Front Line Problem Solving

If you work in a business, a non-profit, a government agency or any kind of organisation you will need to solve problems of all shapes and sizes.

This book will instil in you a confidence to be able to see your way through the confusing number of problem solving methods available and choose the right one for the problem at hand. Each problem will have its own unique set of circumstances and conditions and each will require a unique approach.

Front Line Problem Solving is based on tried and tested methods that work in all situations. You will learn to;

• Stand back and apply critical thinking
• Correctly define the problem with a clear problem statement
• See the way forward before you start out
• Select the best method, tools and techniques for effective & efficient problem solving
• Identify and avoid the main pitfalls when problem solving
• Develop the characteristics of a world-class problem solver

I have over 25 years of experience in this field and I've also called on many respected problem solvers to help me give you a simple way of defining, analysing and solving all sorts of problems related to operations and functional settings.
