Resolution to Important Issues

Problem-solving is about seeing a problem and actually finding a solution to that problem, not just the band-aid approach to fix the symptom.

Things are complex, people are complex, businesses are complex, and the world as a whole is complex as well. It is always important to first seek to understand the complex problems before jumping into the scenario of how to fix them.

In complex problem-solving, hidden clues often play a crucial role in reaching a solution, especially when dealing with complex problems. These problems lack clear solution paths, requiring solvers to rely on insight and creative thinking to uncover hidden clues that can guide them toward a resolution.

Key Concepts in Uncovering Hidden Clues

-Divergent and Convergent Thinking: Problem-solving involves both divergent thinking, which generates a wide range of possible solutions, and convergent thinking, which narrows these possibilities to find the best answer. Hidden clues may emerge during the divergent phase as new perspectives and ideas are explored.

-Insight: Insight is a sudden and often unexpected understanding of a problem or strategy that contributes to its solution. It involves re-conceptualizing the problem in a new way, which can reveal hidden clues that were not initially apparent. Insights are typically the result of extensive prior thought and effort.

-Incubation: This process involves setting the problem aside temporarily, allowing the unconscious mind to process information. During incubation, hidden clues may surface as the mind continues to work on the problem in the background, often leading to breakthroughs when the problem is revisited.

-Discovering clues in Ill-Structured Problems: These problems do not have clear solution paths, making it challenging to identify the necessary steps for resolution. Hidden clues in such problems often require creative and flexible thinking to uncover, as they may not be immediately obvious or follow a linear path.

 Problem-solving is about seeing a problem and actually finding a solution to that problem, not just the band-aid approach to fix the symptom. By using these strategies, problem solvers can enhance their ability to identify and utilize hidden clues, facilitating the resolution of complex and ill-structured problems.
