Hypothesis-driven approach for problem-solving in the context of global public health 

Overview

The hypothesis-driven approach is a problem-solving method that is necessary at WHO because the environment around us is changing rapidly. WHO needs a new way of problem-solving to process large amounts of information from different fields and deliver quick, tailored recommendations to meet the needs of Member States. The hypothesis-driven approach produces solutions quickly with continuous refinement throughout the research process. This approach originated from academic research and later adopted in management consulting. This course consists of 4 modules that take you through a step-by-step process of solving problems in an effective and timely manner:

Introduction to the hypothesis-driven approach to problem solving

Module 1: Identify the question

Module 2: Develop and validate the hypothesis

Module 3: Synthesis and recommendations
