Problem Solving & Decision
Making
We solve problems and
make decisions everyday/all the day:
at home, at work, at play, even at the grocery store!
Some problems and
decisions are very challenging, and require a lot of thought,
emotion, and research. The steps of this guide are designed to help
you make good decisions. Good luck!
Flexibility
This procedure looks as
if one moves neatly from step to step. This isn't the case. These
steps simply provide a structure for working on the problem. They
overlap, and you may have to return to earlier steps or work them
simultaneously as you find the best solution.
Examples of
flexibility:
-
Information gathering
occurs in all steps—from recognition of the problem to
implementation of its solution
-
New information may
force you to redefine the problem
-
Alternatives may be
unworkable, and you'll have to find new ones
-
Some steps may be
combined or abbreviated
