In this TED talk, Dweck describes “two ways to think about a problem that’s slightly too hard for you to solve.” Operating in this space — just outside of your comfort zone — is the key to improving your performance. It's also the critical element to deliberate practice. People approach these problems with the two mindsets …. “Are you not smart enough to solve it …. or have you just not solved it yet.” Via David Hain

When you're stuck on a problem, it often helps to look at it from another perspective. This can be all that you need to do to come up with a great solution. However, it is sometimes difficult to think about what these perspectives might be.

“This is an approach to project design and development that our team has built collectively over the past two years. It draws inspiration from many existing models and tools, with our own innovations added as necessary. It’s not perfect, but it works pretty great for us and it’s a living process that we continue to improve based on emerging knowledge and experience.”

Problem solving is an important aspect for business and life. This skill is part of many jobs, ranging from computer programming, accounting, to detective work, and even normal life. It will be wonderful if you have an ability to solve all problems effectively and in a timely fashion without hassle, and difficulty. However, there is no single way in which all problems can be solved. Therefore, you need to know various ways as well as methods to cope and deal with each problem. “The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year.” said John Foster Dulles, Former US Secretary of State. Read on 11 simple yet effective tips given in this article to discover how you can improve your problem solving skills within days. Via Daniel Watson

Its advisable to also know solution focussed techniques - celebrate successes, know what you want to achieve, take small steps to get there, imagineer your desired future - to balance these steps as some groups can get drawn down into the problem and unable to get out.

With logic you start out with certain ingredients just as in playing chess you start out with given pieces. But what are those pieces? In most real life situations the pieces are not given, we just assume they are there. We assume certain perceptions, certain concepts and certain boundaries. Lateral thinking is concerned not with playing with the existing pieces but with seeking to change those very pieces. Lateral thinking is concerned with the perception part of thinking. This is where we organise the external world into the pieces we can then 'process'.

Thanks Gus-A healthy human brain does not want to always be creative, it is designed to figure out how to do things or how to think about things and then 'locks' that automatic response or behaviour into a subconscious process so that your conscious brain can focus on other matters.

Pensar de forma diferente...mirar mas allá de lo evidente... conduce a soluciones inesperadas a viejos problemas.

Lateral thinking is the art of looking at things sideways, and not choosing the obvious answer. When we think laterally, we look a little bit deeper into things. Lateral thinking makes new ideas posible If we are able to look at things differently, and make an unlikely connection, this will take us to a new way of problem solving, as suggested by O’Sullivan, 2008, “search as far outside the boundaries of convention as you can” (p.57). Lateral thinking leads us away from the rules and structure we normally encounter; this can be a mental block on our creativity.

Think of the most annoying problem of your typical workweek. Maybe it’s a recurring one, something that’s constantly causing headaches for you but for which there’s no immediate solution. So you just put up with it.
As Sara Kalick, VP and general manager at the consultancy SYPartners, sees it, that putting-up-with-it will increasingly spell death by a thousand paper cuts for companies in 2017 and beyond. "Transformation," she said at a Fast Company Innovation Festival workshop this morning, "is fundamentally human-led, not systems- or process-led." That means that how well people go about solving problems is the key question that every change-related effort needs to answer.
But the good news is that it may be simpler than you might think. Via The Learning Factor

It may seem shockingly simple in this age of high-tech solutions, but interacting with your fellow humans can make a big difference.

It's a natural reaction. Everyone does it. You hear a problem and you immediately want to prescribe a solution--the perfect antidote--a master plan that will solve everything. But all too often, you give into the temptation to define a solution well before the full problem is articulated and explored. You're not the only one. Leaders at all levels are guilty of doing this. They hear a problem--the outlines of danger--and they rush to offer their agenda. In their desire to be helpful, they end up setting others on a path that may be costly--not only in resources but also in time. There are a number of reasons why presenting a solution right away has downsides. For example: Via The Learning Factor
