COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Solving problems and making decisions in a creative manner can be the key to more productive and effective employees and managers in any organization. Problem-solving and decision-making are not easy for most people. It is like a journey into the unknown requiring creativity, intuition and imagination, careful analysis, diagnosis, and step-by-step action planning. Creative Problem Solving and Decision Making is designed to enable participants to learn and apply concepts and techniques related to an integrated versatile approach to problem-solving resulting in better and more effective decisions.
Learn the tools and processes to find the right solutions to most/ any problem or situation.
Finding the Solution is a highly interactive and memorable training workshop. The participants will learn specific tools for solving problems by doing…by solving problems. They will learn how to find solutions using 4 steps:

Focusing – Define, prioritize, focus and analyze problems.
Idea Generating – Generating creative & useful ideas,
approaches and solutions
Decision Making – Making the best possible decision
Implementing – Ensure that solutions are implemented

They will learn the techniques that go with each step such as “gap analysis,” “random stimulation,” and “decision-making analysis”. They will develop awareness and understanding of the need to use a problem-solving process.
The focus of this training may be on group or individual problem solving and decision making or a mixture of both.
OBJECTIVES:
Participants will be able to…

Focus on the “true” problem
Establish accurate goals for problem-solving
Prioritize problems and decide which problems should get attention

Applying the Creative Problem Solving Process

The workshop is filled with tools that are recipes for solving most / any problem. We treat this book like any recipe book when creating a meal. In using a recipe book you pick and choose whatever recipes would suit your needs. Much in the same way, you could pick and choose the “recipes” in this book that are appropriate for the problem. The participants will learn which “recipes” to select under different circumstances.
These recipes are for “rational” problems (a problem as a result of a change) as well as for creative problems (a new situation or opportunity).

It is divided up into five sections:
The Stages and Tasks of Problem Solving
Targeting
Idea Generating
Decision Making
Implementing
