Improve Problem-solving and Decision-making

There are 4 ways to improve problem-solving and decision-making

i) realising that every situation is different and requires a different response for success

ii) specialised professional and technical training is too narrow to handle many complex challenges, ie

"...Linear and reductionist methods are notably inappropriate......many......problems are a combination of several different types. The components must be identified before appropriate approaches can be chosen..."

Bob Dick, 2021a

iii) multi-disciplinary and holistic approaches are required, ie no one person has the breadth of expertise to reach a resolution in many complex issues

iv) importance of 'emotional intelligence", ie so-called 'soft skills' (people handling skills - for more detail, see elsewhere in the knowledge base)
