Gathering of data refers to the process of
collecting information or facts related to
a particular subject or purpose. It is
about systematically acquiring information
to track progress, assess achievements
and enhance one’s skills or knowledge within
a chosen field or industry.

15. How do you gather data in problem solving?
Collect and organize data
• The next step is to gather relevant
data that can help you understand the
problem and its causes. Data can come
from various sources, such as surveys,
interviews, observations, experiments,
documents, or databases.

16. 3. Formulation of
alternative solution & how
to deal with the problems

17. Formulation of solutions involves
brainstorming and creating multiple possible
approaches to tackle a problem.
1. Clearly define the issue or challenge.
2. Generate multiple ideas without judging
them initially. Encourage creativity and
diverse perspective.
3. Assess each solution’s pros and cons.
Consider the resources needed and potential
outcomes.

18. Make the subject more engaging by
incorporating hands on activities,

29. Select the best possible
solution
IN SELECTING
THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION At this point,
you can decide on the best solution by
eliminating those that do not meet your
criteria.

30. Steps in selecting
solution
First step: eliminate unsuitable options by passing
them through a screening process. In this process
we need to identify if the solutions meet all the
necessary and sufficient conditions, and if they
are feasible or not.
last step: compare remaining solutions to figure
out which should be implemented.

31. Understand the
Problem:*
Before implementing a solution, make sure
you have a clear understanding of the
problem. Define the problem, gather
relevant information, and identify its root
causes.

32. Evaluate and Select:*
Assess each potential solution for its
feasibility, effectiveness, and potential
risks. Consider the resources, time, and
constraints involved. Choose the solution
that appears to be the most promising.

33. Implement the Solution
Put the plan into action. Execute the steps
as outlined in your action plan. Ensure that
all team members or stakeholders are
aware of their roles and responsibilities.

34. Monitor Progress:*
Continuously monitor the implementation
process. Keep track of milestones and
progress to ensure that everything is
proceeding according to the plan. Make
adjustments as needed.

35. Evaluate the Outcome:*
After the solution has been fully
implemented, evaluate the results. Have the
initial problem and its root causes been
resolved? Assess the overall effectiveness
of the chosen solution.

36. Communicate Results
Share the results of the problem-solving
process with relevant stakeholders.
Transparency in reporting the outcomes,
whether successful or not, is essential for
organizational learning and improvement

37. Reflect and Learn
Take time to reflect on the entire problem-
solving process. Identify what worked well
and what could be improved. Use this
knowledge to enhance your problem-solving
skills for future challenges

38. Things to remember
Remember that successful
problem solving often involves a
combination of critical thinking,
collaboration, adaptability, and
a willingness to learn from both
successes and failures. It’s a
process, and continuous
improvement is key.
