We're faced with problems every day and make hundreds of decisions without even noticing.  Some problems are straight forward, while others have no easy answers.  Although some of us struggle and procrastinate, problem solving and decision making are skills that everyone can learn and improve.  Using a structure can help you to understand the important problems to solve, to generate creative solutions, to clarify your decision-making criteria and make decisions objectively, to create action plans that make a difference and follow up to ensure the problem stays solved. 


This workshop will guide you through the 6-step problem solving process - defining the problem, analysing potential causes, identifying possible solutions, selecting the best solution, developing an action plan and Implementing the solution and evaluating progress.
