To evaluate follow-up effectiveness after solving a problem, what is an appropriate step?

• A. Immediate escalation
• B. Establish a timetable for follow-up
• C. Increase training
• D. Praise improvement

Answer: (B)

After solving a problem, the essential step is to set a timetable for follow-up. Scheduling specific check-ins creates a clear plan to verify whether the changes actually deliver lasting improvement. It provides a defined period to observe outcomes, detect any recurrence of the issue, and gather data to decide if the solution needs adjustment or if further action is required. Without this planned follow-up, improvements can fade or slip back, and you’d miss important feedback. Immediate escalation focuses on urgent response rather than measured evaluation. Increasing training targets capability but doesn’t by itself confirm whether the current fix works over time. Praising improvement is encouraging, but without follow-up data you can’t be sure the positive change is durable.
