Study Notes
Prescriptive Approach
- Prescriptive approach encourages effective problem-solving strategies within teams.
- Emphasizes structured methodologies for tackling issues systematically.
Problem Recognition, Definition, and Analysis
- Problems can differ in severity, familiarity, and complexity.
- More severe problems are likely recognized as obstacles hindering progress.
- Proper recognition and analysis are crucial for determining appropriate solutions.
Generating Alternatives and Selecting a Solution
- Teams generate multiple alternatives to address the identified problem.
- Evaluating the impacts of each alternative is essential, considering both positive and negative effects.
- Unexpected factors may lead to potential failure despite thorough analysis and solution development.
- Evaluation of solutions involves assessing implementation and outcomes, commonly referred to as process and outcome evaluation.
Implementation and Evaluation
- Upon resolving a problem, the overall situation may not improve significantly.
- Continuous evaluation is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the implemented solution and to understand its real-world impact.
