The document discusses several design thinking tools and techniques for framing problems, including statement starters, abstraction laddering, and stakeholder mapping. Statement starters involve reframing problem statements as questions to invite broader exploration. Abstraction laddering is a technique to reconsider problem statements by broadening or narrowing the focus through asking "why" or "how" questions. Stakeholder mapping diagrams the network of people with a stake in the system to guide research and build understanding.

- 15. Innovation Journey Abstraction Laddering • Identify an initial problem statement. • Make a laddering worksheet (rungs as blank spaces). • Write your initial statement on the middle rung. • Explore various options for revising the statement. • Move up the ladder by asking Why? • Consider the options (broader than the initial one). • Move down the ladder by asking How? • Consider the options (narrower than the initial one). • Discuss and decide which option to use for ideation.
- 17. Innovation Journey Abstraction Laddering- Helpful Hints • Consider the use of Statement Starters to reframe. • Take a quick poll to help decide which option is best. • In the end, the initial statement might be the best.
