Three Useful Problem Solving Techniques

My three favorite problem solving methods from a very big guide on 30+ Problem Solving Techniques:

Root Cause Analysis Using 'The Five Whys'
This is also known as the Toyota method, which five whys to get to the root cause of an issue, each of the whys resulting on the answer given to the previous 'why'.

What would (insert name of your idol/famous figure) do?
How would Warren Buffet solve this business problem, for example?

Working backwards
A visualization technique. See yourself having solved the problem and people are reaping the benefits. How did that happen? What did you do? Write it down, backwards - 'I must have...then I must have...'
