Real life problem solving
Solving tough problems elegantly by End State Analysis
Working backwards approach often solves a problem quickly
Usually when we face a problem involving a sequence of events, we start with our first decision regarding the first event we see in front of us, then take the second decision and the next and thus move towards the solution event after event. Many a time though we need to start our analysis from the end event and work backwards to the beginning event...
Pattern recognition and use in real life problem solving
Patterns form the basis of comprehension and action for all living things in nature. Patterns are all around us - from human fingerprints, zebra crossings, warm current flows in oceans to the beautiful arrangement of a rose bud. A baby starts to recognize the objects around it, learns how to react on events or how to speak - all by identifying patterns. As we grow up, pattern recognition and its use remains to be one of the most valuable components in our problem solving ability set...
Zero based problem solving
Principle of Interleaving for solving real life problems
360 degree analysis approach for solving daily life problems
The Decision Analyst or DA has to look at the problem from all angles rather than from his own point of view. This goes a long way in proper problem modeling and solution, satisfying the need of all stakeholders. Application of this principle becomes very useful in Complex Project management, Conflict resolution, Negotiation and Counseling among other such problems...
Solving real life Multi-Criteria Decision Making problems using Criteria Analysis Technique
MCDM in real life problem solving is important as in many situations of real life problems, you would have to evaluate many criteria for making a decision.
The problem solving Principle of Exhaustivity
Exhaustive approach: MECE principle in Real life problem solving means, you need to be 100% thorough in considering possibilities that also do not overlap.
Systematic analytical approach to Efficient Real life problem solving
Instead of solving just by instinct and common sense, adopt a systematic analytical approach to solving a real life problem that is uncertain and vague.
