$12.00

The Problem Solving & Decision Making Profile has been designed to be a self-scoring effectiveness instrument that helps you understand more about your relative skills in these areas, and gives you a picture of your overall ability in problem solving and decision making. This will help you determine where to target your development activities in order to improve your problem solving and decision making skills.

Description

Every day you face a multitude of decisions that have to be made and problems that need to be solved. These can range from simple issues such as deciding what you are going to have for lunch, or working out how to use the features on your new mobile phone, through to complex matters with potentially serious consequences.

Regardless of the issue, there are a number of requirements that are common. These include the need to:

  • Accurately identify the issue or problem
  • select and apply tools to generate possible solutions
  • make a decision and/or take action
  • The ability to take these steps effectively requires seven key skills, which are:
  • Critical thinking
  • Data gathering & processing
  • Tool selection
  • Lateral conceptualisation
  • Weighing alternatives
  • Risk assessment
  • Perception & judgement

Although primarily intended as a self-assessment instrument, the questions have been worded so this tool can also be used in a 180 or 360-degree feedback process where several respondents complete a profile on the same person.

Other helpful resources in this area include the Problem Solving Skills Storyboard and the Problem Solving Skill Builder Booklet.
