Many people view a problem as a deviation from an expected outcome – results are wrong, procedures were faulty, or some other aspect of the project is not successful.
In the workplace, solving problems is not only addressing issues and problems as they arise but also involves looking at the way things are currently being done to find better ways of doing them. The major problem encountered in solving problems occurs when the root cause is not properly defined or identified. In the rush to finish a project, people often jump to conclusions and take action on the first solution that appears when most times there are multiple solutions. Determining the best solution requires a problem solving process.
|
|
Solving Workplace Problems provides an effective approach and the tools necessary for improving current processes that organizations use to solve organizational problems. Through structured activities, participants learn how to identify the problem, identify the cause, select the best solution, implement the solution, and determine what feedback and follow-up will be required.

Program Description
|
|
Solving Workplace Problems teaches managers a five-step process that combines a variety of methods to provide an effective approach to solving simple to complex organizational problems. Each step of the process is explained in detail. Participants have the opportunity to be involved in group discussions, apply the process learned using a case study, and finally apply the solution to their own problem. Managers leave the workshop with implementation tools, forms, and additional resources to help them apply the skills learned back on the job.
