Whenever people are faced with different kinds of problems, it is very crucial to think of
means of addressing them and preventing those circumstances from happening again.
But solutions are greatly influenced by the manner in which one defines the problem
and adopts a solution based on his/her own understanding. There are basically two
different perspectives in addressing the problem.

1. Analytical thinking- is a kind of logical thinking that addresses the problems or


issues by breaking it into its component parts. It uses scientific methods of
research and adopts frameworks or models to solve the problems. Managers,
especially those running big companies or projects, tend to use this thinking
strategy to pursue changes in directing plans and goals.
2. 2. Intuitive thinking is the kind of thinking that helps one understand reality by
perception or intuition without logic or analysis. It derived its confidence from
experiences. There are no analytical steps or methods but based its action from
observed indicators in the organizational environment. It allows individual to
develop his own mode of solution in addressing strategic issues. Intuitive
approaches are personal and custom-made. It sometimes derived a problem-
based solution that is not quite easy to share and at times too difficult to copy or
adapt. Managers utilized the power of persuasion to get people agree rather
than the logical sense of coming up with an action.

Charles Parselle, founding partner of Centers for Excellence in Dispute Resolution -


CEDRS.COM , presented his comparison of the components of Analytical and
Intuitive thinking

A. Identifying the problems and the issues surrounding them.
