Refining Solutions Paper PHL/458 03 September 2012 * Refining Solutions * Refining solutions is the final step used in creative problem solving. During the refinement process, the creative thinker is required to work out the details that surround the issue, by checking for imperfections, and comparing the solution against other possible solutions (Ruggiero, 2009). When the thinker arrives at a solution, and has worked through the solution’s imperfections the creative thinker should consider what changes the solution will cause and how the solution affects other people. In week three of the creative minds and critical thinking class, given through University of Phoenix, I completed an assignment that addressed solving a …show more content…
The solution may cause inconvenience by adjusting my employer’s expectations. At first, the implementation may take some time for others to adjust to, but the solution will create greater efficiency in the office. The solution will only require available resources to implement and will not require any further expenses. The plan is simple and to the point. Initially, the plan may cause some discomfort to fellow employees. The solution manifests in the form of a thought and cannot physically break. My fellow employees will understand the necessity for the plan. The plans compatibility is reliant on all employees understanding the plans origin, and accepting the decision from my employer. The third step in solution in the refinement process is to compare solutions (Ruggiero, 2009). As stated in the first paragraph I have chosen my first solution, which involves me solving the problem and not relying on others to present solutions, as would be the case if I self referred to a medical professional. Another refinement step is to consider the changes that my solution will cause (Ruggiero, 2009). My solution will force my coworkers to increase their workloads. The last refinement step is to visualize the effects of my solution on other people (Ruggiero, 2009). The effect on others will be an increase workload as stated in the last step and will cause my employer to build confidence in the other employees. * * Using refinement to adjust the
Implementing change among all organizations is necessary to achieve success; within the health care industry change is constant and it is the role of management teams to assess, plan, implement and evaluate change to ensure satisfaction. Considering this among the other aspects of running a successful organization it is essential to ensure that there is minimal resistance and familiarity to change. Demands of the consumers and staff as well as regulations are continuously changing. The responsibility of managers is to successfully lead these inevitable changes.
2. To introduce students to the process of problem identification and potential solution analysis that will be used in case discussions throughout the semester.
What problems or difficulties do you anticipate with implementation of this type of decision support solution?
Assessment of Problem: Clearly describe the problem in your work unit and your plan to solve the problem.
Choose from the list of problem scenarios below. Using the steps involved in problem solving that were discussed in this chapter, describe how you would go about solving this problem.
Because the case is nondirected, students have ample opportunity to be creative in their solution approaches. Thus, it is impossible to provide a single solution here that applies to every student’s work. As a starting point in evaluating students’ solutions, we provide a solution based on the questions in the online Case Questions section. However, this solution is merely a starting point, and student work should be graded at least as much on thought processes, assumptions used, creativity, and the ability to
G. Design an effective solution to your most critical issue, justified with insights from your cultural analysis in F. Explain how your solution will make the achievement of the goal (see p. 1) possible. Explain how it will be handled by each key player and why the solution will be accepted by them (use conclusions from your cultural analysis described above to justify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed solution).
How might you use the strategies for applying creativity to problems and issues in addressing this topic?
3. Address each potential variable in the implementation process that could impact your endeavors related to this issue.
Challenges are all around us. Sometimes we face easy challenges and other times we face difficult challenges. In order to solve a problem, regardless of its level of difficulty, one must think critically and creatively in order to develop a satisfactory solution. As we try to solve the problems of our daily lives, it is important to examine any and all ideas. From the most mundane to the most radical, it is a healthy activity to express all ideas and do the filtering later. This paper will attempt to discuss and solve a problem I have some personal experience with. “It is one thing to have thinking skills and quite another to use them in everyday situations”
The basics of this method focus on problem-solving and short-term application. As Ford and Postle (1998, pg 52) suggest
For this written assignment, I will imagine that I am on a team in my workplace and have identified a new best practice to implement. I will describe the steps of implementing this practice and research about how change comes about in the workplace. I will check policies and procedures in my workplace and may need to speak to a supervisor who has experience in this area. I will provide literature and support on why this change needs to occur. I will provide references on this material and a conclusion.
Provide an action plan for the implementation and communication of the solution. Your action plan should include actions, timescales and required
The second step, sort out information that is not needed provided clarity during times in which the process seemed overwhelming. This called for a potential solution, a desired outcome and how to get there. The research that had initially been part of the formulating method had sparked an interest in the military. This idea was supported by the benefits that outweighed
When you have open and honest communication in your company, it will remove any ambiguity and allow your employees to trust the plan, trust the process and most importantly trust the
