1 Day Problem Solving & Business Development Course in Bury Manchester

One of the most powerful techniques for problem solving is to Focus on the Problem not the Solution...

Let me explain.

The best way to get a good solution is to have lots of solutions to choose from. Unfortunately, many people bring you a single solution disguised as the problem.
They may say “My problem is I need a kettle.” Only one solution provide a kettle.
If they had said “My problem is that I need to boil water” we could have provided many solutions.

We ran a problem solving course  for a successful  company in Hull. The Distribution Director ‘s opening statement was this  “My problem is I need a new warehouse “ You can see this is not his problem, it’s what he believes to be his single solution.

The result was a 42% increase in storage space, a 20% increase in efficiency and a saving of £2 million on the original solution of a new warehouse.

Next time a person comes to you with a problem, ask yourself has the this person given me the problem or have they given me what they believe to be the solution.
