A 3-step process for solving complex problems of any kind: Frame,
Ideate, Decide. Solvable offers practical tools that are both
evidence-based and presented in an accessible and visual way to
help you improve all aspects of problem solving at work and home.
Whether you are a student or a working professional, you can
benefit from being better at solving the complex problems that come
up in your life. Strategic Thinking in Complex Problem Solving
provides a general framework and the necessary tools to help you do
so. Based on his groundbreaking course at Rice University, engineer
and former strategy consultant Arnaud Chevallier provides practical
ways to develop problem solving skills, such as investigating
complex questions with issue maps, using logic to promote
creativity, leveraging analogical thinking to approach unfamiliar
problems, and managing diverse groups to foster innovation. This
book breaks down the resolution process into four steps: 1) frame
the problem (identifying what needs to be done), 2) diagnose it
(identifying why there is a problem, or why it hasn't been solved
yet), 3) identify and select potential solutions (identifying how
to solve the problem), and 4) implement and monitor the solution
(resolving the problem, the 'do'). For each of these four steps -
the what, why, how, and do - this book explains techniques that
promotes success and demonstrates how to apply them on a case study
and in additional examples. The featured case study guides you
through the resolution process, illustrates how these concepts
apply, and creates a concrete image to facilitate recollection.
Strategic Thinking in Complex Problem Solving is a tool kit that
integrates knowledge based on both theoretical and empirical
evidence from many disciplines, and explains it in accessible
terms. As the book guides you through the various stages of solving
complex problems, it also provides useful templates so that you can
easily apply these approaches to your own personal projects. With
this book, you don't just learn about problem solving, but how to
actually do it.
