“Effective Problem Solving” webinar set for Sept. 9th

August 30, 2010 By ei2admin

Here’s something you definitely don’t want to miss. It’s the Enterprise Innovation Institute’s Business Excellence webinar on Thursday, September 9, from 9:00 am until 10:00 am. You can tune in from the comfort of your own office or home.   No travel needed!   The topic will be “Effective Problem Solving – Life’s Most Important Skill.”

Problem solving is a truly fundamental competency and arguably life’s most important skill. It applies to every organization in every environment, regardless of the type of product or service provided.  Despite the necessity for problem solving, most people have no idea how to go about it in a methodical and effective way.  This webinar will provide a comprehensive framework for problem solving, from defining the problem to determining causes, and from taking action to verifying effectiveness.  Participants will leave this valuable webinar armed with effective tools and the knowledge to use them properly.  This 1-hour FREE event will transform the way you think about problem solving. Here’s what will be covered:

  • Organizational barriers to problem solving
  • The fundamentals of effective problem solving
  • Prioritizing problems
  • Stating the problem
  • Defining the current process
  • Identifying the causes
  • Planning and implementing solutions
  • Verifying effectiveness
  • Documenting the improvement

The program is based on Craig Cochran’s new book, “Problem Solving in Plain English.”   Craig is the North Metro Atlanta Region Manager for Georgia Tech’s Enterprise Innovation Institute.   Join us for this outstanding morning of learning and organizational improvement. You won’t be disappointed.
