Challenges new and previously unexplored need current solutions.
A need to consider new options.
Re-make what you’ve done before.
In order for organizations to grow and thrive, they need to meet the current climate of problems facing them with new ideas and just because this is the way that you’ve always done things, may not apply anymore.
The worst thing to do is throw your hands up in the air and quit.
Sometimes the largest barrier to change and improvement is old outdated policies.
Time to look at the most famous micro organization, but most important foundation of any society, the family. Rules and policies are constantly changing.
With the children.
How late you can stay up.
What television programs you can watch.
What foods you can eat.
When you can walk to school alone.
When you can begin dating.
When you can drive.
All of the above rules tend to change with age.
Part of the reason that organizations are resistant to change is worrying about the unknown. This policy worked before so why change it now? Answer? The world is not the same as it was before.
Try and erase “worry” from your problem solving methodology.
The team at psychologytoday.com shares, “In the anxiety literature, worry is defined as a repetitive pattern of negative thinking about unresolved and threatening issues that could end badly.”
Good point.
One of the best problem solving teams was the crew on the fictional television series, Star Trek The Next Generation. One of the reasons they had to keep coming up with new ideas to solve problems was because, as they traversed the stars, the planets and groups they encountered were new to them.
A great problem solving unit, right here on earth is the television series, simply titled, FBI.
Of the three FBI franchise series, we like this one the best because they appear to face new and extremely challenging problems with fierce deadlines.
FBI is an American crime drama television series created by Dick Wolf and Craig Turk that airs on CBS, where it premiered on September 25, 2018.
The series features an ensemble cast including Missy Peregrym, Zeeko Zaki, Jeremy Sisto, Ebonée Noel, Sela Ward, Alana de la Garza, John Boyd and Katherine Renee Turner.
The series centers on inner workings of the New York City field office criminal division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect, and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe.
Expansive.
Impressive.
That was television. In terms of problem solving, let’s walk over to the bookstore.
People Solve Problems: The Power of Every Person, Every Day, Every Problem Paperback – October 26, 2021
By Jamie Flinchbaugh (Author)
“Every person in every function of every organization is involved in solving problems. They show up in your email inbox, in meetings, in your own work. They are strategic and tactical, mundane and breakthrough, easy and difficult. Most organizations want to, and need to, improve their people’s problem-solving efforts, and so they offer them tools, templates, and training. Yet this is not where the leverage for impact is found. People Solve Problems: The Power of Every Person, Every Day, Every Problem explores the real leverage to improve your problem solving.
In the first section of the book, we explore the problem with problem solving, including both the value and limits of tools and templates. We also explore the marriage of problem solving and standards. Building on that start, People Solve Problems is built on four primary domains. After setting up the challenge, we start by exploring People-Centered Capabilities. These capabilities are tool agnostic, equally applicable to any chosen problem-solving method or no method at all. This includes a wide range of capabilities from creating problem statements to integrating intuition into problem solving. Next, we cover Problem-Solving Culture. These chapters outline the culture needed in the organization or the personal behaviors you must master to be successful in problem solving. The behaviors explored range from deliberately learning through problem solving to building transparency, vulnerability, and trust.
In the third section, we dive into Success through Coaching. Problem solving is unlike other practices, training is incredibly insufficient, and coaching is the major driver of success. This section addresses the why, who, when, where, and of course the important how of coaching. Finally, we explore the Role of the Leader, whether the CEO or a team leader, in building an environment where problem solving can thrive. The leader must be the architect of their problem-solving systems, a shaper of culture, and a framer of problems.
Problem-solving effectiveness is critical to success for both the problems you already know about and those you have not yet experienced. People Solve Problems will you help you, and those you lead, to be more effective now and in the future.”
Very extensive and well structured. Seems like a great read.
One more.
