Oksana's team needs to redesign a logo because it is too similar to another company. What kind of meeting would they need to schedule?

• A. A status update meeting
• B. A problem-solving meeting
• C. A brainstorming meeting
• D. A decision-making meeting

Answer: (B)

When a situation involves addressing a concrete problem and finding a solution, the meeting should focus on solving that issue. Here, the logo being too similar to another company creates a problem that needs a plan to resolve—likely by exploring design options, evaluating constraints, and deciding on a route to differentiate the brand. A problem-solving session brings the team together to diagnose why the similarity exists, brainstorm viable redesign options, assess feasibility (timeline, brand guidelines, budget, legal considerations), and outline the concrete steps to implement the change. This differs from a status update meeting, which is about reporting progress; a brainstorming meeting, while useful for generating ideas, isn’t anchored in solving a specific problem; and a decision-making meeting, though important after options are on the table, should follow once the problem-solving phase has produced workable solutions.
