When faced with a conundrum, the first step is to clearly define the problem. Be it the intricacies of committee politics or the complexities of office supplies, start by pinning down the issue.
Collect data from all stakeholders: committee members, office staff, and the occasional lost puppy that wandered into the meeting room. Analyze the gathered information, searching for patterns, connections, and that one guy who always eats the last donut.
Divide the problem into smaller, more manageable pieces. Like a puzzle, or a well-organized spreadsheet. This will help you see the conundrum for what it is: a collection of smaller, less intimidating problems.

A conundrum is a problem, puzzle, or enigma that is difficult to solve. It's like a puzzle with a million pieces, but you're not sure where the box is.

Once you have the pieces, it's time to present them. Clearly explain the problem, the process, and the proposed solution. Make sure to use a presentation style that's as engaging as a conundrum itself.
