A problem solving technique shows a step by step sure way to solve a problem. It is a less abstract and more realistic way towards solving a problem.
A few examples of problem solving techniques are:
Not all the techniques are very novel and innovative. For example, problem breakdown technique is a natural way to solve large problems that many of you have applied.
Among these though a few deserves special mention.
We consider domain mapping technique as one of the most powerful broad-scoped problem solving techniques that can be applied to achieve highly unexpected positive results.
These are all general problem solving techniques to be used in daily lives. Apart from these solving math problems or brain teasers constantly require discovery and application of new problem solving techniques.
As you may guess, there may be a very large number of problem solving techniques that are just waiting to be discovered and used in a given problem situation.
This uncertainty gives rise to the main foundation of problem solving.
Discovery and use of a new problem solving technique PRIMARILY DEPENDS ON KEY PATTERN IDENTIFICATION AND CREATION OF A NEW METHOD.
True, how little do we know! No I am not talking about the subject of our individual expertise area. I am just observing a fact that being for example an out and out academician when you face the problem of commenting on the price of a prime old property you may feel totally at sea...
How to face a world around you that has suddenly become very difficult for you was always a great problem. You have to simply change yourself.
End analysis technique of problem solving often produces startlingly lucid solutions to math problems, brain teasers and even real life problems.
A delusion is a belief which is not true in reality. Usually delusions are of negative kind. Sometimes though we may have delusions that are good to have. These are positive delusions. If we identify our positive and negative delusions and critically analyze...
Thinking of sharing is not enough—we need to understand the mechanism and roles of sharing in solving pressing problems local or global.
A special process that you have used for fast and effective recall of a piece of knowledge forms a powerful technique for solving memorization and recall type of problem situations. Such a process uses indexed memory and needs extreme summarization as a capability...
Use of a special problem solving rule-set and experience based deductive reasoning sometimes help in solving a tough and baffling real life problem of fault diagnosis type. In any fault diagnosis environment such rule-sets can be formed and used with great benefits...
Solve tough problems quickly by End State Analysis technique. Study the possible end results and choose the one with maximum similarity with the starting point.
Usually we take the first decision on the first event we see, then take the next and so on. But, working backwards technique often solves a problem quickly.
Logic analysis primarily deals with yes/no variables or questions. The core concept of this approach of limiting the number of final possible outcomes to only two makes this world of yes/no a certain world. Though attractive, logic analysis by itself is of little use in real world problem solving, as most of the parameters and criteria in real world problem solving have inherent subjectivity in them. But we may use logic analysis together with other problem solving resources and deductive reasoning to solve complex problems systematically...
