About the Book

Modern scientific research has demonstrated that groups are likely to solve problems more effectively than individuals. As most of us knew already, two heads (or more) are better than one. In organizations it makes sense to harness the power of the group both to deal with problems already identified and to generate ideas for enhancing effectiveness by reducing costs, increasing productivity and the like. In this revised and updated edition, Mike Robson first introduces the concepts and methods involved. Then, after setting out the advantages of the group approach, he examines in detail each of the eight key problem-solving techniques. The final part of the book explains how to present proposed solutions, how to evaluate results and how to ensure that the group process runs smoothly. With its practical tone and visuals, this text is designed for managers and trainers looking for ways of improving their organization and their department's performance.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 The benefits of group problem solving; problem-solving groups. Part 2 Problem-solving techniques: the problem-solving process; brainstorming; defining problems clearly; analyzing problems; collecting data; interpreting data; finding solutions; cost-benefit analysis. Part 3 Following through: presenting solutions; working together; dealing with problems in the group.
