Why do SMEs need support with problem analysis in specific cases?

​

SMEs need support with problem analysis in specific cases because:

​​

• A new perspective or a paradigm shift is necessary to find solutions, since the original approach is what caused the problems in the first place. (see quote from Albert Einstein)

• It is not always immediately clear what the actual problem is when a certain “operational blindness” prevents the right questions from being asked.

• The necessary experience and skills may be lacking to pinpoint the problem precisely when it goes beyond the existing business model.

• Internal individual interests may, consciously or unconsciously, hinder the identification of the problem.

• Some problems (and especially their causes) can only be identified through targeted analysis (possibly using specially developed tools).
