Problem Solving<\/p>\n

Four Types of Problems<\/p>\n

When faced with a problem, many business leaders and teams mechanically reach for a familiar problem-solving methodology. The problem is that the methods are often mismatched with the problem, creating unnecessary struggle, frustration, delay, and ineffectiveness in solving the problem — if it is ever solved at all.\r\n\r\nIn Four Types of Problems: from reactive troubleshooting to creative innovation<\/em>\u00a0veteran lean management practitioner Art Smalley, explains why settling on a favorite problem-solving technique or two is a mistake. He shows that most business problems fall into four main categories, each requiring different thought processes, management cadences, and improvement methods.<\/p>
