Module seven solving the problem. After a constructive discussion of the problem as well as review of available options, it's now time to go about solving the problem. solving a problem lessons, it's a threat aspect making less than anger trigger. In this module, we will discuss elements of solving the problem. Particularly, we would discuss choosing a solution, making a plan and getting it done. Choosing a solution, you've already identified possible solutions to a problem.
The next thing to do is how to narrow the list down to the best. The following are some criteria you can use when choosing solutions, costs and benefits. An ideal solution is one that has the least cost and most benefits. disagreeing parties interests. An ideal solution has factored in the impact on all parties concerned and has made adjustments accordingly. foresight an ideal solution doesn't have to Short term gains but long term ones as well.
Obstacles an ideal solution has anticipated all possible obstacles and its implementation and has made plans accordingly. values. An ideal solution is one that is consistent with the mission vision of the organization and or its individual members. Making a plan, you've already picked the solution for your problem. Now it's time to create a plan for its implementation. The following are some guidelines when making a plan.
Number one, keep your goals central to your plan. Every solution has a goal. The goal is the specific and measurable change that you want to achieve by implementing your solution. When you make a plan, make sure that all the steps and processes you outline are moving towards this goal. Remember to break down your action plan into concrete steps. A good plan is concrete instead of abstract, specific instead of generic, think of the different steps that you need to do In order to get your ultimate goal and plan along those milestones, note the deliverable per milestone, indicate the timeline for each milestone, identify the people responsible for each task.
Number three, note all the resources you would need. There are two kinds of resources human and material. Make a list of all human and material resources that you need to execute the action and make sure that they are all available. If they are not available at an extra action plan to procure them. You want to make sure that your plan is realistic given your resources. Number four plan how the solution would be evaluated.
A good plan doesn't just include the steps to execute the program. It should also include mechanisms for monitoring progress and evaluating results. And evaluation plan ensures that needs for plan revision can be surfaced. getting it done. An issue in contention will remain a hot issue unless the plan is implemented. It is only when concrete change can be observed that anger can be seriously addressed.
The following are some tips and implementing a solution. Number one, stick to your plan. Note the what, where, when and who have your plan and follow it to the letter. This will keep your end of the bargain explicit and easy to monitor and evaluate. deviating from the plan can result in additional anger, especially if you deviated in areas important to the other party. Number to monitor progress and results.
Keep track of whether or not your solution is accomplishing the goal. Make sure that you put everything on paper for ready reference later blogged on best practices, risks and obstacles encountered. Number three, reward and revise accordingly. If the solution is working, no progress and affirm the success. This gives the two parties a sense of accomplishment. More so the next time they have a conflict it can serve as testament to their ability to solve a problem.
If the solution is not working, gather feedback surface the reason why the solution does not seem to be working make the necessary changes so that you can revise the plan as needed.
