Gather Information: Collect all necessary data and perspectives to understand the root cause of the issue. 3. Develop a Plan: Create a clear, actionable plan to address the problem, including specific steps and timelines. 4. Communicate the Plan: Ensure all stakeholders are informed about the plan and their roles in its execution. 5. Implement the Plan: Take decisive action to resolve the issue, monitoring progress and making adjustments as needed. 6. Follow Up: After the issue is resolved, follow up to ensure it has been fully addressed and to prevent recurrence.
