Executive Summary

Corporate management in the United States is generally unaware it may be operating on the basis of inadequately and/or erroneously defined problems. When associated with important matters, that fundamental impediment frequently is the true cause of significant financial damage and lost opportunities. However, the otherwise hidden shortfall can quickly be overcome by access to and use of the proven effective Test Tubes of Paper^® problem analyses tool. The providing of that tool is what the TTOP workshop training program accomplishes. Positive results are immediate and long lasting. 

The Paper and the Test Tubes

The TTOP problem analyses activity includes having all input from the group being contemporaneously written on flip charts (the Paper) that are spread along the walls of the conference room for all to see. Inclusion of an extensive reality check and evaluation as part of the process represents a form of testing. The "Test Tubes" are therefore the paper.  

The Purpose of Knowledge is Prediction and the Purpose of Prediction Is Control

That's the key. The problem is how to insure the attainment of sufficient, accurate and timely knowledge. TTOP does the trick.
