Problem Solving


As they say, “Don’t come to me with problems, come with  solutions”. One of the much appreciated skill for Individual in the Corporate World is the Problem Solving skill. Following are steps that I recommend towards solving problems
1)      Don’t Panic :
This is easier said than done nevertheless the most important requirement. Meditate…Follow your breath movement as you inhale and exhale for at least for 2 minutes
2)      Break down the bigger problem into smaller problems :
 If the problem is too big or complex, chunk into smaller problems to a proportion that can be handled
3)      Brainstorm for all the solutions:
Jot down all the possible solutions.Don’t worry about the feasibility yet. This step should be continued even during the solve phase
4)      Solve each smaller problem one at a time:
Based on the brainstorming, solve each of the sub-problems
5)      Integrate the solutions of smaller problem to solve the bigger problem:
Finally integrate the solutions of the sub-problem to solve
