Innovativesolutionists

Great solutionists are future-oriented, holistic, focused on long-term problem-solving, without ignorance of emergent trends.

Problem-solving is both art and science. It is about seeing a problem and actually finding a premium solution to that problem, not just the Band-Aid approach to fixing the symptom. The problem-solving practices will not be simple for many of today’s complex issues. Some or many solve certain problems in a certain area but create other problems in the other domains. 

Thus, it’s important to take a logical scenario for solving them interdisciplinarily. All digital leaders and professionals develop their reputation as a problem creator or a problem-solver.

Strategic solutionist: Problems do not exist in isolation but as an interdependent and interacting system of problems. Thus, business leaders or professionals need to capture unique insight and develop all necessary skills to diagnose the real issues, especially at the strategic level, identify solution options and which solution option is most aligned with the strategic goals. Strategic thinking is about keeping the end in mind. So a strategic solution is about engaging future trends, solving problems to make strategic impact and advancing organizations or societies from a long term perspective.

Many problems today are complex and interdependent with interactive pieces, interdependent components, and “conflict” goals. It’s important to set the right priority, and clarify: What solution options are available that will meet the business need and which option is the best option? Is it one solution or multiple solutions that will be required? Which solutions represent the best business value in terms of achievement of the business outcomes? Which option is the best option from a strategic perspective to solve a multi-set of problems? A good strategy is a premium solution that results in a formulated approach to deal with the chain of relevant problems effortlessly.

Innovative solutionist: One of the biggest challenges in this complex digital world is the fact that we need different perspectives, different knowledge and different ways to solve a problem. Creative problem-solving starts with creative communication and set alternative choices. Creativity in the "corporate" world has a lot to do with fostering a creative environment and tap the multitude of diversity to solve problems alternatively. To put simply, when you encounter a tough problem, often you need to solve it in a creative way by assessing what is your current situation and what is your fundamental choice.

Creativity is often the secret sauce for problem-solving. Leaders and professionals should encourage out of the box thinking, ask open questions to collect relevant information, think of alternatives, look for creative, cost-effective opportunities to develop cross-functional teams for solving problems alternatively; bring together people who would not typically have the opportunity to communicate in the day-to-day operations, recognize innovators who can bring up fresh ideas, and figure out alternative solutions.

Philosophical solutionist:
Philosophy can allow you to see the cause and effect thoroughly and help you see reasoning in action. Observations and conclusions in the field of philosophy may be acceptable or unacceptable to different people of different social and ethnic backgrounds. That means, there isn't always a right or wrong choice in any situation and there are a lot of grays in between. Philosophical lens is broader and deeper, as philosophy is the mother of science, it is methodical and has deliberate processes for identifying questions, reasoning, and thinking outside the box to diagnose the real problem and discover the truth holistically.

Philosophical problem-solvers abstract the quintessential from complexity, discover the root cause of problems. There isn't always a right or wrong choice in any situation and there are a lot of grays. Sometimes there is an obvious right or wrong solution to a problem which you have from your perspective. But when someone else looks at the problem from their perspective, they may come up with different ideas as to what is right or wrong. Philosophy not only allows you to reason the visible, but also perceives the invisible elements of the problem. Philosophy takes on problems of knowledge, but perhaps its greatest strength is in its ability to "solve" problems elsewhere; not only to solve the problems, but to dissolve them sometimes.

Problem-solving evolves both detail and the big picture, tolerating uncertainty and taking step-wise actions. Great solutionists are future-oriented, holistic, focused on long-term problem-solving, without ignorance of emergent trends. You can't always wait for the "best" solution to emerge. It is important to experiment, explore, engage, and create multiple pathways to solve problems smoothly, to make a smooth transition from pursuing the perfect solution which perhaps does not exist to making continuous adjustment and improvement.
