What are the common mistakes in problem solving?

1. Failure to ascertain the root cause of the problem is one of the most common issue.

2. Improper approach to analyse the situation or jumping to conclusion without maintaining the root cause. 

3. Failure to ascertain what is the real problem. Some times one problem can lead to several other secondary problems. If the situation is not analysed thoroughly, solution to a problem will not lead to desired result.

4. Failure to create a win-win situation in certain cases can cause grievence and lead to reduced productivity.

There can be a lot of other situation specific factors that can prove to be troublesome during a situation and render you problem solving techniques useless in that situation.    

Rushing to draw conclusions before carefully analysing the problem.

1. Taking actions without taking in consideration the side effect,

2. Focusing on the problem and forgetting the source,

3. Forgetting the other effects may occur in future,

4. Miscalculation the problem size

Mistakes do occur in the problem-solving cycle such as the following:

-Inability to identify the problem.

-Misdefining the problem.

-Not forming a strategy to solve the problem.

-Not organizing information adequately.

-Not allocating enough resources.

-Not monitoring the progress of problem-solving.

-Not evaluating the results properly.

Problem Solving might become a Problem later on , for the following common reasons :

# Consequences are not considered (Forecasting)

# Always treating the Problem from1 aspect .

1.       Impatient Listening

2.       Partially stating problems is problem never solved or sorted out. Because I mainly believe that PROBLEM WELL STATED IS PROBLEMPARTIALLY SOLVED.

3.       Blaming attitude

4.       Unacceptance of responsibility.

Trial and error rather than discovering root cause.

I Beleive The Most Common One is losing The Apility To Smile , He Feel So Angery Or Stressed So He Can't Smile And Relax To Think about A Solution ,.

I think the biggest one is being somewhat subjective rather than objective.

Organizations apply a variety of tools to solve problems, improve operations and increase

reliability many times without success.

Six common errors.

1. They focus on blame.

2. Conducting root-cause analysis, they focus on finding one “cause.”

3. They consider a problem description and problem analysis the same thing.

4. They start an investigation by trying to find the problem, instead of identifying an organization’s goals

5. They apply “buzzwords” instead of the basic technique of cause-and-effect.

6. They use select problem-solving tools for select circumstances.

Overcoming these errors involves knowing why they happen and how to prevent them. Armed with this knowledge, both employees and managers can improve problem-solving in any organization.

To hurry in finding a solution without defining the exact problem in details.
