagine yourself in a situation where you thought you had successfully handled a difficult problem only to find that all you had done was affect a symptom of a larger problem. How would you go about trying to identify and solve the root cause of the problem? • If we’re lucky, we can sometimes identify a small problem and fix it before it becomes a major problem. Can you give us an example of a time you were able to identify a small problem before it became a big one? • Give us an example of a time you weren’t sure what an internal/external customer wanted. How did you handle this situation? What was the outcome? • If you found yourself in a situation where you were certain that the cause of a problem was one thing but your co-workers felt strongly that there was a different cause, how would you go about trying to solve the problem?
