What is Problem Solving?
Problem solving is the process of identifying issues, determining their root causes, developing potential solutions, and implementing these solutions effectively.
It involves several key steps: defining the problem, generating alternatives, selecting the best solution, and implementing the solution while continuously evaluating its effectiveness.
Key Elements of Problem Solving
Root Cause Analysis: This is a critical step where we dig deep to identify the fundamental causes of a problem, rather than just addressing its symptoms. Techniques such as the "5 Whys" and Fishbone Diagram are commonly used to uncover root causes.
Problem Reframing: Often, problems need to be viewed from different perspectives to find the most effective solution. Reframing helps in understanding the problem in new ways, which can lead to innovative solutions.
Problem Statement Development: A clear and concise problem statement is essential. It defines the issue in a way that is specific and actionable, providing a solid foundation for developing solutions.
