Innovative, Critical & Analytical Thinking (ICAT) Professional Effectiveness for Senior Management

INTRODUCTION

If we accept a problem as a gap between a current and a desired state, then problem solving can be defined as the process of making something into what we want it to be. That is, when we solve a problem, we transform “what is” into “what should be.” In today’s fast-changing world, environment doesn’t provide the luxury of waiting for serendipity, even for the most skilled minds. Rather, organizations need a way to search systematically for solutions.
