Different Approaches to Problem Solving
Posted by Brody on August 24, 2009During any trial or court case, a Las Vegas lawyer will learn that creative thinking will serve to solve problems that may not be solved through logical consideration. A person skilled in adaption, of being able to see different situations in different, and perhaps unconventional ways, is one that will eventually be the most successful in business ventures.
Some challenges must be solved logically, court cases are often times all or nothing, but sometimes is is necessary to view certain circumstances as a give and take, and those able to understand the means best employable to serve a specific need, are those that one will want on their team, be it a marketing team, , a team of lawyers, a sales team, a Tour de France team, or a coed-parks and rec softball team. Problem solving is a skill that is required in everyday life, and one that is valuable in the corporate world.
This is an idea based on lateralization, of going at a situation with more than one plan in one’s pocket. This is best applied when one creates a diverse team, a team of people skilled in different ways. Some think of situations visually. Some think in terms of logic or mathematics…or in current times ethically and morally. It is best to have a combined group of people on any team, each with the same long term goal for any given project, and also each with creative ways, different ways of going about attaining that goal.
The best possible combination is that which combines the creative approach with the scientific approach. Even though each performs a different task, both a hammer and a nail are necessary in building a table. On top of that, so is it necessary to have a carpenter involved. No one element is the most important, each one is necessary for performing the tasks required to meet the end result. All ‘parts’ are necessary to create the whole.
