Creative Problem Solving Training
A problem is any situation that requires changing. A solution is the future situation you desire over the present one. Thus problem solving is a process by which we seek alternative futures - solution options. In every problem, there are usually a set of worthy and valid solutions. Often by systematically asking a series of simple questions, we can discern the root causes of a problem. Once this is accomplished, then we ask another set of questions to identify any number of solution options.
