What is Problem Solving Training?
Problem Solving training is designed to help people identify causes and implement solutions to problems. It is also designed to encourage problem solving by problem prevention, on the premise that prevention is better than cure.
Problem solving techniques fall into two major categories: Analytical and Creative.
Analytical thinking is based upon breaking big problems down into their component parts and solving them step by step. Analytical thinking is scientific, logical and methodical.
Creative thinking is based upon solving problems by looking at things in a different way, or by redefining the terms by which the problem is perceived in order to arrive at an innovative, or imaginative solution to the problem.
Both types of problem solving are learnable. This course teaches both.

Problem Solving Training Course Overview
We start the course by defining the term “problem”, as the difference between the current state, and the desired state. Problem solving is the act of making your current state match your desired state.
The first and most important step in problem solving, is framing the problem. In health care they say, “Proper diagnosis is the first step to the cure”.
Then we focus on analytical problem-solving methods, such as problem-cause-solution mapping. Problem-implication-countermeasure analysis. We work examples and learn by experience.
In the afternoon, we change to Creative problem solving techniques. Sometimes this is called, thinking outside the box. This type of problem solving is about changing the way you perceive things, to change the nature of the problem. We show many examples of where, problems were transformed into opportunities. We show examples of how problems were solved by improvisation and creative thinking. We give opportunities to practice.
When people finish this course, they feel empowered because they know they have gained many tools, with which to solve their problems.
This course gives people confidence and courage.
