II. Introduction/Orientation

Problem-solving and decision-making. Ask anyone in the workplace if these activities are
part of their day and they answer 'Yes!' But how many of us have had training in problem-
solving? We know it's a critical element of our work, but do we know how to do it effectively?
People tend to do three things when faced with a problem: they get afraid or
uncomfortable and wish it would go away; they feel that they have to come up with an
answer and it has to be the right answer; and they look for someone to blame. Being faced
with a problem becomes a problem. And that's a problem because, in fact, there are always
going to be problems!
There are two reasons why we tend to see a problem as a problem: it has to be solved and
we're not sure how to find the best solution, and there will probably be conflicts about what
the best solution is. Most of us tend to be "conflict-averse". We don't feel comfortable dealing
with conflict and we tend to have the feeling that something bad is going to happen. The goal
of a good problem-solving process is to make us and our organization more "conflict-friendly"
and "conflict-competent".
There are two important things to remember about problems and conflicts: they happen
all the time and they are opportunities to improve the system and the relationships. They are
actually providing us with information that we can use to fix what needs fixing and do a
better job. Looked at in this way, we can almost begin to welcome problems! (Well, almost.)
Because people are born problem solvers, the biggest challenge is to overcome the
tendency to immediately come up with a solution. Let me say that again. The most common
mistake in problem solving is trying to find a solution right away. That's a mistake because it
tries to put the solution at the beginning of the process, when what we need is a solution at
the end of the process.
