Goals
-
Problems involve setting out to achieve some objective or desired state of affairs and can include avoiding a situation or event.
Everybody can benefit from having good problem solving skills as we all encounter problems on a daily basis. Some of these problems are obviously more severe or complex than others.
-
Barriers
If there were no barriers in the way of achieving a goal, then there would be no problem. Problem solving involves overcoming the barriers or obstacles that prevent the immediate achievement of goals.
Problem Identification
This stage involves: detecting and recognising that there is a problem; identifying the nature of the problem; defining the problem.
Making a Decision
This stage involves careful analysis of the different possible courses of action and then selecting the best solution for implementation.
Monitoring Feedback
The last stage is about reviewing the outcomes of problem solving over a period of time, including seeking feedback as to the success of the outcomes of the chosen solution.

Structuring the Problem
This stage involves: a period of observation, careful inspection, fact-finding and developing a clear picture of the problem.
