Diagnosis of the situation

Situation diagnosis is a structured identification of facts, context, causes and possible courses of action.

Definition

Situation diagnosis organizes what is known, what is missing and what needs to be checked. In practice, it combines observation of facts, analysis of causes, identification of stakeholders, limitations, risks and available resources. A good diagnosis does not end with a description of the problem; prepares the ground for decision and action.

Practice and life

Make a diagnosis card: facts, hypotheses, missing data, main constraints, resources and next step. Don't mix facts with interpretations.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to diagnose a situation solely by the emotions of the moment. A common mistake is to ignore data that does not fit the first hypothesis.
