Here are 6 out of 11 tips on problem solving skills. For more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/11-tips-on-problem-solving-skills/.
Being able to solve problems quickly and efficiently without hesitance or difficulties is every person’s dream. There is not a fixed formula to solve every problem in daily life or at work. However, there are skills that help us get out of difficult situations easily.
1. Indentify Your Problems
You need to admit that you are having problems before thinking about solutions to them. If you do not recognize the problems or if you try to ignore them, you will not be able to find a good way to handle them.
2. Analyze Problems
Analyzing problems thoroughly is one of the most helpful tips on problem solving skills. The process of analyzing determines the success in problem solving. It is important to know the main causes of the problems you have so that you can solve them from the root. Root cause analysis will show you how to get over your difficulty step by step.
You should also look over the effects caused by the problems you have, and decide what problem should be solved first.
3. Solve Important Problems First
Important problems are problems that can cause big effects on your life or work. You should try to figure them out and resolve them as soon as possible. No matter how hard they are, you should still keep working on them until they are completely solved. Do not hesitate to ask for help from other people around you if you cannot handle these serious cases on your own.
4. Generate Potential Solutions
You may think about some old solutions you have made or learnt from someone, but do not stick to them as they may not suit the problems you are having. You should also find out some new solutions that can best solve your issues. You can make a list of all the solutions you can find and determine how to carry them out.
5. Make Plans
After choosing the right solutions to your problems, you should prepare for carrying out those solutions by making a specific and detailed plan. You will be unable to perform solutions well when you do not really know where to start. The plan for carrying out solutions should be as specific and concrete as possible.
You should also prepare to face with things that may go wrong in the process of solving your problem. It is not easy to control everything at 100% success rate as unexpected thing may happen any time.
6. Carry Out Solutions
This step is the most important of your problem solving process. It is time you carry out the solutions you opt. You should try your best to do it step by step successfully. This is time to take action, so you should no longer worry if the solutions you choose are good or not, just focus on acting out, and see the outcomes. I believe that you will be successful after all.
Our ability to learn new ways to think is the power of human potential. We have to make choices about the types of thinking that we apply to a variety of different challenges. Critical Thinking is the act of examining a set of facts and analyzing and evaluating relevant information. We live in a knowledge based society, and the more critically you think the better your knowledge will be. Critical Thinking provides you with the skills to analyze and evaluate information so that you are able to obtain the greatest amount of knowledge from it. It provides the best chance of making the correct decision, and minimizes damages if a mistake does occur. Critical Thinking will lead to being a more rational and disciplined thinker. It will reduce your prejudice and bias, which will provide you a better understanding of your environment.
This workshop will provide you the skills to evaluate, identify, and distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information. It will lead you to be more productive in your career, and provide a great skill in your everyday life. Lastly, critical thinking skills will support your capacity to be innovative. Once you fully understand what it is, you can begin exploring what could be.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to answer the following questions:
a. What is critical thinking?
b. How can I use nonlinear thinking strategies?
c. What does it mean for me to apply logic to situations?
d. How do I know when, how, and why to think critically about a challenge?
e. What skills allow be to better evaluate facts and data?
f. How will thinking differently effect my decision outcomes?
g. How can I challenge my self to see alternate perspectives?
h. How can I increase my problem solving abilities?
Critical is the analysis of facts to form a judgement. The subject is complex and several definitions exist. It is the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical connection between ideas. Critical thinking helps to analyse what to do and what to believe.

CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
2.
3. In a recent study, CRITICAL THINKING was identified as one of the
most important skills needed
for job success, and
one that is lacking inthe new workforce.
“Are They Ready to Work? Employers Perspective on the Basic Knowledge and Applied Skills of New Entrants to the 21stCentury US Workforce” Conducted by The Conference Board, Partnership for 21stCentury Skills, Corporate Voices for Working Families, and Society for Human Resource Management

6. “Critical Thinking is reasonable reflectivethinking focused on deciding what to believe or do.”
“Critical Thinking is best understood as the ability of thinkers to take charge of their ownthinking.”
7. Think of going into the dressing room when you’re
shopping. How many times do you twist and twirl
in front of the three-sided mirror before deciding
whether or not to buy?
Critical Thinking is the three-sided mirror of
decision making; letting you look at all the angles
to make the best possible choice.
Another way of looking at it…
8. “With workplaces so complex and rapidly changing, combined with the recession, it’s important that newly hired employees have critical thinking skills.”
By Pearson’s TalentLensGroup
9. Like most skills, critical
thinking can be improved!
“Critical thinking is harder than people think,
because it requires knowledge.”
- Joanne Jacobs
“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is
probably the reason why so few engage in it.”
- Henry Ford

In the business world, we will always have problems that need to be solved.

A matter about which it is difficult to decide what to do.
But first…what exactly is a problem?
Any negative situation, issue, or matter that is unresolved.

2

•Attempt to get to the very root cause
•Use your inner child; keep asking “why?”

•Choose the best solution based on what is most practical
