Managers insights, problem finding, analysis and problem solving

Mondo Workplace Updated on 2024-02-09

February**Dynamic Incentive Plan Course Background: The true meaning of management lies in finding and solving problems. In all aspects of enterprise operation and management, customers, quality, efficiency, safety, employee management and R&D processes are full of various problems. Broadly speaking, the enterprise management process (PDCA management cycle) is a process of discovering, sorting, analyzing, and solving problems. Every manager, even the operation level, has the responsibility to find problems and make continuous improvements. Management work must be aimed at the problem. If the problem is not solved, the manager is useless and worthless.

On the basis of absorbing the analysis and solutions of common problems, combined with the American leadership problem analysis model, this course transforms complex content into theories, tools and methods that are easy for ordinary people to accept, teaches you to find answers to problems with rigorous thinking, scientific methods, and systematic processes, and improve the effectiveness of work! Effectively help managers and business backbones improve their thinking and ability to analyze and solve problems!

2) What causes such a situation.

3) What dangers may be in this situation, and what kind of solution should I choose to deal with?

4) What can I do to reduce or avoid adverse effects?

Summary:

Don't be anxious when you encounter problems, the primary problem is subdivided first;

Ask the right questions to find facts, clarify problems and set a starting point;

Let go of intuitive experience first, don't blindly draw conclusions, and all judgments must be based; Scientific thinking, please keep in mind;

Decision-making analysis should be comprehensive, not blindly responding, set standards according to the purpose, and don't forget the risks;

The formulation of the plan should be foreseen, the risk issues should be considered early, the opportunities and benefits should not be ignored, and the prevention and control should be comprehensively upgraded.
