Course Overview
The ability to identify the real cause of problems at work and to make the appropriate decisions to solve them effectively is the fundamental excellence of every successful leader. For the untrained, dealing with problems can be similar to being lost. They don’t know where they are and this hinders the progress in organizations. A trained professional problem solver knows where he stands, what the real issues are, can analyze the true cause of the problem before any decisions or solutions can be proposed. Effective problem solving and decision-making processes that follow a logical, systematic, proven methodology helps people understand the business issues at hand and contain those issues fast before things get worse.
This course is designed to equip you with the ‘Best-Known-Methods’ of problem solving and making decision. It also encourages participants to use creative-thinking process in developing solutions and decision making to resolve the issue effectively. Other, less systematic attempts at problem solving run the risk of attempting to eliminate the symptoms associated with the problem rather than eliminating the problem at its cause.
Using proven ‘Best-Known’ problem solving and decision-making processes also helps project leaders to tap into the know-how of individuals and teams, to develop consensus, to gain commitment, and solve problems effectively. It enables everyone to be on the same wavelength, using a common standardize approach and language, and works towards the same goal, regardless of background or expertise.
Course Objective
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
Describe the step-by-step rational analysis & structured approach to effective problem solving.
Recognize the human side of problem solving and the vital role communication plays at each step
Distinguish between the causes and effects of problems
Make good decisions – individually & as a team
List down when, where and how to use the analytical techniques in each step
Practice solving problems as a team using real case studies
Use problem solving tools and apply best-known-method of problem solving and decision-making techniques on the job
Who Should Attend
