CPD StandardsInstant confirmationGlobal presenceIn just about any industry or any role, we are almost constantly involved in solving problem. It is what makes humanity progress forward by constantly searching for better solutions to common problems or new solutions to new problems as our societies become more complex.
As the problems have become more complex, the need to solve problems in a group has increased. Groups now contain a variety of experts looking at a problem in relation to their own respective domains. This course is ideal for groups of people who aim to solve problems collectively together. Solving problems as a group has its own unique issues. For example, some people like to dominate a meeting with their ideas at the expense of other less talkative members. This could be because of their character or a political agenda. This can lead to suboptimal solutions. Without a good thinking system a group may never come across novel ideas and even if it does, theidea might quickly be put aside, criticised or ridiculed.
Today, there are many powerful group-based problem solving and brainstorming techniques that can be used to increase creativity and productivity.
Course Objectives
- Apply a structured thinking system to solving problems as a group
- Draw on the expertise of every member, not just the loudest voices
- Prevent dominant characters or political agendas derailing the discussion
- Avoid the suboptimal solutions that unstructured groups settle for
- Tackle complex problems that no single expert can solve alone
Who Should Attend?
Teams and cross-functional groups of experts who solve problems collectively, and the managers or facilitators who lead those sessions and want better than suboptimal outcomes.
Course Outline
- Why complex problems demand group problem solving
- The unique pitfalls of solving problems collectively
- Dominant voices, quiet members and political agendas
- A thinking system for structured group work
- Combining expert perspectives across domains
- Reaching better solutions than any individual could
