Trainer: Yuri Feng
Topic 1 Scope problem solving process
• A critical thinking approach to identifying complex issues

Topic 2 Lead solution development process


• A critical thinking approach to resolving complex issues

Topic 3 Refine solution for implementation


• A critical thinking approach to making and reviewing decisions
We all make decisions and solve problems each day –
in both our personal lives and workplaces. Some
decisions are quick and easy to make. Perhaps the
problem or issue you encounter is a familiar one that
has a tried and tested solution. However, often times
the solution to your issue is not straight forward and its
resolution requires more than your intuition.
Some decisions you make are critical, whereas others
are non-critical. Before we continue, it’s helpful to fully
understand the difference between the two.

Class activity:

Are there any complex issues or problems in


your workplace or place of study?
Interview This method uses a formal or informal interview process to obtain information about a
workplace issue (such as how a product is used). It asks relevant questions to relevant
stakeholders and documents the answers.

Survey This method can obtain information anonymously from a wide group of people in a relatively
short period of time. It asks targeted questions to understand or identify issues (e.g. How can
our business improve?).

Observation This method uses deliberate observation of the issue (e.g. service delivery) on an operational
level. Existing processes are usually mapped to provide realistic and practical insight to how
the issue is being played out in reality.

Existing information This method uses research to access existing information (such as market analysis) about
products, services, processes or procedures.
Performance review Workplaces need timely, accurate and constructive feedback in order to succeed. A
performance review where a manager provides formal feedback to an employee. You may be
in a position at work where you are required to give feedback. Each organisation will have
their own policies and procedures related to monitoring work performance.

Self-evaluation This method allows you to evaluate your own performance and establish strengths,
weaknesses and any areas required improvement or training.
