Summary:
Firstly, the problem is defined using Duncker Diagram and the root cause will be determined using 5 whys. Next,
validation of the current solutions will be done. After that, SCAMPER will be used to generate new solutions and lastly,
KT decisional analysis will be conducted to verify the viability of new solutions. Final solution is to seek medical attention
to control the symptoms of sneezing (which is the root cause of bullying), in which I had done previously later in
secondary school. Perhaps parents and teachers’ intervention can be minimized because forming a group of friends that
will help to protect myself from the bullies, plus bracing myself to have a clear standpoint will help in solving the
situation.
