The Goal:
Make strategic decisions and solve problems.
The Tool:
Some decisions are good, some are brilliant, and some are a pure disasters. Most of the tough decisions we face are not simple but are complex and full of uncertainty. We need to:
- Identify the real problem.
- Clearly understand the goals and objectives.
- Develop unique and compelling alternatives.
- Discover what is important.
- Adequately deal with uncertainty and ambiguity.
- Make appropriate trade-offs of risk and value.
- Provide the clarity to act with confidence.
In addition, we need to develop the ability to apply Creative Thinking and Creative Problem-Solving techniques to re-arrange, re-formulate, re-pattern, mix, merge and construct already known and new ‘thought forms’ in different combinations and to your benefit.
“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” – Albert Einstein
