Problem Solving PowerPoint PPT Content Modern Sample
139 slides include: teaching problem solving skills, evaluating how you solve problems, understanding the process: how to solve problems, 8 active listening techniques, primary issues for problem solvers, group or individual brainstorming, the problem solving framework, vertical and lateral thinking, adaptors and innovators as problem solvers, collaborative problem solving, leadership and creative work environments, four models of problem solving, SWOT, the 6 C's of decision making, how to's and more.
Designing with Empathy
Designing with Empathy can be used in formal and informal learning environments by combining Scratch and MaKey MaKey to build a game controller for a person with a physical impairment.
Creative thinking-vs-lateral-thinking
This document discusses the differences between creative thinking and lateral thinking. Creative thinking is defined as coming up with ideas that are novel and catch attention. Lateral thinking involves using available information and presenting it in an original way. Both creative and lateral thinking require logic and innovation to derive new ideas. Lateral thinking builds upon creative thinking by developing new perspectives from existing ideas. The document provides examples of techniques for each type of thinking.

The 5 most important questions
This is a presentation I gave based on Drucker's ideas of strategic development and assessment for organizations.
Appreciative Agile: Overturning the Problem Bias
This document discusses Appreciative Inquiry and how it can be applied to agile teams. Appreciative Inquiry is a philosophy and process that focuses on what works well rather than identifying problems. It involves asking positive, open-ended questions to discover strengths and imagine possibilities. The document outlines how Appreciative Inquiry uses a 5 D process (Define, Discover, Dream, Design, Destiny) and appreciative interviews to shift a group's mindset. It provides examples of reframing questions from a problem-focused to an appreciative lens and suggests adapting Appreciative Inquiry through appreciative retrospectives and visualizing desired outcomes.
Design Thinking Workshop STLinSTL
This document provides an overview of a design thinking workshop at STLinSTL in June 2015. It discusses design thinking as both a process and a way of thinking. The workshop aims to help participants identify their own biases about design thinking, perceived constraints to applying the process, and how design thinking can benefit students. It outlines the typical stages of the design thinking process - discovery, ideation, iteration, and evolution - and provides examples of how MICDS has implemented design thinking in different programs and classes.

Overall, the document promotes design thinking as a valuable framework for problem-solving and innovation in education.
Unit 1.pptx
introduction to design thinking
Understanding & solving a problem:: termed as Designing
• Problem understanding: process or activities for identifying undesirable situations and desirable situations.
• Problem solving: Developing a plan with the intent of changing undesirable situations to desirable situations
• Designing involves both problem understanding and problem solving
Agile is a method to solve predefined problems, while design thinking focuses on finding the right problems to solve.
While Agile is an approach to problem solving, design thinking is an approach to problem finding.
Together these two methods can transform your organization, and ensure every project delivers value to the business, your customers, and your own bottom-line.
Within the context of new product development(NPD), design thinking is very well suited to used in markets that are quickly changing and when user needs are uncertain.
When facing a complex challenge
When facing a human centered challenge
Prioritize features: Product managers work closely with engineers to estimate features, define requirements, and collaborate on a release plan based on the team’s capacity.
Release customer experiences: Regardless of the frequency, product managers are responsible for delivering a Complete Product Experience to customers. This involves working closely with engineering, IT, marketing, sales, and support to ensure organizational readiness.
Measure product success: Measures of success include customer engagement (such as time in product and returning users), conversion rates, and the frequency of feature updates.
Unleashing the Creative Potential of Your Teams
A talk by Tim Basadur and Ellen Moran PhD
Basadur Applied Innovation & Leadership Dialogues
Many companies are returning to a changed business context and need to quickly solve a range of new problems or reinvent their products and services. This is an exciting opportunity to innovate. Many fewer recognize that achieving these creative results efficiently requires an effective process, specific skills and tools, and the right blend of thinking styles working in sync with one another. When any of these are lacking, teams may struggle to innovate. To help leaders, business owners and HR professionals engage these challenges, Ellen Moran and Tim Basadur will provide an introduction to the Simplexity Method for Applied Innovation which is designed to enable teams and organizations to achieve innovative results quickly.
Session Outcomes:
• Discover the necessary elements for innovative results – The Innovative Results Equation • Learn the four creative problem-solving preferences of team members and how their way of interacting can be a facilitator or roadblock for team innovation. • Understand the four-stage innovation process to move teams through problem-finding, problem-defining, problem solving and solution implementation in a way that drives strong team alignment and commitment. • Leave with practical tools and frameworks that can immediately boost creative collaboration where you work.

Creating Culture Chemistry
This document discusses managing culture and the hidden dynamics that can make or break success. It highlights how a mismatch between a new hire's style and a company's culture can lead to problems over time. The solution involves becoming aware of personal and cultural "patterns", like motivation sources and criteria, to better understand disconnects and find ways to connect and influence the culture. Understanding criteria and patterns can help with decision making, communication, and achieving success within a role or organization.
Design thinking
This document provides an overview of design thinking, including its key elements and process. It defines design thinking as a human-centered, collaborative approach to problem solving that is creative, iterative, and practical. The key elements of design thinking are described as being people-centered, highly creative, hands-on, and iterative. Finally, the document outlines the five stages of the design thinking process: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test.
A Primer For Design Thinking For Business
Design thinking is a human-centered problem-solving methodology that involves 6 key stages: empathy, define the problem, ideate, prototype, test, and iterate. It is focused on understanding user needs through observation and collaboration.
