Predict And Prevent Problems Instead Of Solving Them

Foresight allows you to look ahead and prevent problems before they develop, allowing you to address them proactively rather than reactively after they occur.

Stop seeing yourself as a problem solver and start seeing yourself as a problem predictor. Be prepared for what’s to come. 

React to world events as they happen, but be proactive and prevent them. Foresight is the ability to see potential problems to help you determine your future and stay ahead in work and life.

There are several problem-solving management systems available. However, using foresight tools like FMEA (Failure Modes And Effect Analysis) for identification and Poke-Yoke for prevention is simple and effective.

FMEA is a systematic, proactive method for evaluating a process to identify where and how it might fail. It then assesses the relative impact of these failures, ranking them in order of importance. This information can then determine appropriate actions to eliminate or mitigate the identified risks.

Poke-Yoke is a Japanese term that means “fail-safing” or “prevention of errors.” It is a quality control method that prevents mistakes from being made in the first place. Poke-Yoke devices are simple, often mechanical, devices that stop an error from occurring.

By using foresight to predict and prevent problems, you can save time and resources that would otherwise be spent on solving problems after they occur. Problem-solving is time-consuming for any business. Foresight saves time by predicting and preventing problems.

When you focus on problem-solving, you’re already behind the curve. Problem prevention is key to maintaining a proactive stance in your work and life. Be prepared for what’s to come by using foresight to predict and prevent problems.

Fortune does not always favor the bold. But, gaining insight allows people to recognize and seize opportunities—making them seem lucky.

People who make plans for the future and carry them out are more likely to succeed than those who leave everything up to chance.
