Problem-Solving Strategies

The reason some officers have resisted implementing problem-solving strategies is because problem solving has a dual focus. According to the course text, the first focus, is that it requires incidents to be linked to problems. The second focus, is time devoted to “preventive” patrol is required to be spent proactively, which determines problems in the community and their causes (Miller, Hess, & Orthmann, 2014). Although problem-solving is ideal, unfortunately officers cannot ignore specific incidents. For example, when call come in, officer respond as quickly as possible. In addition, even if officers respond to incidents, seek symptoms of problem, or both, the public can help or hinder their efforts (Miller, Hess, & Orthmann, 2014).

You and I are alike when it comes to the personal problem-solving process. I believe that I tend to over think things, because of my personality. One of my personal characteristics is being nice. I like to consider all, who are involved within the problem-solving process. This is because I try to be overly compassionate when dealing with other people, so much so that it sometimes creates problems for me. I have realized that there has to be a balance between how I feel and the decisions that I make, in which all affect the end result(s)/outcome.

The lack of responses from proposals I sent to universities for advertising was initially disconcerting. Clients’ informed me that “July/August is our main vacation period, and most people will not be available” (Roth 2015, np). The response I have received from other university personnel can be categorized into one of three categories: 1. They did not wish to advertise, 2. Process were too high and/ or out of their budget, 3. And some inquired about when the deadline was for which they cab respond to. In the instances where university personnel were interested in advertising placement, I promptly returned correspondence with details on the advertising

After one 24-year old employee with eight years’ experience in at Nick’s Pub and Pizza was able to fix the problems by talking to the staff, it was obvious that the input of the eomplyees could be enormously helpful to fix the situation. Therefore, one possible solution would be to fire the management and put together a management that consists of elected representatives of the different areas in the restaurant such as kitchen, bartenders, servers etc. That solution would provide input from every single area at the restaurant, less costs for management, more effective costs control and restaurant leaders that actually know that Nick’s Pub and Pizza is supposed to be about. Another thing about this solution would be the opportunity to slightly raise salaries of the employees. That would become possible due to the disappearance of actual managers who normally make more money than the actual employees. Of course, the elected leaders should get a slightly bigger salary raise than the “normal” staff members. This

Organizations and its employees have to make decisions and solve problems on a daily basis. URS (An AECOM Company) Federal Services provides program management and technical services to the US Government, and engineering design, planning, and construction services for public and private businesses. URS also provides technology test and evaluation (T&E) support, with the US Military as one of its largest customers (URS, 2015). The T&E group serves as an independent evaluator for new and emerging technologies. As part of the T&E services, URS conducts technology assessments and provides the government with an unbiased report on the technology’s functional capabilities at the conclusion of the assessment period. The report is used to assist the government with its decision on whether or not to purchase the technology. The purpose of this paper is to discuss an organizational challenge that was encountered by URS while supporting its government customer and the company’s approach to solving the problem, and the outcome.

The work of managers, of scientists, of engineers, of lawyers--the work that steers the course of society and its economic and governmental organizations--is largely work of making decisions and solving problems. It is work of choosing issues that require attention, setting goals, finding or designing suitable courses of action, and evaluating and choosing among alternative actions. The first three of these activities--fixing agendas, setting goals, and designing actions--are usually called problem solving; the last, evaluating and choosing, is usually called decision making. Nothing is more important for the well-being of society than that this work be performed effectively, that we address successfully the many problems requiring

Before a plan is even in its preliminary stage, we must actually understand the problem. This is arguably the most important stage of solving an issue as failure to do so could result in the wrong issue being solved, as exampled in the “read it through several times” substage. Therefore these steps are meticulously followed to give the most personally accurate understanding of the problem at hand as possible. To reiterate before the process is followed, this method was published by Paul Vickers

In Shawshank case study: There are some problems in Shawshank prison. After reading the proposal we found some problems like Exploitation of prisoners, Guards Frequently Beating Prisoners, The warden forces the guards and the prisoners to do what he wants, Prisoners are unable to adapt to life on the outside after release. To find out the problems as well as to suggest better solutions to these problems occurred in the Shawshank prison, we used some of the problem finding methods to find out the problem and management theories to suggest appropriate solution to those problems. To use those theories first we made the discussion about 1) problems and 2) what we have to do to solve the problems. We used the following theories.

Problem solving is the art of finding novel ideas to solve new or preexisting problems. According to Kolb’s problem solving model, there are four analytical stages: situation analysis, problem analysis, solution analysis and implementation analysis. When solving problems, you can inadvertently develop counterproductive steps in problem solving, if you do not maintain the correct focus. Based on my workplace, the counterproductive steps I identified include: not asking for participation in difficult decisions, continuing along an unsuccessful path, ignoring the downfalls of problems, defensiveness to information gathering and expecting others to accept an unsolved problem that has an unexplored viable solution (288).

1.1. A problem is a question or situation looking for a concept or a solution. It can affect a person’s or organisation’s performance depending on how they perceive the problem, either as an opportunity or a threat.
