Problem Solving Program

急著解決的事不難。 不急、但沒有頭緒的重大問題才考驗你如何使用邏輯與智力。 讀完本書，你會驚訝發現自己的思考有多易受限，判斷又多可能出錯！ 這本書不僅是要學習解決問題，更重要的是拓展思維。 它已協助許多大學生在專精領域之外，發展出如何處理問題的通才技能。 策略思考的問題解決能力是許多專業人士認為必要的技能，但卻不會出現在學校教育的專科課程裡。就連部分STEM（科學理工）學系出身的人，也往往缺乏這種「通才」的重要技能；他們往往無法釐清思緒、研究執行，甚而無法向工作團隊以簡明的語言「推銷」解決問題的方案。 原因是什麼？因為他們很少受過正式以問題分析並進行策略思考的系統性訓練。 擔任過企業諮詢顧問、並在大學任教的本書作者謝瓦里耶，將在這本書中由朋友的狗「哈利」走失開始，帶領讀者走過一趟完整的問題解決思考訓練，在書中，這樣的問題即是複雜（complex）、定義模糊（ill-defined）、非迫切（nonimmediate）的問題（簡稱為CIDNI問題） CIDNI問題在生活中並不是時時會出現──但這樣的問題往往正是考驗我們對問題解決的思考能力。對於這樣的問題，我們可以經由本書規劃的四大步驟及其工具進行探索與分析： 「找到你需要解決的問題」（What）。面對不熟悉的新狀況時，我們應先釐清真正的問題所在。我們時常以為對情況瞭若指掌，急著尋找解決辦法，但後來往往只會發現自己鎖定了錯的問題。 瞭解為何會遇到這個問題（Why）。釐清問題之後，接著是找出原因。學著從本書的「問題診斷分析圖」，將問題分解成不同面向，一次列舉所有可能肇因，再逐一檢驗假設後得出結論。 找出解決問題的可行方案（How）。明瞭問題癥結與原因後，主動尋找解決辦法。「解決方案分析圖」 能引導決策生成，從可能的解決辦法中挑選最理想的選項。 實際執行解決方案（Do）。要實際執行解決辦法，首要之務就是說服重要關係人，讓他們相信我們的結論正確無誤，本書最後會討論執行解決問題行動的考量事項，尤其著重於如何有效領導團隊。 現實中的難題沒有特定領域或形態，被教導著重特定領域的深度非壞事，但可能忽略了事情的廣度。「他山之石，可以攻錯。」培養有廣度的思維，是通才基礎，本書是結合了多種領域理論與實證的工具組合，以深入淺出的文字詳盡解說，正可提供一個廣泛適用的架構與必備工具，協助你更了解問題解決的思考之道。
