Different managers and experts have been coming up with their own problem solving skills. It is inevitable because that is mankind's nature---to improve what is already widely used norms and practices.
Practically, all problem solving skills and practices are derived from the most basic problem solving processes most popularly known in the academe as the scientific approach.
It could be inferred that Science in general, regardless of specific branch or discipline, has forced men to come up with a systematic approach to problem solving.
Thus, the scientific approach to problem solving, being the basic process, is very potent and effective in putting solutions to every challenges, especially in business.
Scientific approach
As refresher, it would help a lot if you would be reoriented to these scientific problem solving steps:
1. Know the problem.
2. Gather pertinent data and information regarding that problem or issue.
3. Formulate/ Devise a hypothesis. This will serve as a guide that would give direction to your problem-solving effort.
4. Test and do activities and tasks that would help you prove the validity of your scientific guess.
5. Make a striking and practical conclusion. It follows that when you arrive to this stage, the solution to your problem is already established.
After doing the steps, you could now solve the problem more effectively. Encountering the same problem again in the future would never be a problem.
