4. PART 1 - INTRODUCTION PROBLEM STATEMENT – one very brief sentence e.g., Raging conflict between to department heads SYMPTOMS – How was the problem manifest? Facts!!! e.g., Constant heated discussions in meetings… PROTAGONISTS – Who are the main people involved? Direct and indirect protagonists? E.g., Department heads (Direct) + Department members (Indirect)… NOTE: no specific order required NOTE: Be Factual!

5. PART 2 - ANALYSIS Cause(s) - ‘According to Frame 1, the causes of the problem are A and B… E.g., Structural Frame: Poor definition in terms of Horizontal Differentiation Integration Lack of adequate control mechanisms Lack of adequate coordination mechanisms Frame 1 Why? Theories, Concepts, Models… Use them to uncover causes of problem NOTE: Very explicitly stated! NOTE: Reference! Be Critical!

6. PART 2 - ANALYSIS Cause(s) - ‘According to Frame 2, the causes of the problem are C and D… E.g., Political Frame: Power struggles between protagonists? What kind of power accrues to each of the protagonists? How do these power bases balance? What kind of conflict? How can it be approached? Frame 2 Why?

8. PART 3 – OPTIONS AND EVALUATION ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS – ways to address the causes identified in Part 2 – very closely connected! e.g., Introduce new control and coordination mechanisms, redistribute power by firing one of the protagonists or by promoting one of them, … EVALUATION – Which identified options are the most promising and why? Can they be easily combined? NOTE: Solutions and recommendations might come from all 4 frames! NOTE: Use theory to support! NOTE: Reference! Be Critical!

9. PART 3 - CONCLUSION FINAL RECOMMENDATION(S) – Selected way forward CONCLUSING STATEMENT – What have we learned from this analysis? What are the limitations? NOTE: Solutions and recommendations might come from all 4 frames! NOTE: Use theory to support! NOTE: Reference! Be Critical!
