Learning Objective

  • To analyze why problem-solving efforts sometimes fail.
  • To recognize that creative thinking is a mindset supported by clear principles.
  • To discuss the new problem-solving tools to enhance the thinking of any problem-solving team.
  • To inspect an effective problem-solving team.
  • To quantify the benefits of the problem-solving and improvement work carried out.

Course Overview

This CPE Business Management Webinar will help problem solvers think about the issues they face in different ways.

We can easily get into a rut in our problem solving using the same tools over and over and producing predictable answers. This CPE course introduces new problem-solving tools to help you think about problems in new ways and, hopefully, develop new solutions which will address a problem more thoroughly than previously. 

The problem-solving tools introduced in this course are grouped into four categories:

  • New Thinking for when you want to think about things differently
  • New People for when you want to freshen up the mindsets of the people you’re working with
  • New Resources for when you want a new technique to try
  • And Counter intuition for when taking a non-conformist view might bring new ideas

In this CPE Course, Speaker Ross Maynard introduced 11 new problem-solving tools that are designed to help enhance the thinking of any problem-solving team, particularly if they want a change from the ‘usual’ tools.
