    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.
