It would be solved with following steps:
1. Write dowm the problems
2. Convert the problems to questions. What? When? How? Who?
3. Find more answers to the questions
4. Final problem would be posed with solution exercising the above answers
1. State the problem in a sentence. A single sentence forces you to extract the main problem from a potentially complex situation. An example of a problem statement: “We need to increase revenue by 25%.”
2. Make the problem statement into a question. Turning the problem statement into a question opens the mind to possibilities: “How do we increase revenue by 25%?”
3. Restate the question in five ways. If you spin the question from a variety of perspectives, you’ll construct new questions that may provide intriguing answers.
For instance, try asking: “How could we increase revenue by 25% in a month?” “How could we increase it by 25% in an hour?” “How could we increase it by 25% in a minute?” “What could we stop doing that might cause a 25% revenue increase?” “What ways can we use our existing customer base to affect the increase?”
4. Give yourself thinking quotas. An arbitrary production quota gives you a better shot at coming up with something usable, because it keeps you thinking longer and with greater concentration.
When I asked you to “Restate the question five ways,” that was an example of an arbitrary quota. There’s nothing magical about five restatements. In fact, five is low. Ten, or even a hundred, would be far better.
5. Knock your questions. Whatever questions you’ve asked, assume they’re wrong-headed, or that you haven’t taken them far enough.
You might ask, “Why do we need an 25% increase at all? Why not a 5% increase? A 500% increase? A 5,000% increase? What other things in the business might need to change that would be as important as revenue?
6. Decide upon your new problem-solving question. Based on the thinking you’ve already done, this step may not even be necessary. Often, when you look at your situation from enough angles, solutions pop up without much more effort.
Thank you for the invitation.
Problems surface becauwe they are not solved at the right moment or time. they are solutions in disguise for actions to be taken in full.
Managers or leaders can solve problems when they are viewed with the facts infront of them and should not be taken lightly as this affects the performance of everyone. Employees will not be able to carry on as they find it difficult to work when problems exist and it can be within the team or with many deparments working under one leader.
Before a problem is posed, it is probably not been realised and/or as long as it is in that state it will not be resolved.
When the problem is realised and stated then there is a very good chance of it being solved because the problmem has been defined given the facts infront of the manager or leaders.
In terms of the stages involved and studying the facts, it leads to final resolution or solution to the problem. It then re-instates that it is a practical solution involing the right and efficient decisions taken with the expertise of the team or leader present.
hence problems are solutions in disguise just takes the right decisions to be taken or advice from a specialsied consultant eith the right expertise in the area of the problem.
There are no problems, but failures that have been found in the middle of some process, and should be studied and on top of the factor to develop a contingency plan together with all involved.
thanks
We have:
½ good problem = problem , and problem + ½ good problem = 0 ; solution is absolutely Unacceptable ; subtraction should be addressed to the original problem instead of multiplying it with the correct logic
Thanks for invitation,
Since the problem is "well posed", so it is still in need to come up with alternative solutions, in order to evaluate same, before choosing the best, and put it in process to solve the problem.
Thanks
I support my colleague Boualem's answer
Mohamed abdel mongy has covered it beautifully. tend to agree with him.
since it is half-solved, then there is no solution exist. otherwise, it is an ill-posed problem needing another recalculation. in my opinion it is still a well-posed problem as long the other half properties of the mathematical models are still there.
Hello The right way It does not matter how to ask the question because it will be the right solution by the official because it will lack the hardship in solving the problem as can how to highlight a new perspective, which represents a variable of variables affecting the problem or an alternative solution.....
