Originating from the Toyota Production System, the 5 Whys method is elegantly simple yet profoundly effective. It involves repeatedly asking "why" to delve deeper into the underlying causes of an issue. By asking this question five times (or more), teams can peel away layers of symptoms to reveal the core problem at the heart of a challenge.
