  The Stages ofProblem-Solving
• 2.
   In previous class discussion, a problem was defined as a situation the causes uncertainty and difficulty in achieving what you want to achieve.  This presentation will outline the Stages of Problem-solving.
• 3.
   The process of problem solving can be divided into several stages. This is done to make it easier to understand the steps in the process of problem solving.  To become a successful problem-solver, you need to understand the stages involved and follow them in sequential order whenever you have a problem.

  The graphic showsthe stages of problem solving; demonstrating how each stage is connected. By methodically moving through each stage, you get closer to the goal of solving the problem.
• 5.
   Clearly state the problem  Identify what circumstances lead to the cause of the problem.  Write a clear definition of the problem and the barriers encountered.
• 6.
   Analyze the problem so you fully understand it and then develop ideas which will achieve your goal  Develop several ideas to solve the problem to increase your chances of finding the best solution to the problem.
• 7.
   This stage is a process of decision-making based on your comparing the possible outcomes of your alternative solutions; this is the “DO” stage  This stage involves: ◦ Identifying all parts of the solution ◦ Eliminating solutions that do not meet certain criteria ◦ Evaluating the solutions against the desired outcomes ◦ Assessing the risks associated with the “best” solution ◦ Making a decision to implement the solution
• 8.
   The process of implementing the solution occurs in 3 stages: ◦ Planning and preparing to implement the solution ◦ Taking the appropriate action and monitoring the effects  The process has to be monitored to make sure the solution is going smoothly  Any problems must be addressed quickly ◦ Review the success of the action.

   Successful problem-solving involves looking at the outcome of the solution and making the necessary changes in the earlier stages if necessary in order to reach the identified goal.
