The "Reframe-Explore-Evaluate" method is a structured approach to problem-solving that helps you develop a systematic and creative process. It involves three key steps: Reframing the problem to define it clearly and challenge assumptions, getting to the root of the issue and identifying key goals and objectives. Exploring potential solutions by generating a wide range of ideas, considering different scenarios and outcomes, and thinking outside the box. Evaluating each potential solution against your goals and objectives, considering pros and cons, risks and benefits, and feasibility, effectiveness, and potential impact to choose the best option. By following this method, you can approach problems in a more methodical and innovative way, leading to better solutions and outcomes. #ProblemSolving #CriticalThinking #Creativity #DecisionMaking #Productivity #Efficiency #Innovation #Strategy #SuccessTips #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment

🛠️ Problem-solving is essential for overcoming challenges and achieving goals. Always remember we never get stopped by the problems, we only get stuck when we feel we don't have the relevant solutions. 🧐 Simple ways to be a Solution Seeker: 1️⃣ Define the Problem Clearly: 🙇 Ensure you understand the problem before seeking solutions. 2️⃣ Break It Down: 🧩 Divide complex problems into smaller, manageable parts. 3️⃣ Brainstorm Solutions: 💡Generate a list of possible solutions without judgment. 4️⃣ Evaluate and Implement: 📝 Choose the best solution and put it into action, then review its effectiveness. 🤔 What’s your go-to problem-solving strategy?

Counterintuitively, it's critical thinking that allows ideas to become better: 1) We always spontaneously generate many different ideas for how to improve something. 2) We then select the good ones from the bad ones 3) That selection is done through critical thinking (finding the flaws in the bad ones and reject them) 4) It is in that selection process that actual progress (idea improvement) is made (not not in step 1) #CriticalThinking #Ideas #Progress #problemsolving

Business is complex. You need to simplify as much as possible and know where your killer problems arise. Do your best to address them and prepare alternatives.

"If there is no problem, a solution has no value." It's easy to forget this truth. Especially in business and life. We often seek solutions without clearly defining the problem. But here's the thing: Problems give solutions their value. Embrace the challenges you face. They are opportunities in disguise.

So thinking is not just a process, it's a superpower, especially when it comes to problem-solving. It opens the floodgates of creativity. It's the spark that ignites innovative solutions to even the most complex challenges. Every problem is a hidden opportunity waiting to be discovered. Through thoughtful analysis, we unveil these possibilities and turn them into reality. Thinking exercises our minds like nothing else. It's the mental gym where we build resilience, agility, and a skill of finding elegant solutions. The beauty of thought lies in its ability to connect unrelated dots. It's the bridge between ideas, paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries. When we think together, magic happens. Collaborative thinking multiplies our brainpower, leading to solutions that transcend individual capabilities. So, why do I love thinking? Because it's not just a tool, it's a mindset that propels us forward, transforms challenges into achievements, and shapes the future we aspire to create. Let's keep thinking, exploring, and innovating together! #PowerOfThought #ProblemSolving #Innovation

🔄 Inversion Thinking: Looking at Problems from a New Angle Sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is to consider the opposite perspective. Inversion thinking means asking, 'What could go wrong?' or 'How could we make this problem worse?' This can uncover hidden obstacles and highlight solutions you might not have otherwise considered. At Veraxis, inversion thinking helps us to anticipate risks and develop strategies that prevent potential pitfalls for our clients. A small mindset shift can reveal big insights. For example - Examining edge cases in a service blueprint forces you to look beyond the happy path and consider less-than-ideal situations. We go one step further and actively brainstorm ways a process could break down rather than simply planning for low-probability scenarios. This may seem unnecessarily time-consuming but the benefit is it allows you to design solutions or safeguards that account for realistic yet disruptive scenarios and create a more resilient blueprint.
