  1. The Stages of Problem-Solving Notes SYBCA – Heta Desai

  2. The Stages of Problem-Solving • The process of problem solving can be divided into several stages. This is done to make it easier to understand the steps in the process of problem solving. • To become a successful problem-solver, you need to understand the stages involved and follow them in sequential order whenever you have a problem.

  3. The graphic shows the stages of problem solving; demonstrating how each stage is connected. By methodically moving through each stage, you get closer to the goal of solving the problem.

  4. Stage 1: Define the Problem • Clearly state the problem • Identify what circumstances lead to the cause of the problem. • Write a clear definition of the problem and the barriers encountered.

  5. Stage 2 & 3: Find Possible Solutions to the Problem • Analyze the problem so you fully understand it and then develop ideas which will achieve your goal • Develop several ideas to solve the problem to increase your chances of finding the best solution to the problem.

  6. Stage 4 & 5: Choose the Best Solution to the Problem • This stage is a process of decision-making based on your comparing the possible outcomes of your alternative solutions; this is the “DO” stage • This stage involves: • Identifying all parts of the solution • Eliminating solutions that do not meet certain criteria • Evaluating the solutions against the desired outcomes • Assessing the risks associated with the “best” solution • Making a decision to implement the solution

  7. Stage 6: Implement the Solution • The process of implementing the solution occurs in 3 stages: • Planning and preparing to implement the solution • Taking the appropriate action and monitoring the effects • The process has to be monitored to make sure the solution is going smoothly • Any problems must be addressed quickly • Review the success of the action.

  8. Stage 7: Evaluate the Outcome of the Solution • Successful problem-solving involves looking at the outcome of the solution and making the necessary changes in the earlier stages if necessary in order to reach the identified goal.
