SOLVING PROBLEMS and MAKING DECISIONS

Whether or not it is their specific mission, most teams inside organizations are created to solve either one or a series of business problems. Even established tasks often present teams with new challenges, as business methods or workflows change. For these reasons, effective teams must know how to define and analyze problems and to make decisions that help reach desired outcomes. A solid problem-solving process helps them do this with maximized efficiency.
