Three techniques for group problem solving

Հատված

When a group of employees is engaged with each other, the potential of the group skyrockets. Your employees will be able to accomplish more, come up with better ideas, and even walk away with higher morale. However, getting the group to work together in a productive way isn’t always easy.

For example, if you need your team to come up with a creative idea or a creative way to solve an existing problem, an unproductive session could unfold in a number of potential ways:

• Employees may not participate, resulting in more awkward silences than discussion.
• Employees may over-participate, resulting in a shouting match with no direction.
• Employees may discuss the problem, but without a vision toward actionable steps.
• The meeting may take too long, wasting everyone’s time and costing more money than it should.
