Abstract

Purpose The first part of this article identified a limitation in the range of options being considered by healthcare professionals when problem-solving or making decisions. Part two of the article builds upon this idea and describes a process where these limitations can be overcome through the use of multiple framing. Methodology/Approach Masters students, who are also healthcare managers, were asked to undertake multi-framed analyses of different decision-making scenarios. Practical Implications The exercise enabled the healthcare managers to recognise weaknesses of seeking solutions within a predominantly structural frame, to challenge this narrow application and to explore the benefits and utility of multiple framing. Originality/Value The development of a technique used to enable 'reframing' of problems, contexts and potential solutions is outlined. A strategy is proposed which firstly, enables the current management frames to be identified and secondly, adopts a multi-framing approach to problem-solving.
