Programs for Municipalities
Problem Solving Does
it ever seem that you are swamped with challenges
that keep repeating themselves in spite of the
skilled job the administration and elected officials
do in solving them? Are you continually revising
processes, procedures, and ordinances to address
issues that were not considered when they were
first drafted? Chances are that time and constituent
demands are keeping you from identifying and defining
problems in ways that assure better quality solutions.
With tremendous demands on your time, there is
a probability that you are going with one of the
first solutions that seems to quickly address
the inadequately identified problem. The result
is solving the wrong problems with inadequately
developed solutions.
It is possible to create solutions to challenges that satisfy most of the people involved and bring lasting solutions. Creative problem solving is a learned discipline you can get better at all the time once you learn the basic skills. The little additional time this more productive approach takes is substantially made up for in the savings of time, energy, and upset caused by not developing successful solutions the first time.
Workshop Highlights:
- Identifying the real problem
- Finding effective solutions
- Choosing the best solution
- Implementing solutions so that they are lasting
