Exercise l (Lesson 9) Using the convergent tool "5 Ws and an H" - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How complete the following steps to identify data that will assist you in determining which direction you will need to follow in the CPS process. Define a problem or situation for which you need to develop a better understanding. List each of the "5 Ws and an H' n the format that best suits your learning style, then list one question in each part. Taking each category separately, generate responses to each question and write them under the appropriate question. Step1: What Where When Problen How Who Step 2 Scan your data for quantity and variety: if you are satisfied, move on to convergence; if not, generate more or different things in as many categories as you need.Explanation / Answer
The Five Ws and H are a tool used by all good journalists to proof read their articles and to make sure that after reading it the readers understand the What? The Why? the When, the Who? the How? the Where? the Who? of the matters and events discussed in the article.
The Five Ws and H are often used in the problem exploration phase of Creative Problem Solving (CPS), to give a good understanding of the challenge before the search begins for solutions in the Idea Generating Phase. Here are some variants on the questions to be asked:
What is the problem? What criteria will we use to decide that it has been solved or is no longer a problem?
Why is this a problem?
When (or by when) do we need to have solved it?
Who is responsible for this, who can be involved in this, who are the other people who may have the solution or an idea that can help us to find a response?
How will we evaluate which is the best solution if we come up with a number of alternatives? How will we implement whatever is needed?
Where will these solutions or creative responses be applicable? Where do we need to make them known? Where can extra resources, information, material be found
An example event could be a research investigation journalism investigating an event particularly a crime.
