65 brainstorming cards

If you have ever tried writing an A3 report before, you know how difficult it can be. This app features 65 brainstorming cards with hundreds of questions designed to guide you in each step of the problem-solving sequence.

Move organisations forward, one problem at a time

Let’s be honest. In most organisations, people rarely take the time – or know how – to frame, analyze, and eradicate problems. A3 thinking is a wonderful approach to problem-solving and mentoring. An A3 report can be used to gain and share insights, guide and capture the story of a problem, expand the circle of influence and much more. With its focused questions, A3 Thinker will help you engage teams and co-workers in efficient problem-solving conversations.

Do you need a blank A3 Thinking template?

I always start from scratch with the cards, a blank sheet and a pencil.
A3 reports can be as different as the problems they capture. Sometimes you may want to put more emphasis on different sections and so you need some flexibility.
In any case, many love the convenience of a starting point, so I created a blank A3 Thinking report that you can download here:

Awesome app with great value!

Claudio has delivered a winner with his first app release. Packed with lots of great questions and information to assist towards problem-solving and gaining deep organizational insight. I love this app and it’s a must-have for anyone interested in developing themselves and others. 5 stars!

An essential tool

We’ve used Claudio’s A3 template quite a bit and every time, without fail, it lead us to epiphanies about actually is it that we’re talking about (that the problem isn’t this, it’s that). The systematic approach to posing challenging and direct questions, and taking the time to really explore that, meant the outputs of that exercise are meaningful.
