Creative Problem Solving & Decision Making

Creativity is about having hundreds, thousands or even millions of solutions to one problem, while we have hardly few. With time, problem solving and decision-making perspective has evolved and matured. In today’s world, facts are not considered as problems but an outcome of underlying problem which results in specific outcome to which we see as problem.

Decision design is a completely different science which starts with establishing alternatives followed by deciding solution implementation methodology, agreeing implementation plan and creating a decision success or failure review plan in advance.
